Vinpocetine

Vinpocetine is a natural enzyme inhibitor (phosphodiesterase type 1), vinpocetine possesses a powerful ability to relax the main artery of the cerebrum, the part of the brain that integrates motor, sensory, and higher mental functions such as thought, reason, emotion, and memory, thereby allowing it to fill with blood in much the same way the popular impotence drug Viagra (phosphodiesterase type 5) acts in   the groin area. To date there have been many chemical, pharmaceutical, and clinical reports published, four of which indicate vinpocetine’s effect upon the four “feel-good” neurotransmitters by increasing noradrenalin production, serotonin release, and acetylcholine concentration.
