Cognitive Ability

Everybody has about 100 billion brain cells that are interconnected through a complicated communications network. They transport signals and ensure that we can remember names or dates, for example, when we need them. But stress, an improper diet or medication can reduce our cognitive ability. Free radicals can also have a negative impact on our cognitive ability. These aggressive oxygen molecules are released during the normal metabolic process and even more so under stress, pollution or exposure to the sun. They damage and destroy cells. As a result, the brain’s ability suffers. Our body does have its own mechanisms to repair itself but these become less and less with age. Therefore, older people in particular often note that their memory is not what it used to be and they cannot concentrate as well as they used to.

Ginkgo promotes cognitive ability

Less cognitive ability due to age can be prevented in that free radicals are prevented from attacking cells and that they are “contained.” Ginkgo biloba, the scientific name, is one of the most well-known substances to contain these radicals. The contents of the ginkgo leaves hinder free radicals from destroying cells and can even reverse damage.

With the new Ginseng Ginkgo Dragees, tetesept offers a naturally effective drug for preventing reduced cognitive ability and concentration due to age.
