Gingium®: Plant-based effective and well tolerated
In order for the brain to be able to carry out its various tasks, it needs sufficient nutrients and oxygen. Gingium® helps by promoting blood circulation in the brain, thereby improving memory and concentration.* The high-quality special extract in Gingium® is obtained from the leaves of the ginkgo tree, has a high concentration of natural active ingredients (ginkgofflavone glycosides, terpene lactones) and is well tolerated.
The concentrated power of Ginkgo biloba
Ginkgo biloba is a very special tree. It can live up to 1,000 years because its special plant components protect the tree from pests and environmental toxins. The active ingredient in Gingium® is a special extract from ginkgo leaves and meets the high quality guidelines of the European Pharmacopoeia for medicinal extracts. Among other things, it stipulates what percentage of the active plant components must be contained and what limit values apply, for example, to undesirable substances such as ginkgolic acids.
The complex and standardized manufacturing process ensures a constant content of active ingredients and consistently high quality. In this way, the ginkgo special extract obtained achieves a high degree of effectiveness while at the same time being well tolerated.
Act early on when forgetfulness*
Forgetting is normal, because our brain usually only stores information that it actually needs. While "normal" forgetting is even important, there is also that forgetfulness that limits us in everyday life. This can increase with age. In order for the brain to be able to carry out its various tasks, it must be supplied with sufficient oxygen and nutrients. Circulatory disorders, which often increase with age, can have a negative impact on memory performance.
Herbal medicines such as Gingium® with Ginkgo biloba special extract help to improve the brain's performance and are well tolerated.* With the highly concentrated power of Ginkgo, Gingium® has a 3-fold effect:
- Promotes blood circulation in the brain
- Strengthens the nerve cells
- Improves memory and concentration*
To treat forgetfulness, Gingium® should be taken daily at a dosage of 240 mg per day for at least 8 weeks.
The total dose should not be exceeded without consulting a doctor or pharmacist.
