Vinpocetine is an alkaloid that is derived from the periwinkle plant.

It is a cerebral vasolidator, which is a substance that helps expand the brain tissue and hence facilitates blood flow. Due to its work, it is recognized as a cognitive enhancer. Vinpocetine assists to prevent cerebral impaired blood flow and hypoxia, which as a result may lead to dementia later on in life.

Vinpocetine supplements are of proven pharmaceutical quality and are certified pure by the certificate of analysis. They are available in 10 mg vincamine alkaloids (2040) and 90 Vinpocetine capsules. The other ingredient in the supplement is rice flour and vegi capsules. This supplement is gluten free.

It is recommended that you take a half or a third of the capsule once a day or as directed by your health physician. It is advised that you use the 10 mg vinpocetene capsule only if you have tried the smaller amounts and had no side effects. It is always advisable to consult a doctor before you try out any new herbal supplement regime. The vinpocetene supplement can be taken by people of all age groups from young kids who show some cognitive difficulties to memory impairment in old age.
