Brain Flow
Vinpo 15 contains vinpocetine, a compound with potent beneficial effects on the brain and nervous system. One of its most important functions is increasing the delivery of glucose and oxygen across the blood brain barrier. It also increases the production of cellular energy in the brain.
Support and Protection for the Brain
Besides enhancing circulation in the brain, vinpocetine also protects the brain against damage, including oxidative stress and the damage caused by a stroke. It also has the ability to prevent the formation of blood clots, thereby reducing the risk of stroke. Clinical studies have found that vinpocetine supports brain function in stroke victims, in individuals with dementia, and in healthy adults. Further benefits include improved hearing after ear damage and reduced tinnitus. Vipocetine also supports visual health by its effects on circulation in the eye.
Safe and Effective
Vinpocetine provides strong support for the brain and nervous system. Its effects on brain circulation are exerted without affecting blood flow in the rest of the body, and without interacting with blood thinning medications. Vinpo 15 provides a safe and natural extract at an effective dose for the optimal support of cognitive function.
Circulation in the Brain
To function optimally, the brain needs a steady supply of nutrients, including glucose for fuel and oxygen with which to burn it, creating ATP, the cellular energy reserve. Vinpocetine is a phytonutrient found in the periwinkle (Vinca minor), and is a true cerebral metabolic enhancer. Like Ginkgo biloba, the renowned brain support nutrient, Vinpocetine enhances cerebral microcirculation. However, Vinpocetine does so without reducing blood flow elsewhere in the body, by reducing the resistance of fine blood vessels within the brain.
Vinpocetine also supports brain metabolism by mechanisms not related to its effects on microcirculation. First, by enhancing red blood cells’ ability to “flex” their shape so as to more easily cross the blood-brain barrier (the layer of tight cell-to-cell contacts that protects the brain from a potentially-toxic environment), Vinpocetine directly supports the delivery of oxygen to the brain. Additionally, Vinpocetine facilitates the uptake and release of blood sugar across the blood-brain barrier, supporting optimal partitioning of fuel supplies. Vinpocetine also supports optimal brain energy levels.
Protection for the Brain and Nerves
Vinpocetine demonstrates powerful neuroprotective effects. It has been shown to provide protection against the brain damage that follows the cutting off of oxygen and glucose delivery during a stroke, prolonging the survival of both brain cells and the organism as a whole.
These neuroprotective effects can be partly attributed to Vinpocetine’s ability to maintain brain cell metabolism during the ischemic crisis, but also to Vinpocetine’s role as a powerful antioxidant. More recently, research has demonstrated Vinpocetine’s power to regulate the flow of ions across neuron membranes. These ion flows are upset in moments of crisis such as excitotoxicity and during a stroke, and lead to brain cell death. Thus, by regulating sodium channels, and moderating the downstream effects of opened calcium floodgates, Vinpocetine delivers another important mechanism of brain cell protection.
Vinpocetine, like Ginkgo, has a mild anticoagulant effect, which can protect the brain against the formation of killer blood clots, which can cut off circulation in the brain, triggering a stroke. But unlike Ginkgo, Vinpocetine has no clinically significant interactions with “blood-thinning” drugs, making it safe for users of aspirin, warfarin, and other common anticoagulants.
Support for Brain Function
Vinpocetine also has more direct effects on brain function. Most importantly, Vinpocetine facilitates the more permanent storage of information in the brain by stimulating the central cellular mechanism, which forms the basis of learning and memory.
Many clinical trials have demonstrated Vinpocetine’s ability to support brain function. In people suffering from age-related dementias or cognitive deficits following a stroke, Vinpocetine improved cognitive and neurological function on a wide variety of measures, including memory and mental function, neurological symptoms, and overall functional status.
Other Benefits
Vinpocetine may also have important benefits outside of the brain. Studies in persons who have suffered damage to the nerves of the ears after exposure to high-intensity noise levels have reported that Vinpocetine improves hearing and reduces tinnitus, especially if initiated within the first week after trauma.
Vinpocetine also appears to support visual health by improving microcirculation in the eye in the capillaries of the retina itself, the central arteries feeding the retina, and the layer of the eye between the retina and the white outer coat of the eyeball. Vinpocetine was reported to enhance the effectiveness of drugs that lower intraocular pressure in the treatment of glaucoma. Finally, Vinpocetine was reported to remove calcification of the kidneys associated with long-term calcification.
