Lotte's Functional Chewing Gum is Touted for Its Memory-Enhancing Benefits

— September 26, 2017 — Lifestyle
Lotte introduced a functional chewing gum product that will do more than just freshen one's breath. The product boasts ginkgo biloba extract as a key ingredient, which is known for its memory-enhancing properties. Ginkgo biloba extract has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years and now, modern science is finding that it may play a part in reducing the risk for dementia and Alzheimer's.

The 'Memory Maintaining Type' chewing gum is available in both pellet and stick varieties, offering a helpful way for busy consumers to boost their brains on the go.

A heightened demand for snacks and confections with functional benefits has called for the creation of everything from chewing gums that support metabolic health to candies that double as one's daily vitamins.
