Vinpocetine is a modified compound first isolated from the periwinkle (Vinca minor) that helps support brain function and cognitive health. Like the well-known Ginkgo biloba, vinpocetine promotes blood flow, transporting oxygen and nutrients to the brain. Unlike ginkgo, it does this without reducing blood flow elsewhere in the body. Studies on damaged red blood cells and neurons demonstrate that vinpocetine directly increases ATP (adenosine triphosphate) levels in these cells, promoting optimal brain energy levels. Furthermore, vinpocetine's blood-thinning effects are much less potent than those of ginkgo, making it a much safer compound. One study showed that vinpocetine helps reduce tinnitus and hearing loss after exposure to loud noises, and this study suggests it may also improve blood flow to the eyes.
Vinpo-15 is an excellent alternative for people who want to benefit from the benefits of Ginkgo biloba but are concerned about its blood-thinning effects. Vinpo-15 is a good choice for people looking for support for their memory and brain function as they age, as well as those with a family history of stroke. Vinpo-15 can also improve eye health and tinnitus.
AOR's Vinpo-15 provides a clinically effective dose of vinpocetine to help improve brain function.
