Pathologies of cerebral vessels are currently a common cause of death in people in our country. A general deterioration in the quality of life, an increase in the stress background cause a massive spread of these diseases, reaching terrible figures - about 450,000 strokes per year in Russia.
About 80% of patients with this diagnosis survive, but at the same time, their life functions are reduced and their capabilities are limited.
Patients think that you need to change the diet, reduce the pace of activity and emotional stress, streamline your regimen, give up alcohol and nicotine, walk at least an hour a day, but not all follow these recommendations. This is the cause of the unpleasant symptoms, which indicate the presence of diseases of the vessels of the brain, more and more “younger”.
In the presence of human memory impairment, headaches, constant anxiety and distraction, the drug “Bilobil” is prescribed. Reviews about him are abundant.
Release Forms
The drug has the following release forms:

When is the drug used?
The Slovenian preparation Bilobil is an extract of ginkgo biloba leaves with a low content of auxiliary components (lactose monohydrate, corn starch, liquid dextrose, talc, magnesium, silicon dioxide).

Ginkgo bilobate, or Ginkgo biloba, is a sprawling 40-meter tree with leaves of extraordinary shape. Such a plant is the only one in its class that has managed to survive the global cataclysms of nature.
Scientists very much regret that there is no mass distribution of such useful plant forms, as this would help to heal all of humanity.
This relict tree has been growing on the planet for approximately 250 million years. Currently, its growth area is only the eastern parts of China. In health-improving innovative technologies and pharmacology, ginkgo leaves are used. They contain flavone glycosides that can give the bloodstream a high speed by acting on spasmodic or sclerotic vessels. In addition, the leaves of the plant are a source of terpenes, ginkgolic and organic acids, amino acids necessary for the body. The extract also contains steroids, vitamins and waxes.
The plant is the source of an extensive list of useful elements (titanium, selenium, iron, manganese, potassium, phosphorus and calcium).
