Secrets of Vinpocetine and How it Can Reduce Brain Cell Loss By Bryan Reese At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Vinpocetine is one of the most powerful memory enhancers. It goes on to facilitate cerebral metabolism through improvement of cerebral microcirculation, i.e. blood flow, thereby having enhanced manufacture of ATP, and increasing the utilization of oxygen and glucose.

The above-mentioned advantages mean that Vinpocetine happens to share several effects of another cognitive enhancers.

Research has proved that Vinpocetine

Compares favorably to vincamine, placebo, DHT (Hydergine), papaverine, xanthinol nicotinate, ifenprodil, difenidol, cyclandelate, niacin, cinnarizine, and meclophenoxate.

Vinpocetine is usually mad use of for treating cerebral circulatory disturbances like dizziness, motor disorders, inability in terms of coordinating movements, i.e. apraxia, loss of power with regards to expression, acute stroke, memory disorders, and many other inner-ears, i.e. cerebro-vestibular problems, inclusive of headache. Vinpocetine has also been used for treating chronic or acute ophthalmologic diseases corresponding to various origins, with the visual acuity getting improved in around 70% of subjects. The other use of Vinpocetine is that in curing sensorineural hearing problem.

Hungary’s Gedeon Richter company goes on to market Vinpocetine in the form of Cavinton, that too, in the European continent. They have gone ahead with funding >100 studies with regards to Vinpocetine, generally having compared effects of it with the other smart nutrients and smart drugs. Incidence of occurrence of side-effects in the human beings making use of Vinpocetine orally has been reported to be usually < 1% of participants of a study, with unwanted effects generally having disappeared with the continuous use.

One of the series of the studies conducted by Gedeon Richter indulged 882 patients suffering from neurological disorders which range between stroke and cerebral insufficiency. Spectacular improvements were reported to be found in around 62% of patients. In some studies, patients suffering from cerebral insufficiency had been asked of memorizing list consisting of ten words. Without this drug, i.e. Vinpocetine, subjects could memorize six words on an average. However, after one month pertaining to treatment, average went upto around 10 words.

Gedeon Richter has promoted Vinpocetine in the form of the sole compound which enhances cerebral metabolism, i.e. uptake of oxygen and glucose, deficient oxygenation of blood, i.e. hypoxia, serotonin and norepinephrine turnover, concentration of adenosine triphosphate, i.e. ATP, and last, but not the least, cerebral microcirculation.

Gedeon Richter has also claimed that Vinpocetine increases flow of blood (to brain) in a selective manner, thereby enhancing the blood flow to impaired area, that too, without having lowered flow of blood to the other body parts.

As if Vinpocetine’s medical uses weren’t amazing enough; under a ‘double-blind crossover study’ conducted, the healthy volunteers went on to show unbelievable improvement in terms of short-term memory, after taking 40 milligrams of Vinpocetine (an hour later). These volunteers went ahead for taking computer-administered memory test (short-term) known as ‘Sternberg Memory Scanning Test’.

The volunteers, i.e. women between ages twenty-five and forty were shown 1 to 3 digits on computer screen. Thereafter, they were shown huge string of the digits. Volunteers then depicted whether any of first digits went on to appear in 2nd long string. Time taken by volunteer to have remembered was accessed then. Women took around 700 milliseconds on an average to respond. This was the result on placebo. However, with Vinpocetine these women went on to average within the average time span of < 450 seconds.
