ok sam I am out of my final now so once more I will make the time to respond to a poorly defined criticism of a misconception.
RE: works. Depends on what you want it to do. It's a proven anticoagulant. There is a theory, and that is why it shows up in all these supplements, that it therefore improves memory, though I personally suspect that it simply prevents strokes in the elderly and perhaps helps alleviate some small ones. There has not been a lot of research on it, because it is very hard to standardize a dose, for one thing, and they aren't really sure how it works, for another. But this is on memory. I take the stuff because, hello, I almost died of a blood clot last year, and I'd rather avoid that if possible. There are a lot of uncertainties in anticoagulation and I decided I'd rather drink Rock Stars than take rat poison; so far it is working give or take an ER visit or two. RE: something you thought you read, which turns out not to be what you thought you read, except that some guy said what you thought also.... no comment.
