What is GINKOBA ® ?

Why GINKOBA?

GINKOBA is a supplement that safely enhances memory and concentration by improving blood circulation to the brain.· It is believed that improved blood circulation increases the flow of oxygen, resulting in positive effects on mental performance.

With more than 30 years of clinical support, GINKOBA contains the most extensively tested Ginkgo biloba extract in the world and is made using a patented (U.S. Patent No. 5,399,348) standardization process that guarantees every tablet contains a consistent amount of active components.

Standardized for Reliability.

The natural herbal extract in GINKOBA is unlike that found in other Ginkgo biloba products. GINKOBA is produced using strict pharmaceutical company standards. It is prepared using a patented standardization process that ensures every tablet contains a consistent amount of active components.
