Yeah, supposely ginkgo alters the expression of certain genes that regulate the HPA axis. Normally during stress, cortisol decreases the expression of the 5-ht1a receptor. This can, in turn, lead to more stress. Ginkgo can block/reverse some of these alterations.
I think theanine is a good supplement. It seems to have a relaxing effect, as well as producing a sence of well being.
