Forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating and memory are common symptoms that can occur with age and mild dementia.These symptoms can be caused by reduced blood flow to the brain.Ginkgo biloba extract, as contained in Gingobeta® 240 mg film-coated tablets, is often used to support therapy.This extract promotes blood circulation and therefore improves oxygen and nutrient delivery to the brain, which in turn can increase memory and concentration skills.

The ginkgo tree, from whose leaves the extract is obtained, originally comes from China and can live up to 1,000 years.In East Asia, the ginkgo tree is traditionally used as a medicinal plant.The special extract for Gingobeta® is obtained from its leaves.

To improve memory and concentration, the following tips can be helpful: drinking enough water, eating regularly, physical activity such as cycling or climbing stairs, and stimulating the brain by learning new things, such as through dance classes or games.
