Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that leads to memory loss, confusion, and difficulty in thinking and performing daily tasks. Encephabol 100 Tablet helps by improving brain metabolism and improving communication between nerve cells. This supports better memory, focus, and overall cognitive function, which can help manage the symptoms and slow progression of the disease.
In Stroke
A stroke happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted, causing brain cells to die. This can result in sudden weakness, speech difficulties, and memory problems. Encephabol 100 Tablet aids in stroke recovery by improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain. This promotes healing of nerve tissues and helps restore mental alertness, coordination, and memory function.
In Dementia in Parkinson's disease
In some people with Parkinson’s disease, dementia can develop as the condition progresses, leading to memory loss and trouble thinking clearly. Encephabol 100 Tablet works to support brain function by improving nerve activity and protecting against further damage. This helps reduce confusion and enhances attention, reasoning, and day-to-day functioning.
In Age related memory loss
As people age, they may notice mild memory lapses such as forgetting names or appointments. This age-related memory decline is normal but can be distressing. Encephabol 100 Tablet helps boost brain energy and nerve signaling, which can improve memory sharpness, concentration, and mental clarity in older adults.
In Head injury

Parkinsonism is Disorder of motor activity characterised by slowness of movement and stiffness. Memory loss is a consequence of dementia. Both can occur together. Dementia involves damage of nerve cells in the brain, which can occur in several areas of the brain. Dementia affects people differently, depending on the area of the brain affected. Most types of dementia can't be cured, but there are ways to manage the behavioural symptoms. A neurological and psychiatric evaluation is required to make a rehabilitation plan for such patients.
