 PhysioLogics
was the first to offer vinpocetine in the United
States. Vinpocetine is a derivative of vincamine,
extracted from the seeds of the periwinkle
plant. Hundreds of scientific studies have been
conducted in Europe examining the effects of
vinpocetine on the body. Recently, in the United
States, scientists have begun to explore the
powerful effects of this nutrient. Studies show
that vinpocetine can enhance circulation by
promoting healthy, open blood vessels, and that
vinpocetine's effect may be particularly
beneficial for invigorating cerebral metabolism.
One double-blind
placebo controlled study, reported in Human
Psychopharmacology, found that those
participants given vinpocetine showed
significant improvement in attention and memory
performance. The vinpocetine group also
demonstrated a healthier mood when compared with
placebo groups.
Research suggests that
vinpocetine increases both brain cell ATP
production and the level of glucose and oxygen
uptake in the brain. It may also increase the
level of oxygenation within brain cells,
invigorating and increasing the life and energy
within every cell. Vinpocetine also helps ease
the smooth muscles of the vascular wall,
increasing blood flow throughout the vascular
system. This effect promotes blood flow,
particularly to the brain and retinal arteries,
enhancing brain metabolism and eye health.
Preliminary research also suggests that
vinpocetine can facilitate the removal of
deposits of calcium, aluminum, and phosphorus
within the central nervous system, liver, and
kidneys. Free radicals can also increase in the
presence of these elements and act as chronic
irritants to blood vessel walls and cell
membranes. Researchers postulate that
vinpocetine can help remove these irritants and
thereby support cardiovascular health.
