Abstract

Traditionally, for the treatment of cognitive deficits neurologists prescribed nootropics. In order to achieve greater effect, the combination of several drugs (nootrop + vitamin and mineral complex) with different mechanisms of action, exhibiting a synergy of action was rightfully chosen. Complexes of vitamins B and C, macro - and micronutrients (calcium, magnesium, zinc), as well as folic acid, are part of the vitamin-mineral complexes, have an activating effect, exerting a positive influence on cognitive function and symptoms such as fatigue, change emotional background of mood, increased sensitivity to stress and anxiety.
