Virtiva®

Virtiva® is a Ginkgo biloba-phosphatidylserine complex exploiting the synergy between its two nootropic agents (ginkgo and phosphatidylserine). Due to its unique phytosome-like molecular structure, Virtiva® is designed to improve absorption and bioavailability of Ginkgo biloba active constituents (ginkgo terpenoids and flavonoids).
Both Ginkgo biloba extract(1-3) and phosphatidylserine(4-5)  have been traditionally used to improve mental functions in young and older adults, following chronic administration.

Virtiva® has demonstrated acute benefits by clinically improving accuracy of memory and speed of memory task performance over the 6 hours following a single administration in young adults
(6)

Virtiva® can be used to significantly improve mental capacity and endurance, prevent mental fatigue, and improve retention of information.
