Chemar Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Gingko has no benefit for tics as far as I know. It helps with memory/focus/attention grapeseed extract is an excellent supplement and helpful for many conditions and never caused any problems for my son I honestly cant "recommend" anything as each individual reacts differently to things.

Hmm i think i would really benefit from Gingko so i should get that one i guess i dont need grapeseed extract. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey111 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I can tell you that Ginko and Grapeseed have come up in all of my personal (ONLINE) research. I have not added either.....I bought the Ginko, but got scared b/c my son is only 7 and it says not to give to children.......I read great things about both supplements.

guy123 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 tyrosine stimulates dopamine = increased tics I wonder what would happen if you used it for a long time, if your body would downregulate or something because of the increased dopamine, and then when you stopped using it if you would have a decrease in tics below baseline (possibly temporarily until your body readjusted to baseline). Not trying it on myself, just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemar Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 personally I dont feel that people who have Tourette Syndrome would achieve that kind of change plus the risks of adding a substantial tic trigger for someone who has TS can be very serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
