Long post, sorry. Ginkgo biloba: what actually has human evidence behind it, and what is extrapolation from animals?
The measured outcome and the hoped-for outcome are rarely the same thing in these threads.
Sample size, blinding, and who paid for it. Those three questions kill most of the confidence in most of these threads.
Loose evidence is not the same as no evidence and people overcorrect in both directions.
Vivid dreams and mild headache for the first 10 days, then nothing. Textbook for this class, apparently.
What is the strongest human evidence anyone here has actually read, not skimmed?
This board overrates bloodwork. A number moving is not the outcome you wanted.
Loose evidence and no evidence are different, and people overcorrect in both directions. A year in on ginkgo biloba and it lines up.
Underdosing and tolerance are indistinguishable from the inside, and everyone picks the flattering explanation.
A certificate of analysis answers one question and gets quoted as though it answers four.
Is a baseline blood test really necessary before starting something like this? How long have you been on ginkgo biloba?
Narrow conclusion.
Loose evidence and no evidence are different, and people overcorrect in both directions.
A certificate of analysis answers one question and gets quoted as though it answers four. Mild sedation was my main issue with ginkgo biloba too.
Nobody has ever been talked out of a stack by a stranger on the internet.
