Ginkgo biloba

Ginkgo biloba is a herbal supplement that originates from traditional Chinese medicine. The tree’s leaves were used to treat brain and circulatory problems, as well as respiratory conditions. Ginkgo’s fruits were used for cough, fever, diarrhea, toothaches and sexually transmitted diseases.

Now, it’s recommended to treat anxiety, dementia, glaucoma and macular degeneration, but is considered to be great for memory function as well. However, taken alongside other types of medication, it can really surprise you with some nasty side effects. Ginkgo can lower blood pressure, so if you’re taking it with other blood pressure medications, it might cause your blood pressure to drop too low. Also, Ginkgo raises and lowers blood sugar levels, so if you have diabetes, this supplement is a big no-no for you.

  1. I take 10 grams of vitamin C whenever i go out. Thats 10,000 mg. it prevents me from catching the wuhan virus.
    I’ve practiced this since March 2020. In the body vitamin C converts to hydrogen peroxide. When a molecule of virus enters my bloodstream it meets a tsunami of hydrogen peroxide and dies.

    1. Unless very high doses of vit c are taken via IV treatment, u will never achieve the levels that u r casually refering to…. This is regardless of the amount of vitamin C u take orally. When taken orally the levels remain quite low. Stop spreading skewed information.
