Review
Summary |
Ginkgo 24 is a supplement marketed by a company called Source Naturals, which offers a variety of general nutritional products for better health. This particular supplement appears to be geared towards aging men and women who would like to address memory related issues, such as forgetfulness, mental fatigue and short or long term memory loss. The company says Ginkgo 24 is effective, but it appears to have received mixed reviews elsewhere.

| Ingredients At A Glance |
|
The product's supplement facts panel indicates that the formula is based entirely on Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, with 24 percent Flavoneglycosides and 6 percent Terpene Lactones. Ginkgo 24 is available at time of review in three different dosages: the 40 milligram tablet, the 60 milligram tablet and the 120 milligram tablet. Ginkgo 24 can be purchased through the official website at this time.

| Ingredients in Focus |
|
Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract has been used for ages in various cultures for many different health promoting applications, and proponents have long praised this natural ingredient's purported memory enhancing properties. According to the company, the Ginkgo Biloba tree has survived for more than 200 million years virtually unchanged and may be the Earth's oldest living species of tree.
This ingredient certainly has built up a reputation in the general consumer market for better memory and improved cognitive function, but it is not clear whether it offers any substantial long term benefits. The 50 to 1 concentration advertised by the company seems to imply that the Ginkgo Biloba included here is more potent than the content found elsewhere, but it still may not be ideal for fortifying the brain with vital nutrients, or for strengthening the cell membranes.

A supplement like Ginkgo 24 may be marketed as one of the most potent memory enhancers on the market today, but it is unclear whether users have experienced the results they wanted over the long run. The few consumer testimonials posted online indicate that the supplement may not be any more powerful than the other Ginkgo Biloba products available in stores. We generally like to see many positive consumer success stories linked to a product before using it or recommending it to anybody, and it has been our experience that Ginkgo based products do not generally create such results. However, there are ingredients, like Vinpocetine and Phosphatidylserine, on the market that have been proven to increase cognitive function. Such products usually receive positive reviews and therefore may be a better option.
|
| Positives |
|
• The product is available in tablets of various dosages
• Ginkgo 24 may be purchased at affordable prices
|
| Negatives |
|
• The company is not well known for great customer service
• A 100 percent money back guarantee may not be available
• Consumer testimonials do not seem conclusive at this time
• Does not contain any Vinpocetine or Phosphatidylserine
|
| Final Thoughts |
|
Ginkgo 24 seems to be acceptable for those looking for a Ginkgo Biloba supplement and nothing more, but those looking for a truly potent memory enhancer to boost their cognitive function may want to look elsewhere. The product seems to be missing the latest ingredients that are usually included in the most well regarded supplements today for better brain health, and the apparent lack of consumer success stories at this time may also turn off would be buyers.
