Reviews from neurologists

Evgeniy Ilyich A., 45 years old:

Patients often come to me with complaints of poor concentration, dizziness, and sleep disturbances. For some, regular rest and taking vitamins is enough. For some people, poor health is systematic and requires additional examinations and the use of medications. Most brain stimulants have unpleasant side effects and are addictive. Therefore, I prefer to prescribe the less harmful dietary supplement Ginkoum. It is suitable for most patients, especially those who often experience stress.

As a preventative measure, I would recommend it to schoolchildren, students and elderly pensioners.

Yulia Sergeevna I., 30 years old:

I don’t see anything criminal in the actions and composition of Ginkum. All components are of natural origin. There are no serious contraindications. The product is not addictive. It is available to all patients and has a wide range of positive properties. In any case, it is important to read the instructions before taking the capsules and follow the regimen and dosage.

It’s even better to consult a doctor and get the necessary tests. After all, even mild dizziness can be a symptom of a serious illness, against which Ginkoum is powerless.

Igor Romanovich E., 46 years old:

I recommend using dietary supplements in combination with folk remedies, vitamins and more complex medications. It is captivating that the herbal preparation Ginkoum is suitable for young patients and allows you to protect the nervous system, acting very gently.

However, any remedy, even a natural one, has side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to listen to your body and know in moderation in everything.
