Hi!

 

Am reading Brain Longevity by Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D. He recommends

supplements like Gingko Biloba, etc.

 

Where do you purchase quality supplements? How do you determine the

quality of supplements?

 

Thanks.

Sat Nam Jerry:

 

When it comes to simple herbs like Gingko Biloba, I think the only

things to worry about are freshness and fillers. Some retailers

don't have a high turnover of some items, so check the packaging

label to ensure that you are getting something fresh, and to find

things that don't have fillers. Often the organically produced and

vegetarian specifications can lead you to better quality items.

 

Some herbs, like ginseng or echinacea, can come from different

plants. From what I've read, it appears that American ginseng is

more desirable than Siberian ginseng, whereas the 3 common forms of

echinacea seem roughly equivalent.

 

When it comes to items that require processing or manufacturing, such

as DHEA, I think you have to be very cautious about the production

facilities and quality control (and of course freshness). Some

companies have very high standards, meeting or exceeding the clean-

room conditions required for pharmaceutical manufacturing, and I

think one should want no less. At the moment, adhering to such

standard is voluntary, so you'll probably want to look into the same

things the FDA recommends in their new framework for dietary

supplements:

 

Look for ingredients in products with the U.S.P. notation, which

indicates the manufacturer followed standards established by the U.S.

Pharmacopoeia.

 

Consider the name of the manufacturer or distributor. Supplements

made by a nationally known food and drug manufacturer, for example,

have likely been made under tight controls because these companies

already have in place manufacturing standards for their other

products.

 

Write to the supplement manufacturer for more information. Ask the

company about the conditions under which its products were made.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Blessings,

Sadhant

Thank you for pointing out that each of us must find what works for us. I

remember taking a similar product that gave me too much fire. It also make

my face break out. I thought I was a teenager at the age 50. All the

elements must be balanced and there are many different ways to do it that

will suit our own constitutions and being.

 

Sat Nam,

I have tried using Ginko Biloba before. I used one per day at 30 mg each for

a week and it made me nervous, angry, irritable and jittery... I had no

patience with anything or my kids and would fly off the handle irrationally

for no reason...I would love to be able to get the benefits of improved

memory that is reputed to have but I don't seem to be able to tolerate it

well...
