 Ginko Biloba is one of the most popular natropics on the market. But is it really helpful? Well, let's find out. Hi friends, welcome back to my channel. My name is Greg and I'm a brain hacker creating content that will help you upgrade your brain performance. If that's interesting then subscribe below and join our amazing community. Today we're going to talk about Ginko Biloba. I'm going to tell you about my experience with this natropic. I'm going to talk about benefits, side effects and at the end of the video I'm going to tell you who should supplement Ginko Biloba and who should probably avoid it. So if you're ready let's just begin. Now Ginko Biloba has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries basically especially they use the leaves and the seeds of this interesting tree. Now most recently we can see lots of research being done using Ginko Biloba extracts. As a matter of fact even my ex-girlfriend who is a daughter of a pharmacist used Ginko Biloba many many years ago about 12 years ago for the end exams in high schools because she wanted to have better memory during the exams. So yes I've known Ginko Biloba for quite some time. But recently I decided to try it out again for a bit longer period and see what happens. Now the recommended daily dosage is about 120 to 240 milligrams per day. So I decided to stick with the higher dosage 240 milligrams per day. I always took the capsules in the morning after eating food because that's the preferred way of taking Ginko Biloba especially if you want to avoid any kind of side effects. Now according to studies I expected the following benefits reduced anxiety more brain power and better well-being and also improved memory. Of course there are many are benefits of taking Ginko Biloba if you want to learn about them check my video up here. Now firstly it's hard to say that my anxiety reduced during the time when I was supplementing Ginko Biloba. There were days I felt really good I wasn't anxious at all my stress levels were quite low but there are also days that I can remember that were quite anxious and stressful. However what I noticed is the longer I was taking Ginko Biloba the better I felt and the less often happened that I was anxious or stressed and I think this happened because Ginko Biloba is a very powerful antioxidant and the longer you take it the more effective it basically gets at fighting the free the damaging free radicals in your brain.

Now sadly during my test period I didn't experience any kind of calling to benefits my memory kind of stays the same I didn't notice any kind of benefits at all even though it's usually kind of hard to matter the effects of memory but yeah at least I expected something but this something didn't really happen. Also I didn't really feel that I have more brain power more cognition more brain energy everything kind of stayed the same as before. However I think that my well being slightly improved probably this was related to reduced anxiety and stress but it could also be because as I said before Ginko Biloba is a very potent antioxidant it contains flavonoids and terpenoids and this exact compounds fight free radicals and have many many potential benefits so after weeks and months of taking Ginko Biloba yes I can say I was in a bare mood and I felt that my well-being actually improved. However compared to some other nitropics like Rodiola or Ceph for example by the way you can watch my review of Rodiola up here the effects were kind of subtle and yeah there's no doubt they're more potent and more effective nitropics available on the market. Also the study is done on healthy population kind of a show mixed results. Now what about the side effects during my test period I had no issues with Ginko Biloba as I said I was taking it with food which you should do because most people that experience side effects such as headaches stomach pain diarrhea and so on they probably happened because people took a supplement without food on an empty stomach so take Ginko Biloba with food and I think you're on the safe side and if something happens do consult your doctor right away and stop taking Ginko Biloba. Also if you're taking any antidepressants or SSRIs or blood thinners like aspirin or even ibuprofen in this case I don't recommend taking Ginko Biloba. If you do before you do that definitely consult your doctor. By the way guys do you want to know how well does your brain work? Go through our free brain assessment link in the description below and get your brain health score. So my final conclusion is it worth supplementing Ginko Biloba or not? Well if you're slightly older and you're already in cognitive decline that in this case I definitely recommend supplementing Ginko Biloba because the studies for people in cognitive decline are very supportive and they show that supplementing Ginko can slow down cognitive decline. But if you're a professional, a young professional who want to have more brain power I think there are much better on tropics available on the market.
