Bloodwork question about ginkgo biloba. Baseline, six weeks in, and the numbers moved in a direction I did not expect.
I have started logging dose, time, and sleep because otherwise the anecdote is just a mood.
Cold storage, light protection, and a date on the vial. Boring, and it removes half the variables.
If you need three other compounds to notice the first one, you have not tested the first one.
Standardisation matters more than dose with botanicals, and most products say nothing about it.
Interested in the methods more than the conclusion.
Is a baseline blood test really necessary before starting something like this?
Baseline first. Without a baseline the after picture is decoration.
Log dose, time and sleep. Ten seconds a day and it turns the anecdote into something you can look at.
My rule, after years of this: if it cannot survive being written down with the numbers attached, it is marketing.
How long before you can reasonably say something is or is not doing anything?

Three questions kill most of the confidence in a thread like this: sample size, blinding, who paid.
Nobody has ever been talked out of a stack by a stranger on the internet. Currently on ginkgo biloba myself.

Most of what is called evidence here is one person, one vial, one month.

Test one thing at a time. It feels slower and it is the only way to learn anything.
