Standardized extract from the leaves of the Ginkgo biloba plant.

Pharmacological action - nootropic, psychostimulating, improves cerebral circulation, antihypoxic, improves microcirculation, antiaggregation, reduces capillary permeability, venotonic, improves peripheral circulation. Normalizes metabolism in cells, rheological properties of blood and microcirculation, as well as vasomotor reactions of blood vessels. Improves cerebral circulation and supply of oxygen and glucose to the brain. It has a dose-dependent vasoregulatory effect, stimulates the production of endothelial relaxing factor, dilates small arteries, increases the tone of veins, regulating the blood supply to blood vessels. Inhibits phosphodiesterase, which leads to the accumulation of cGMP in the smooth muscle cells of arterioles, a decrease in arteriolar tone, incl. spasmodic, and increased blood flow in the microvasculature. Inhibits platelet activating factor, inhibits platelet and erythrocyte aggregation, prevents thrombus formation and the release of mediators that increase smooth muscle tone. Reduces the permeability of the vascular wall, has a pronounced anti-edematous effect (brain, peripheral tissues). It has antihypoxic and antioxidant properties. Prevents the formation of free radicals and lipid peroxidation of cell membranes, promotes an increase in the number of mitochondria and the accumulation of ATP in cells, increased utilization of oxygen and glucose, and normalization of mediator processes in the central nervous system. Animal experiments have shown that it increases the survival of neurons under hypoxic conditions. Affects neurotransmitter processes in the central nervous system: stimulates release from presynaptic terminals and inhibits the reuptake of biogenic amines (norepinephrine, dopamine), increases the sensitivity of postsynaptic muscarinic receptors to acetylcholine. The effect on the acetylcholinergic system causes a nootropic effect, and on the catecholaminergic system - an antidepressant effect. Helps improve cognitive functions, improves memory and learning ability. A single dose, regardless of the dose, leads to an increase in the power of the alpha rhythm, a decrease in the power of slow rhythms on the EEG and the latent period of the “cognitive component” of evoked potentials. In case of Alzheimer's disease, under long-term therapy, it has a stabilizing or weak positive effect on memory impairment, attention, psychomotor functions, optimization of bioelectrical activity of the brain, and helps slow the progression of dementia. It has a positive effect in peripheral circulation disorders: obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremities, diabetic microangiopathy, retinopathy and other conditions accompanied by chronic ischemia of peripheral tissues. In patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremities, a dose of 120-160 mg/day for 3-6 months increases the time/distance until pain appears when walking. Reduces the severity of dizziness and increases potency. When taken orally, it is well absorbed, the maximum concentration is reached after 1.5 hours, the half-life is 4.5 hours. Low toxicity.

Discirculatory encephalopathy (consequences of stroke, traumatic brain injury, old age), manifested by attention and/or memory disorders, decreased intellectual abilities, anxiety, fear, sleep disturbances; dementia, incl. for Alzheimer's disease; to improve memory and attention in young people; neurosensory disorders (dizziness, tinnitus, hypoacusis), age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy; asthenic conditions: psychogenic, neurotic, caused by traumatic brain injury; disorders of peripheral circulation and microcirculation, incl. arteriopathy of the lower extremities, Raynaud's syndrome.

1. Anna

   All preparations based on Ginkgo biloba are the same and Bilobil is no exception. For example, they make me really want to sleep, I realized that it’s not some additional component in the medicine, but ginkgo biloba. But there is no choice, since you need to take it, you have to put up with it and sleep for the entire course of taking this medicine.

2. Agnia

   These bilobil tablets are excellent. Everyone who craps about it either didn’t eat it or used a counterfeit! Thanks to him, all my friends passed the exams and remembered the passport data, TIN, insurance certificate and everything they once learned but forgot, instead of 3 numbers that were usually memorized, 7 numbers are completely easy to remember. And you also feel active, your mood is high, you remember as much as you have never remembered before. The colors of the clothes of people passing by. Names of everything! The coolest thing in the world that I and my friends and husband have ever tried!

3. Katerina

And the medicine acts progressively, it has a cumulative effect, which means there is no sudden load on the body. And by the way, it is natural and safe, the brain quickly begins to work better. I know what I’m talking about, because I took tanakan for 11 months before and had zero effect, I spent the money. With Bilobil Intens everything is easier and better.

4. Lhea

   Bilobil forte helps better, I know from myself, I used to drink ginkgo, but the dosage of ginkgo itself is small, so there is no special effect. Although at first I took ginkum, it seemed cheap, but in the end the stingy person pays twice, it makes no sense to buy something that doesn’t help at all. Now with Bilobil Forte, I have excellent attention, concentration, restful sleep, my head thinks much faster, this is only after a month of taking Bilobil Forte, but they recommend taking it for three months. So there’s nothing to even compare Bilobil with - it’s a unique drug.

It’s good that for impaired peripheral circulation, when the legs become numb and swollen, there is a herbal preparation called Bilobil Forte. I've had this problem for a long time. Even as a child, my feet were constantly cold. And with Bilobil, I got rid of it in three months of treatment. The doctor told me to drink it again in six months to consolidate the results. But now, after the first course, I feel good.

7. Solovka

   My brain had been in need of nourishment for a long time, I felt it. She became very inattentive and forgetful. I forgot even the simplest things. This is very annoying, especially at work.

After the course of Bilobil Forte, I felt real changes, a return to myself, so to speak))) My thoughts really became clearer and my head was lighter.

My sleep has improved, I remember everything I need and even more.

10. Volkova

    Six months ago I took Bilobil forte capsules when I became inattentive and forgot some things at work or around the house. And I felt the changes quite quickly.

At work, I stopped making notes on my desk about who to call, when my colleagues stopped reminding me about meetings, since I myself remember everything perfectly. Excellent results from the medicine.

11. Olga

My head thinks well, I remember everything easier, I no longer get distracted and feel sleepy in the morning. This effect of the medicine is due to the plant extract of ginkgo biloba leaves. Helps and does not cause allergies.

12. Faya

    I am a teacher, and in my case, memory problems automatically mean professional incompetence. Therefore, once a year I take a course of Bilobil Forte to improve cerebral circulation and improve cognitive functions. I take 2 capsules a day for 3 months and feel the effect, which lasts for a long time. The drug really works.

13. Talya

    The good thing about the natural preparation Bilobil intense is that it is natural and very effective, 120 mg of ginkgo. Before treatment, I had problems with the blood vessels of the brain: my head was spinning, I got tired quickly and my attention and memory failed. And when I started taking these capsules, after a couple of weeks I complained less about problems with my head, and by the end of the three-month course my head became clear, my memory is excellent and I can concentrate on something for a long time.

14. Denisova

    I did not get the effect that the manufacturers promised from ginkum. I switched to Bilobil forte. It made me feel better and there were no side effects. Previously, at the end of the working day my head simply became dull from heavy workload, but then I started taking 2 capsules a day and after a while the dizziness decreased and absent-mindedness began to recede. The drug improved cerebral circulation and helped solve my health problems.

15. Tuchina

    Bilobil Intense is better for strengthening memory, I haven’t seen any attention. And it’s not necessary, since the bilobil does not fail. Both my mother and I drank it.

16. Vlada

    I bought Bilobil Forte for my grandmother, she is already 68.

I read the instructions, indications for use and began to drink Bilobil myself to improve memory and attention. It helps a lot.

17. Katerina

    I got tired of my own forgetfulness and started taking Bilobil Intense according to a doctor’s prescription. Herbal preparation – ginkgo biloba extract. I read about this plant and found out that it has long been used to improve mental abilities and is very effective. And the bilobil is also safe. I swallowed 1 capsule in the morning and 1 in the evening. My thoughts became “clear” and forgetfulness went away.

18. Hope

There is still time for myself)) And Bilobil Forte has a cumulative effect, so I plan to take the full course - 3 months. And repeat once a year for prevention. The effect is simply great!

19. Irgi

    Take Bilobil intense 1 capsule 2 times a day and your brain function will be at its best! Because the drug improves blood circulation in the brain and improves the supply of oxygen to brain cells. And in addition to the effectiveness and natural composition, I came across the release form - capsules. It’s convenient to drink Bilobil intense, but Tanakan is tablets, I tolerate them worse than capsules, and the price doesn’t suit me. Bilobil is better.

20. Svetlana

    Bilobil forte really works - it improves blood supply to tissues and organs. Therefore, dizziness and memory problems quickly disappear with it. And the headache doesn't bother me either. But I didn’t feel any effect from the Evalar ginkgo – it just wasn’t there, the raw materials were probably of poor quality or the concentration of ginkgo extract was too low. Bilobil Forte works, unlike the drug ginkgoum, it has been tested on itself.

21. Vika

    A few months ago I was just buried in unfinished business. In addition to fatigue, absent-mindedness and forgetfulness were added, and sleep was disturbed. Bilobil intense saved me, it is a ginkgo extract that tidies up the blood vessels of the brain and improves cerebral circulation. My attentiveness and memory have been restored, I sleep well, things don’t pile up undone anymore, I manage to get absolutely everything done.

22. Olga

    Bilobil forte helps well with increased stress, fatigue, and improves brain function. Blood circulation improves, and the brain begins to work better. I have no side effects from it. The composition is natural. Of course, in addition to Bilobil Forte, I also tried the dietary supplement Ginkgoum, but it did not suit me. I like the result from Bilobil better.

23. Sonya

    Even earlier, I wanted to buy my mother a drug with a stimulating effect to improve memory and blood circulation in the blood vessels of the brain. She has long complained of forgetfulness, heaviness in the head and dizziness, tinnitus, and restless sleep. After taking Bilobil Forte for a week, she said that her head became clearer, she began to feel better, and the tinnitus disappeared.

24. Lida

    The neurologist prescribed Bilobil Intens for my husband. The task was to improve brain nutrition and saturate the brain with oxygen. Prescribed to take capsules at a dosage of 120 mg 2 times a day with water. After just 2 weeks of taking it, my health improved noticeably

25. Catherine

    Ginkgo biloba helps restore impaired cerebral circulation. I really liked Bilobil forte. Unlike Tanakan, it is not as expensive and works better for me. After the course of treatment, I stop being forgetful and concentrate better on work.

26. Igor

    After staff reduction in the company, one person is forced to do the work of three. Although I am 30 years old, my body’s resources have become scarce. I was looking for a drug to improve brain nutrition and increase productivity. Cavinton and piracetam m did not help, but I liked the effect of Bilobil Intens more. It increased my intellectual capabilities, but there were no side effects from it.

    My mother is a wedding decorator, so we often work all night and then go to the office in the morning to meet a new client. It’s not difficult for me, but my mother had difficulty coping with it. She began to have a headache, noise in her ears, and she could not sleep. We tried Tanakan, but then abandoned it in favor of Bilobil intensive - it is better. With him, my mother became more cheerful, her head didn’t hurt and her nerves were strong.

27. Ruzanna

    Only Bilobil forte had a comprehensive effect, and the rest only slightly improved my memory. I kept thinking that the German Memoplant would be the best of its analogues, but no. Except that in terms of price it is the leader. A package of Bilobil forte 60 is more profitable than 30 tablets of Memoplant! The question is, why pay more?

28. Snezhana Krygina

    In our family, Bilobil intense is always in the first aid kit. I take it when I become forgetful due to overwork, my mother for ringing in the ears, and my father for diabetes, so that there are no problems with vision and glucose is better absorbed. Everyone is happy with the drug and for the price it suits us well. The monthly course is inexpensive, and it is enough to take 1-2 times a day, 1 capsule.

29. Skvortsova Nina

    I bought Bilobil forte for my mother, she says that the capsules helped her, and I also noticed improvements in her condition. Previously, she often forgot everything, she had to constantly check whether she had closed the door or turned off the stove. After 3 weeks of treatment, her memory and attentiveness became much better, now it’s not scary to leave her with her grandchildren. I used to buy her a Tanakan, but it’s too expensive, and Bilobil Forte costs only 500 rubles for a month.

    This Bilobil Forte is good. Ginkoum Evalarsky also seems to be made from the same plant, but it’s kind of weak. The effect of Bilobil is visible already in the second week. My limbs went wildly numb. There's something wrong with the blood circulation. I took 2 capsules a day for a month – oh, that’s another matter. I don't feel any numbness at all. In general, I took it for 3 months. The price suits me too - 600 rubles for 60 capsules.

30. Anna Boyko

    There is also a very cool analogue - ginkum. Its main advantage is that it is a medicine, not a dietary supplement, although the composition is also natural. I was very pleased

"Bilobil" for stroke

The main problem of stroke is due to the fact that it occurs against the background of an already existing set of chronic vascular diseases that threaten a person’s health and life, and can also affect his normal functioning. It is important to understand here that it is impossible to completely eliminate the consequences of a stroke, so constant support of the vascular system is required.

The main problems people face after a stroke are:

• disruption of normal blood circulation caused by narrowing of blood vessels;
• increased blood viscosity;
• reduction in the thickness of blood vessels;
• increased swelling;
• disruption of the normal functioning of the immune system and faster aging;
• a significant increase in cholesterol levels in the blood;
• disturbance of brain activity;
• emotional depression, which can develop into depression.

If a person who has suffered a stroke is diagnosed with at least three of the problems listed above, then they need to go to the hospital as soon as possible to undergo an examination and draw up a treatment program. Most often, Bilobil is prescribed, the action of which is aimed at normalizing the functioning of the brain and improving its blood circulation.

Elderly people are at increased risk, but every year more and more young people suffer from stroke. Medical statistics show that every fifth person who has had a stroke is under 55 years of age.
