Gingobeta® 80 mg film-coated tablets

Gingobeta® is a herbal medicine used to improve age-related cognitive impairment and quality of life in mild dementia.Forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating and memory are common symptoms that can occur with age and mild dementia.These symptoms can be partially attributed to reduced blood flow to the brain.

The brain can be stimulated through targeted exercises and physical activity, which increases blood circulation and therefore improves memory and concentration.The Ginkgo biloba extract contained in Gingobeta® has a blood circulation-promoting effect, which improves the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the brain and thereby increases memory and concentration abilities.

No prescription is required for this product.
