Product description
Common use
Vinpocetine is a synthetic compound derived from the periwinkle plant, used primarily as a nootropic supplement to enhance cognitive function, memory, and focus. It is widely used to improve blood circulation to the brain, treat cerebrovascular diseases, aid in stroke recovery, and manage dementia. Vinpocetine is also used to enhance memory and increase brain metabolism.
Dosage and direction
It is generally taken as oral tablets. It is recommended to take vinpocetine after meals, as this can improve its bioavailability. For best results, it is often used regularly over a sustained period, as effects may take weeks to months to become apparent. Use between 5 and 30 mg vinpocetine given up to 3 times daily.
