Review
Summary |
Scientists and researchers have confirmed what most of us already know: as we get older our brain health begins to decrease. There are many initial symptoms when this starts to happen. Some individuals notice changes in their eye hand coordination, while others start to have more trouble remembering names or numbers, and learning new things can be harder.
Given the American can do spirit this can be a hard pill to swallow, but this spirit has made its way into the holistic industry, which has come up with some research proven elements that can help address all these issues, so focus, memory and data processing stay nimble and healthy. Doctor's Best Ginkgo is a supplement that is found on many retailer sites, and it is advertised as being one of the more effective holistic products on the market. Its developer indicates that due to its use of Ginkgo, it is a high performer that can help users get their memory back on track. Let’s take a look and see if this is really the case.

| Ingredients At A Glance |
|
As its name suggests, Doctor's Best Ginkgo contains just one element: Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract.
|
| Ingredients in Focus |
|
Doctor's Best has gotten a lot of attention due to the fact that its only ingredient has achieved a certain level of fame due to its purported memory enhancing abilities. Its gotten to the point that even individuals who don’t know anything about holistic herbs and elements know, rightly or wrongly to ask for Ginkgo when they want to improve their memory. However, according to our research, they more often than not end up disappointed, because when it comes to memory and cognitive enhancement, Ginkgo seems to be more hype than fact. In recent studies published in several renowned medical journals it was shown to produce no better results that placebos.

| Consumer Reviews |
|
Doctor's Best Ginkgo and products that rely upon solely upon Ginkgo tend to score really low with consumers, and often have a high level of consumer dissatisfaction associated with them on consumer rating sites and forums. Given the fact that Ginkgo has done so poorly in research studies, this is not a surprise to us, or experts in the field. However, there are actually some really effective memory and cognitive enhancers, like Alpha GPC, on the market that have done equally well with consumers and researchers.

| Positives |
|
• Money back guarantee offered
• Supplement may be on sale on this retailer site
|
| Negatives |
|
• Ginkgo has many contraindications and side effects, including stomach problems, bleeding and wooziness
• Gingko has not done well in recent research studies as a memory enhancer
• Supplement does not contain some of the more proven and potent memory enhancing ingredients available
|
| Final Thoughts |
|
Some consumers really want to try a Ginkgo based supplement like Doctor's Best Ginkgo, due to the mythology that surrounds it, but as is the case with a lot of myths, Gingko has a hard time standing up to scrutiny. It only did as well as a placebo in research studies, and it has more than its fair share of side effects and contraindications. There are actually some far more effective elements, like Alpha GPC, available, which may not be as famous as Ginkgo yet, but given its performance in research studies where it consistently and effectively boosted not only short and long term memory, but also reversed some memory damage, it surely will be soon.
