This is a very interesting article / link to find out how to deal with tinnitus. I myself have suffered with tinnitus 24/7 for more years than I can recall. Studies showed a high prevalence of B-12 deficiency in patients with chronic tinnitus as well as a correlation between the decline of vitamin B-12 levels and the increasing prevalence of tinnitus in the elderly.For myself I know that my body is not able to absorb Vit B-12 so even supplementing won't help me. I suppose what I really need to do is address this mal-absorption first and then work on the Vit B-12 deficiency. It is also reported that good quality grades of Ginkgo and Zinc have been shown in clinical studies to reduce tinnitus.
It is important to take 2 capsules twice daily for at least 100 days in order to determine your total degree of relief.
NB: Ginkgo biloba extract increases circulation and has a mild anticoagulant function. People who are taking prescription anticoagulants, such as Coumadin, or Plavix, or who have a history of bleeding problems such as hemophilia, frequent nosebleeds, hemorrhaging, etc. should consult their physician before using.
