I have to tell you that while taking this fine product my circulation has improved, foot
pain has decreased, and my eyesight has also improved,
much to my surprise. I intend to keep on taking this product regularly, as I have yet to detect any negative side effect
from its use. Thank you for bringing such a
high quality yet affordable product to market. [The customer has taken our ginkgo since January 2006].
