IS VINPOCETINE THE ANSWER TO BRAIN FOG?

Vinpocetine, a popular European supplement, is now available in

the U.S. This safe supplement may be the answer to your memory,

cognitive and " brain fog " problems, and if it's going to work for you,

you'll find out in 7 to 10 days. Find out more in this interview

Bill,

My personal experience with most of the nootropics is that the answer to

the question in the subject line is vinpocetine improves recall, but it

doesn't do as much for brain fog as piracetam, or even better,

pramiracetam does. I take a pramiracetam every morning. I have for over

a year. I stopped for two months once for a breather, but never again!

We don't notice our cognitive losses bit by bit over the years. But,

when you have them back & lose them in weeks, then you know -- and I'm

never going back there again!

I like vinpocetine, and it has some research showing it is as protective

of eye cells as it is of brain cells. But, it doesn't enhance

cross-brain communication as do the analogs of the pyroglutamate

molecule.

Jim, have you or anyone in this group heard of Methyl-Cobalamin for brain

improvement.

Life Extension sells it. My girlfriend took it for Bells Palsy and it did

help. The claim is to take 1mg for normal maintenance or more if one has

problems.

It is rather expensive.

The company I get it from sells some of the best quality supplements I've

ever seen. I believe that they may be the only company allowed to sell it

here in the USA. -- jp

JP, would you share tie info with the group?

Hi Jim,

Don't you think there's a more " natural, holistic " way of retaining brain

function than a laboratory made drug?

Vinpocetine is not a " prescription " drug, since I sell it in my chiropractic

office. It is not cheap however. The company I get it from sells some of the

best quality supplements I've ever seen. I believe that they may be the only

company allowed to sell it here in the USA. -- jp

,

I never said my philosophy is 'a more " natural, holistic " way.' I

believe in what is most natural that works! Of course there is a better

way than supplements -- any supplements -- FOOD! But, the pyroglutamate

molecule, even in its pharmaceutical form, is still safer than peanuts,

table salt & strawberries. So, I don't worry about taking it as much as

I do the total wreck of my car during the 2 motnhs I stopped taking it.

If you want a non-pharmaceutical form get arginine pyroglutamate. I

think it also comes in a glutamic form.

Vinpocetine is an extract of periwinkle, or vinca, and is no different

than other supplements. I take them, but my number is dwindling as I eat

better. Since I went all raw the number plumeted.

Christel,

Methyl-Cobalamin sounds like a B-vitamin?

Do you call Ginkgo (aka Gingko) a laboratory drug ?

They're both herbal extracts, in their most active forms.
