Heed the warnings regarding interactions! I was using Gingko for three weeks to improve my memory. My Rhuematologist prescribed Ibuprofen twice daily for my arthritis and did not ask if I was taking anything. Two weeks later, a massive bruise suddenly appeared on my wrist. It was four inches across and travelled half way up my inner arm. It was hot to the touch and quite swollen. I had not inj...

There are a few herbs that deserve much closer scrutiny. My experience has been first hand. Herbs dosages are critically important for some herbs. Ginkgo like yohimbe and ginseng is very concentrated and has powerful effects most commonly than not. We are far too reckless with these. I wouldn't experiment with Ginkgo unless a last resort is very necessary. Its your brain after all. Use a detox ins...

About a week after I started using ginkgo biloba I developed excruciating stomach pains which put me in a hospital for seven days. I had to have a stent put in my pancreas because I developed pancreatitis. Honestly I’m afraid to take it again.

Goes to show you how unreliable WebMD is. This article says that "Ginkgo doesn't seem to prevent dementia from developing or getting worse." I'm not sure when this was written but this research article says differently, when it comes to the EGb 761 type: Kandiah, N., Ong, P.A., Yuda T., (2019). Treatment of dementia and mild cognitive impairment with or without cerebrovascular disease: Expert consensus on the use of Ginko Biloba extract, EGb 761. CNS Neurosci Therapy, 25 (2): 288-298.

You're taking ginkgo biloba for a couple of weeks I started feeling terrible. I have Crohn's disease and discovered it cause internal bleeding in my intestine I'm very disappointed that WebMD does not have that as a side effect or a warning so therefore I will not be using WebMD for anything in the future I learned about it watching 20/20 20 years ago it should be known by WebMD

After one week of taking this product, I started waking up with a feeling of dread. I stopped it & the feeling went away.

I've been taking Rexall Ginkgo Biloba 120mg once a day for over 10 years now. I do technical work and I've noticed it does help my memory especially names and locations. Now that I'm in my 50's I'm considering upping my dosage.

i took this as a part of testosterone treatment and starting losing my balance right away, with itching and swelling in my left eye, making me sensitive to light and having difficulty walking and just standing up. The stuff is terrible and is not worth it.

I purchased Ginkgo Biloba Extract 120 mg, brand: Spring Valley-Made in China Walmart, to increase my engineering concentration at work. I have been taking it over a whole week. 2 hrs after taking each supplement, I have experienced headaches in my left side of head. Feel like my left ear is muffed & tingling. Heartbeat 72-75 BMP, 2 hrs later. It could be my imagination, but I feel my brain is pulsing inside very slowly. Weird experience! Left ear feels like when it is infected as it is stuffed and kind of hurts lightly inside the inner tube. Be advise that Herbal meds disappear from your blood stream and if something happens to you, your blood test might not indicate the trace. Read More Read Less

started to have moderate to severe dizziness to the point of loss of balance. I am guessing my blood is too thin since it works like a blood thinner. Talk with your provider before taking if you are already on supplements and Meds.

I started taking this for my memory, as I had a hard time remembering things. I noticed a little improvement. But more than that, my hands were starting to shake before taking "ginkgo" and after a while I noticed I had calm hands again. Praise God!
