Vinpocetine is an herbal supplement used to treat thinking and memory problems,

such as Alzheimer's disease.

Other names for Vinpocetine include: Ethyl apovincaminate, Ethyl

apovincaminoate, and vinca minor.

Vinpocetine is a derivative of Vincamine. It facilitates cerebral metabolism by

improving blood flow to the brain, boosting brain cell ATP production, and

increasing utilization of glucose and oxygen by neurons. Vinpocetine increases

the production of Noradrenaline and Dopamine, contributing, in this way, to the

release of Serotonin and the concentration of Acetylcholine. Research has shown

that the effects of this compound go beyond mere prevention and turn it into a

Powerful Memory Enhancer.

Vincamine is a purified extract of Vinca Minor L (Periwinkle plant). Used as a

cerebral vasodilator for enhancing mental alertness, it increases blood flow to

the brain and improves its oxygenation. The original use of the plant goes back

to European traditional home remedies. This herb is well known and widely used

in popular medicine as an important component in herbal teas against nervousness

in the elderly suffering from insomnia, anxiety and aggressiveness.

Vinpocetine, a powerful cognitive enhancer presently in use in over 35 countries

around the world. As clinical studies have shown, Vinpocetine helps maintain

healthy circulation in the brain and accelerates cerebral metabolism.

Vinpocetine also aids memory, increasing the concentration of certain

neurotransmitters involved in memory formation, such as dopamine, noradrenaline,

serotonine, and acetylcholine. By expanding the brain's blood vessels and

optimizing the blood flow, Vinpocetine improves the brain's access to oxygen and

other essential nutrients thus, maximizing mental performance.
