Analysis

Irwin Naturals Fenugreek RED is a highly specialized and expensive supplement, featuring a large number of ingredients like L-Citrulline, Fenugreek, and Tongkat Ali, primarily aimed at male enhancement and performance. While it does contain 120mg of Ginkgo extract, there are no standardization details provided for its active compounds (flavone glycosides and terpene lactones), which are essential for assessing its quality and efficacy for brain, cognitive, and cardiovascular health. Nutritionists would generally recommend a dedicated, standardized Ginkgo product for these specific goals. The extremely high price per serving ($2.10) makes it impractical and inefficient if Ginkgo's benefits are the primary interest, as most of the cost goes towards ingredients unrelated to Ginkgo's unique effects.

Pros
  • Contains Ginkgo biloba, albeit unstandardized
Cons
  • Exorbitantly high price per serving
  • Ginkgo extract is unstandardized, lacking proven potency
  • Formulation is overly complex and not focused on Ginkgo's specific benefits
  • Mainly targeted at male enhancement, not general brain/cardio health
Warnings
  • Not recommended if your primary goal is Ginkgo's specific benefits due to cost and lack of standardization.
  • Consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if you have existing health conditions or are on other medications due to the complex blend of ingredients.

Categories
Ginkgo 15.0
As a Ginkgo product, it fails due to being unstandardized, overpriced, and buried within a blend that makes it inefficient for dedicated Ginkgo supplementation.
Goals
Brain Health 20.0
Given its unstandardized Ginkgo and the product's primary focus on male vitality rather than brain health, its contribution to cognitive functions is highly uncertain and inefficient.
Cognitive Support 20.0
The lack of standardization for the Ginkgo extract means that even though it's present, its effectiveness for specific cognitive support is unreliable within this broad and expensive formulation.
Cardiovascular Support 20.0
While Ginkgo has cardiovascular benefits, the unstandardized nature and the product's overall male vitality focus make it a very poor and costly choice for achieving targeted cardiovascular support.

A far more affordable option that provides a concentrated 125mg Ginkgo extract. It is a much better choice if the primary interest is Ginkgo at a budget, rather than the high-cost multi-ingredient original.
