Vinpocetine was first isolated from the Vinca minor plant in 1975 by chemist Csaba Szántay. Gedeon Richter, a Hungarian drug company, began manufacturing Vinpocetine in 1978 under the brand name Cavinton.
Vinpocetine has historically been used in European countries as a way to enhance blood flow to the brain in the treatment of cognitive decline, stroke recovery, and epilepsy.
Many countries, including Japan, Mexico, Russia, and many in Europe, prescribe Vinpocetine for the treatment of cognitive and circulatory brain treatment.
In the United States, we can include Vinpocetine as an over-the-counter supplement and offer it directly to you. Vinpocetine has direct effects on brain blood vessels, brain blood flow, and brain cells themselves. In this way, it enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the brain, as well as possibly preventing the damage that occurs if nutrient delivery is impaired.
Vinpocetine reduces the viscosity, or “stickiness,” of red blood cells and platelets. This allows blood to flow more easily through narrowed vessels, and may help to protect brain tissues in the event of transient loss of blood pressure.
Why does all this matter? If your blood is not flowing properly through your brain, none of the ingredients in our product will work the way they are supposed to. Enhanced blood flow means enhanced results from Grind.
