Jarrow Formulas, Vinpocetine, 5 mg, 100 Capsules

An excellent nerve regenerator, but

Can be slightly hard on the liver (for those with ailing livers, at least). Some products combine Vinpocetine and Ginkgo Biloba and claim memory-enhancement properties (no comment on that). I can vouch for the nerve-regeneration potential, as my sense of taste was permanently improved by taking ONE pill. I can no longer eat extremely spicy food (which may be normal for a Scandinavian). I don't recommend taking this product every day. Don't take any more than needed to attain your objective.

Christopher's Original Formulas, Heavy Mineral Bugleweed Formula, 400 mg Each, 100 Veggie Caps

Odd but somewhat useful

I sometimes take one of these pills in addition to a handful of other stuff (NAC, Modifilan, etc) for heavy metal detox. Although this product claims to be for "heavy minerals", it appears to be formulated primarily for lead. I never take more than one pill per day, as there is a mild narcotic sedative effect, so don't use before driving or operating machinery (evening is best).

It's best to keep copper in the "Goldilocks Zone", as either too much or too little is bad. I take WITH FOOD once every 1-2 weeks when feeling run down. If I get brief nausea then I know I'm topped off. I'm not sure the average person needs this, especially if your water lines are copper.

Now Foods, Ginkgo Biloba, 120 mg, 200 Vcaps

Potent Ginkgo Product

A conveniently packaged way of getting a double-dose of Ginkgo Biloba, which is a blood thinner. Ginkgo Biloba improves the dispersion of minerals and herbs that are taken at the same time. Do not take ANY Ginkgo Biloba product in Mega-doses, as excessive bleeding can result. Take care (ask a doctor) if you are taking any other blood thinners (even aspirin).

I'm quite impressed with this blend of anti-inflammatory agents. It's an important part of my regimen for dealing with hearing damage caused by brief exposure to very loud music.

Using this as part of a successful heavy-metal removal protocol. I have some VitalzymeSEB on hand but this seems more potent. I've found that taking equal amounts of each product to be quite effective. Oddly, I've noticed that taking 40% Neprinol and 60% VitalzymeSEB to be far less effective than a 50/50 split. Perhaps the body is ultra-sensitive to the final ratios of the underlying components (note that both products have similar ingredients). Both products are helpful for runaway middle ear inflammation (search for web article by Dr. James Howenstine).

Now Foods, Bone Strength, 240 Capsules

Excellent Multi-Mineral Product

For those who avoid dairy, this product is an excellent choice, as it provides important minerals (including calcium) in a way that is NOT redundant with many multi-vitamin/mineral products IMHO. This particular product has less copper than other similar NOW products, which is important since too much copper is bad news (but so is too little). Even though the recommended serving size is 6 capsules per day, I have had noticeable results with just 2 per day (one bottle lasts three time as long) when combined with small amounts of a broad-spectrum multi-vitamin/mineral product.

Now Foods, TMG (Trimethylglycine), 1,000 mg, 100 Tablets

Useful with Dairy Products

Posted on Feb 03, 2011

Purchased at iHerb

NOW TMG does a good job of ameliorating some of the negative health aspects of eating ice cream on occasion (no more transient chest pains). However, it's still a scientific fact (I've read the studies) that dairy (even fat-free) is bad news, particularly for men -- bovine proteins clog one's arteries.
