Ginkgo Smart
Ginkgo Smart by Irwin Naturals is an Omega & Fish Oil combination product, featuring 12 ingredients aimed at cognitive support. The product holds an N+ Score of 55, receiving an F grade, which points to notable deficiencies in its formulation. While Fish Oil is present at a clinically studied dose of 878mg, several other ingredients, such as Choline at 50mg, are underdosed compared to research-backed levels. The formula includes a blend of ingredients like Ginkgo powder (400mg), Acetyl-L-Carnitine (50mg), and Alpha Lipoic Acid (20mg), but the overall ingredient adequacy and completeness contribute to its lower score. This supplement might appeal to those interested in a multi-ingredient approach to cognitive health, but the presence of underdosed components should be considered.
