Since I wont be getting time to Acclimatize. I have decided to try this at TRT 100m, and follow a 3 week
routine of Ginkgo and keep taking the capsules during the run. my dosage will be 120mg a day, for 3 weeks.
Given my last year's performance at TRT 50M, I Will find how Ginkgo will help in other High Altitude ventures.
