According to my dear friend and researcher Ray Sahelian M.D. There have been quite a few studies with Vinpocetine.
Dementia
Researchers at the University of Surrey in Guildford, England administered Vinpocetine to patients suffering from mild to moderate dementia (Hindmarch 1991). Two hundred and three patients included in a placebo-controlled, randomized double-blind trial received every day for sixteen weeks either 10 mg doses of Vinpocetine three times a day, 20 mg doses of Vinpocetine three times a day, or placebo three times a day. There were no clinically relevant side effects reported. Statistically significant cognitive improvements were found in favor of active treatment groups compared to placebo.
In a double blind clinical trial, Vinpocetine was shown to offer significant improvement in elderly patients with chronic cerebral dysfunction. Forty-two patients received 10 mg Vinpocetine three times a day for thirty days, then 5 mg three times a day for sixty days. Matching placebo tablets were given to another forty patients for the ninety-day trial period. Patients on Vinpocetine scored consistently better in all cognitive evaluations. No serious side effects were reported.
Memory
Twelve healthy female volunteers received pre-treatments with Vinpocetine 40 mg three times a day or placebo for two days according to a randomized, double-blind crossover design. On the third day of treatment and one hour following morning dosage, subjects completed a battery of psychological tests. Memory was significantly improved following treatment with Vinpocetine when compared to placebo.
Please take it with food. Vinpocetine 20 mgs, 60 tablets.usual dose 1 per day.
Vinpocetine hasa been shown to protect against oxidative damage from beta amyloid which makes it useful for Alzheimer's disease. It also helps with brain cell electrical conductivity . Another study showed improvement with infants who had neurologic brain damage at birth. Vinpocetine helped with reduction in seizures. Vinpocetine, a cerebral vasodialator can also be effective at dosages of 20-40 mg daily for tinnitus ( ringing in the ear) Those with Vertigo will definately be helped!!!!!
