MEMOREX
 •    Ingredients and active components
Memorex tablet contains 40 mg standardized dried extract of Ginko biloba L. with the active ingredients flavone glycosides and terpene lactones. Since Ginko biloba L. contains ginkgolic acid which has harmful effects, this ingredient should be eliminated from the medicine. In this product, the extract used for production of Memorex® tablet has the least amount of Ginkgolic acid (less than 1 ppm) compared to similar products.
 
•    What MEMOREX  is used for 

• Antioxidant properties,
• Treatment of blood brain circulation disorders (loss of memory, vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, headache and depression),
• Disorders of peripheral vessels and Alzheimer disease.

 
•    How MEMOREX  works 
Flavonoids and Ginkgolides are responsible for the pharmacological effects of this medicine. Flavonoids in Ginko biloba L. neutralize and deactivate toxic free radicals and Ginkgolides increase release of catecholamine and other neurotransmitters and stop their breakdown at the nerve endings and increase their efficacy. So, they play an important role in treatment of nervous system disorders, such as depression and Parkinson’s by inhibiting the activity of Catechol O Methyl Transferase (COMT) and Mono Amine Oxidase (MAO) enzymes. Ginkgolides also have antagonistic effect on Platelets Activating Factor (PAF), inhibit coagulation of blood and decrease the risk of harmful hypoxia in brain tissue in ischemic and embolic strokes. Furthermore, they slow down the process of nerve destruction in degenerative diseases.
