I read that ginkgold is effective for treating tintinnitis (ringing in the ears or hearing sounds that aren't really there). I have an acoustic neuroma, which is a benign tumor on the eighth cranial nerve, and causes vertigo, imbalance, dizziness, and funny noises in my ears. Sometimes it's just a high-pitched whine, sometimes it's country music, sometimes it's the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Thank goodness there aren't any voices telling me to do terrible things....that would require treatment significantly stronger than ginkgold!!!!
The ginkgold seems to help, but I find I have to take at least two tablets per day for any degree of effectiveness. As with most herbal remedies, I have to take it consistently for it to work, and I guess there's no stopping point.
If you are suffering from imbalance, ringing in the ears, or memory problems, I've found that ginkgold HELPS, but it is not a panacea. You have to avoid alcohol and tobacco (which is difficult -- isn't that how most of us got to this point to begin with?) and you have to monitor your blood pressure and blood sugar. However, as part of a larger program, the ginkgold works, and this particular brand is excellent for doing what ginkgold is supposed to do -- improve your memory, improve your sense of balance, and keep the mysterious conversationalists from interfering with your normal hearing).
One word of caution: because it works on your memory center, you may experience very vivid dreams for a time. I've found that the forbidden glass of wine in the evenings helps to offset this particular side effect.....

I have been taking this for the last couple of years. I think it really does help out with memory. At least I dont forget to take one every day!!!

I've tried lots of different ginko products, but this is the best of them all. I'm using the 120 mg, but seem to think I've used the 60 mg before and it even was better than others. I don't know what the difference is, but at about 2 weeks, I go from being kind of foggy and forgetting words to the words just flowing out! I highly recommend it.
