{"product_id":"vinpocetine-10-mg","title":"Vinpocetine 10 mg","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe lesser periwinkle, \u003cem\u003eVinca minor\u003c\/em\u003e, is the low evergreen groundcover that spreads across shaded European gardens and old churchyards, blue-flowered and largely ignored. It contains an alkaloid called vincamine. In the 1970s, Hungarian chemists at Richter Gedeon modified that alkaloid slightly and produced vinpocetine — a semi-synthetic derivative, more stable and better absorbed than the parent compound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinpocetine\u003c\/strong\u003e supplies 10 mg per capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts mechanism is unusually specific for a supplement. Vinpocetine inhibits phosphodiesterase-1, the enzyme that degrades cyclic GMP in vascular smooth muscle. Cyclic GMP is the signal that tells a vessel wall to relax. The result is support for normal cerebral blood flow — the delivery of oxygen and glucose to brain tissue, which has no capacity to store either and depends entirely on continuous supply. Vinpocetine also plays a role in normal neuronal glucose and ATP metabolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is used to support healthy memory, normal concentration, and normal cerebral circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it acts on vascular tone, those taking anticoagulant medication or managing blood pressure should speak with their physician first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHypoallergenic, with no diluents, binders, or fillers.
