Product Reviews of TruNature Ginkgo Biloba with Vinpocetine, 60mg (250 Softgels)
Product Review: NOT a Standardized Extract
Summary: 1 Stars
TruNature Ginkgo Biloba does NOT contain the standardized ginkgo extract, as it lacks 6% Terpene Lactones (at least the bottle purchased through Amazon did not list it, but only listed the 24% Ginkgo Flavonglycosides; both together are the standard). And this product contains a relatively higher amount of Vinpocetine than other brands, which is a periwinkle extract that might induce side effects such as reduced immune function and depleted catecholamine levels leading to depression (see wikipedia's Vinpocetine article). TruNature is a Costco product.
Product Review: Phew!!!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have taken Ginkgo Biloba with Vinpocetine 60 mg softgels for years with no problem. But the company must have changed their formula. Now the minute you open the bottle, you are assaulted by an obnoxious smell, so bad that one of my family members gagged. In about 60 seconds the odor from the open bottle completely filled the room and we had to leave. The odor smells like dirty toilet. Bought another bottle with a different expiration date and lot number. Same result. I will never buy this product again.Product Review: The only brand that isn't a waste of money
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried other brands, but for some reason this is the only one that makes a difference for me. In addition to improving focus, it actually does improve mood & energy. Also find it gives me that extra bit of 'push' to get things done when my energy isn't so bad but my motivation or endurance is less than optimal. (oh, and sorry but.. who cares about the smell? It works!)
