Vinpocetine

Vinpocetine is a derivative of Vincamine, which is extracted from the Periwinkle plant ( Vinca Minor, Vinca Pervinca ). Research suggests that Vinpocetine helps to maintain healthy blood circulation in the brain and supports certain neurotransmitters in the memory process.  Vinpocetine supports and protects brain blood vessel health and aids mental function.

Vinpocetine is a biosynthetic supplement derived from alkaloid found in the Periwinkle plant called Vinca minor.

 Function:

1) Vinpocetine is chemically related to, and derived from vincamine, an alkaloid found in the periwinkle plant.
2) It was introduced into clinical practice in Europe more than two decades ago for its role in cerebrovascular
disorders and related symptoms.
3) Experiments with this periwinkle extract indicate that it can dilate blood vessels, cross the blood-brain
barrier, enhance circulation in the brain, improve oxygen utilization, make red blood cells more pliable, and
inhibit aggregation of platelets.
4) Vinpocetine even has antioxidant properties. Levels peak in the bloodstream within an hour and a half
after ingestion.
