Ginko biloba

Hi everyone,

I am taking ginko biloba to improve my circulation and erection, I have been taking 2 pills each day for the past 7 days (it says 250mg on the bottle, no standardized % label) and I don’t really see an improvement.
Should I up the dosage? Wait longer?

Can’t remember exactly, but for some reason I am thinking it takes about 2 weeks. I am looking to get some as well for slightly stronger erections, and started a thread about it a little while back. All I can remember for sure, is that someone responded and I remember them saying it does not have an immediate effect. I suggest searching the forum with the search button and I am sure you could find something. Otherwise, surely someone will respond with the answer you need, or link you to an appropriate thread. Happy gaining!

Hi

Well, I just bought Ginkgo 50mg yesterday.

I don’t think that it can really make any enlargement alone even thought it increases the blood flow to the penis. But I read somewhere that it increases the stretchability of the tissues. So probably it helps you to get faster results with PE exercises.

That’s all I know

I hope it helps

Ginkgo is far more effective if it is standardized. You would have to take 6 grams of non-standardized Ginkgo to equal 60mg of standardized Ginkgo.

Also ginkgo takes 14 days to take full effect but once it does you will get good erection quality.

I’m sorry, just what does standardize mean? Like, what is the difference between standardized and non-stnadardized? Sorry if this is a dumb question…chalk it up to my young age and little ‘real world’ experience :) .

Standardized means that it contains a specified amount of the effective chemical that gives that herb it’s power. In the case of Ginkgo it is standardized for two chemicals.24% ginkgo biloba glycosides and 6% terpene lactories.

Ginkgo is a anti-aggregate, blocks plack from forming in artery walls.

Ginkgo stimulates nitrous oxide in the corpus cavernosa.

Ginkgo goes beyond viagra in that it makes you horny not just improve erections.

Ginkgo improves circulation even in the smallest of blood vessels.

Ginkgo is a vassal dialator.

Ginkgo is an cortisol blocker.

Before too much time passes, complete you PE Statistics. It’s easy, just click on “quick links” and then “PE Statistics.” It will help you keep a record of your progress and gains and other will be able to follow it also.

Good Luck with you PEing and may your dream gains come true.

WELCOME Reiki to Thunder’s Place.

Check the Binkgo Biloba bottle and it should say on the front AND in the “Supplement Facts” that it is “Standardized Extract, standardized to contain 24% Ginkgo Flavone Glucosides and 6% Terpene Lactories.” If not, don’t buy it.

Also, complete you PE Statistic as soo as you can so you can keep a record of your progress and gains. Click “quick link” and then “PE Statistics.” It’s easy.

Good PEing.

P.S. I just saw that kingpole answered your question. I didn’t see it or it was being done while I was doing mine. In any case, follow kingpols advise. He knows about this stuff.

Hm that might explain why I still don’t notice anything at all. I’m going to look for another bottle very soon then! Thanks for the advice!

Hey guys, this is an update.

I bought a new bottle that has the 24% and 6% standardized thing on it. Each pill is 120mg. I take 2 a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.
I’m on day 5 now, haven’t noticed anything. I’ll finish the bottle and see how it goes :D

Are there any more supplements I can take to harden my erection? Damn thing just seems stuck around 70/75% erection, I can get bursts of 90/95/100% but they don’t last long.

Hey Reiki, welcome to Thunder’s :)

Try L-Arginine. It’s an amino acid that can increase the production of growth hormone and boosts nitric oxide levels in the body. I used it a couple of years ago. My erections were harder/more frequent and it increased the volume of my ejaculation. It’s also used to treat ED in many cases. Not expensive either.

Reiki, ginko biloba usaually takes a steady 2 to 3 weeks of using until you really notice some effect.

Ginkgo takes a good 14 days to set in, but keeps on working.

Ok, thank you, I’m gonna take a look around for some L-arginine, is there a dosage requirement I should be aware of? Or certain brands?

Day 6 on ginko :D

Hmm I wonder about Ginkgo Biloba. I’ve seen one study here: <a href=”http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=14706564&d opt=Abstract”>Estrogenic activities of Ginkgo biloba extracts</a> which seems to imply that gingko may stimulate estrogen production. Now this may not necessarily be bad since it could be that the male body could well decide to produce more testosterone were estrogen levels to rise but what happens to men above a certain age who are reported to have higher estrogen levels than their menopausal spouses?

As I understand it high levels of estrogen in men may trick the body in thinking it is producing testosterone by overflooding the testosterone receptors in the hypothalamus which would induce the body to further reduce testosterone production.

I’ve seen that many members have positive experiences with Ginkgo Biloba. Have any of you noticed lower rates of free testosterone during long term use of Ginkgo (or weight gain, etc)? Estrogen seems to have an important role on memory and possibly cancer prevention which could explain why Ginkgo is commonly touted as a memory enhancer. Maybe this is not due to the vasodilatory properties of Gingko but is linked to possibly higher estrogen levels?

Thoughts, inputs and experiences very welcome :-)
