Just came across this research on an extract from bark of a certain tree....thought to enhance memory in MTBI. Anti-oxidant properties.

Seems like it is worth a try. Has anyone tried it yet?

I have seen it bundled with other things but not alone. Maybe it is by presciption here in Canada or the USA?

Not sure if I should have posted this in the supplements tab. I am sure someone will advise me!

Interesting study. I see some problems with it though.

The grading was done by self-reporting of cognitive failures. This is a huge monkey wrench in the results making this study very week. Plus, the small cohort (60 people) is a weakness.

What this study says is that a much larger and complex study would be worthwhile. Nuero Cognitive testing to reduce the self-reporting weakness would be great.

It is KILLER expensive. It is $0.50 per capsule of 60 mgs of Enzogenol. The study was with 1000 mgs per day. That would be 16 capsules at a daily cost of $8.00. No wonder they sell if by the case at $29.50 per bottle of 60 capsules.

I just bought some. am desperate after 5 years and willing to try anything taking this plus a million vitamin supplements for 3 weeks and ahve't seen any improvement yet. I don't kow if I am wasting money though because cognitive problems aren't my biggest weakness, it's the sensory problesm that oare the worst, like feeling of swelling in head and spine, diahrea, impotence, brain fog, itching of scalp, niht terrors, etc.

If you didn't buy directly from the manufacturers you are wasting your time. I called them and they apparently started putting out their own finished product as they guarantee the amount of enzogenol in the capsules. *edit*

I actually did buy it from the manufacturer. couldn't believe how fast it got here from, I think, Australia?
