Vinpocetine  20 mg.

Supports cognitive function and cerebrovascular health

*Vinpocetine is an alkaloid synthesized from vincamine, a natural compound  extracted from the leaves of periwinkle (Vinca minor L) which was first  developed in Europe over 20 years ago. Vinpocetine is absorbed in the  small intestine and then processed in the liver. Once in systemic circulation,  vinpocetine is absorbed by most tissues in the body and crosses the blood  brain barrier. Vinpocetine enhances healthy cerebrovascular blood flow,  possibly by supporting cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase activity, allowing  for healthy oxygen distribution to cells. Vinpocetine may also support  oxygen release from hemoglobin, providing cells easier access to the  oxygen they need. Furthermore, studies have reported that vinpocetine  may provide neuroprotection via its antioxidant properties. In a double  blind placebo-controlled clinical trial, 84 elderly subjects were given  vinpocetine or a placebo over a period of 90 days. Results indicated  that those supplementing with vinpocetine experienced positive cognitive  function. An additional placebo-controlled, randomized, double blind,  multicenter trial of 203 individuals suggeste
