Increases Memory, Mental Focus, And Blood Flow To The Brain.

What is it and where does it come from?

Vincamine is found in the leaves of Vinca minor (lesser periwinkle) plant, and is a precursor to vinpocetine - potent herb that has many positive effects on the brain and body.

What does it do and what scientific studies give evidence to support this?

The benefits observed from vincamine supplementation are attributable to the substance to which it converts in the body: vinpocetine.

Vinpocetine supports healthy blood circulation1,2 and oxygen flow to the brain.3,4

Vinpocetine is a powerful antioxidant6 and it also enhances the delivery of glucose to the brain.7 Glucose is the brains primary fuel source, and without it the brain will shut-down.

Not surprisingly, athletes who supplement with vincamine report significant improvement in visual acuity, memory and focus. Vincamine supports the brain and maintains its function.

Athletes also report that vincamine is extremely thermogenic. It causes rapid losses in bodyfat, and it accomplishes this by stimulating the release of the hormone norepinephine. It is, not surprisingly, a popular ingredient in over-the-counter weight loss supplements.

Who needs it and what are some symptoms of deficiency?

Vincamine supplementation can prove incredibly efficacious for athletes and bodybuilders who need to be lean and focused for competition.

No physiological requirement exists, and there are no symptoms of deficiency.

How much should be taken? Are there any side effects?

Strictly adhere to label dosing guidelines.

Vincamine administration is most effective when the product is taken with food.14

Side-effects are rare, and clinical research has demonstrated that few adverse side-effects were noted at the dosages used during study.15,16

Side-effects are reported only at very high doses and can include blood thinning.17

Although research has shown that vincamine does not interact with blood medications18, persons with blood or blood-related disorders should consult their physician prior to vincamine supplementation.
