Pantogam-active Reviews
Jane, 36 years, "Pantogam-active" - Superior Pantogam.Now I'm cutting the ordinary course Pantogam, too, from Crest Farm.
Prior to that, in the hospital gave me Pantogam Plus. It is better to have what is contained in the capsules. It is easier and more enjoyable to take.
How much better it is usual drug - a judge pharmacists and doctors. I just do not have time to sit and calculate and deduct the entire benefit of the drug.
The fact is, what it is to take the drug. What was he going in the complex. From this and it depends on its efficacy. So I told the doctor and I quite liked the answer from. As I felt myself improving concentration and memory performance (both physical and mental), increased at times.
Vladislava, 33 years, Pantogam Active - accelerates brain.Hello! In this review I will tell you about nootropics Pantogam assets.Packing 300 mg. The package of 60 capsules. I took the drug three times a day for one tablet. The effect does not come as quickly as we would like: after 3 weeks of treatment. The effect was expressed in enhancing efficiency, improve thinking and memory, increased concentration. I began to pour and easy to wake up in the morning, the whole day was in the waking state, the head throughout the day was fresh, thinking speed increased. Anxiolytic effect Pantogam I, unfortunately, did not find. Action Pantogam Asset amplified at reception for 15 minutes before the glycine sublingually. Manifestations of adverse effects on myself, I have not noticed. Soon I am going to drink again. Unlike Pantogam, which is suitable for children, Active Pantogam are more suitable for adults. Course admission preaparata is 1-4 months, then 3-6 months can repeat dosing. In preparation like the fact that there is practically no contraindications and side effects are not as pronounced and generally not occur. It should also be noted that the drug should be used in the morning and afternoon hours. This is one of the few neuroprotective agents, which gave me almost everything, except for the long term existence of the effect.
