This award also recognises the R&D at the origin of the important scientific background supporting the effectiveness of MEMOPHENOL. The improvement of cognitive functions, especially learning and memory, has been clinically proven.
Suitable for a wide audience, from student to senior, MEMOPHENOL provides a body of scientific evidence and differentiating elements, ensuring product credibility and consumer loyalty.
