Why are ginkgo biloba and glycine combined in one capsule? Wouldn't it be simpler to take them separately? — Fortex forte ginkgo-glycine capsules N30 452mg – Forteks

Ginkgo biloba and glycine act in different but interrelated directions, so combining them in one formula makes sense rather than being excessive.

Ginkgo biloba extract contains flavone glycosides, natural antioxidants that help cells cope with oxidative stress, which increases with intense loads and with age. Ginkgo is traditionally included in supplements linked to microcirculation: the flow of blood through small vessels, on which the supply of oxygen and nutrients to tissues depends.

Glycine is an amino acid involved in the work of the nervous system. It is chosen as a gentle component for a more even emotional background and a reduced sense of inner tension, and to help you relax more easily.

Together they cover several aspects relevant to mental workload at once: vascular, antioxidant and neuro-regulatory. Taking them separately is technically possible, but it would require choosing two different supplements and controlling the doses yourself.

If you take medicines that affect blood clotting or have chronic diseases, consult a specialist before starting.
