Guest guest Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Hi Valentina, I got some information from you before Xmas on Vinpocetine, I then went through our local chemist to order some - (New Zealand) and it proved to be very difficult and expensive, so hence I didn't order it, can you tell me where you order yours from - i.e the brand etc, the name and the amounts you give, we are keen to try this, and so will order via the internet. Can you also tell me how it is going, if you are continuing to see benefits from this product. Thanks Cheers H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs around $7-8... If you want to, I can send you some. Just let me know your address. > and the amounts you give, I gave my son when we started 5mg 3 times a day (so 15mg a day). Everybody else thinks this is too high. It worked for Denis After about a month or so I decreased the dose. I only give him now 2,5mg 3 times a day. > Can you also tell me how it is going, if you are continuing to see benefits from this product. I never stopped it, so I can't tell anymore if Denis' amazing progresses in the last few months are only because of Vinpocetine or from something else too (we added other supplements in the meantime), but I am pretty sure Vinpocetine has a lot to do with it. The areas that improved when we added Vinpocetine are better and better every day. So... if you want to try it... just let me know your address. I can send you some. No problem.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 > What exactly does it do? And/or what is it? Vinpocetine is a supplement. It is used to improve oxygenation of the brain and blood flow, mostly, but from this come many other benefits. My son started to hear better with Vinpocetine, and so - to speak (finally!), his attention improved, his fine motor skills - amazing!, his mood, he became so obviously intelligent that sometimes I simply cannot believe it. It is almost scary. I have no idea if Vinpocetine alone did these. I give him so many supplements... I can't even count them anymore. I guess once his brain was given more oxygen, more glucose, more whatever was needed, it just started to work better in the right direction. But what Vinpocetine improved for sure (really fast) was hearing, fine motor skills, aphasia (he finally gets the language " thing " !). I tried Vinpocetine too, but it didn't work for me. Andy Cutler has in his book some comments about people who will not have success with Vinpocetine. If you're interested, I can write them...

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 > I would love to hear about this... my son takes DMG with great results... wondering if this will work also Ok, here it goes: (I will also include his comments about what Vinpocetine is) " Vinpocetine - an extract of periwinkle - 15mg/d - is used to improve memory and cognitive function and increase brain function and blood flow. It raises cyclic GMP by inhibiting the enzyme which degrades that. Vinpocetine is known to prevent and reverse neurological damage caused by aging, and to assist in healing some closed skull brain injuries. It makes you more aware, alert, able to concentrate, and brightens you emotionally. It increases turnover of the neurotransmitters serotonin and noradrenalin. It also helps alleviate phenomena like hot flashes that occur during menopause. Migraines are due to excessive blood flow caused by increased blood flow to the front part of the brain caused by extra cGMP so vinpocetine may aggravate them. Typical dosage is 5mg three times per day. Substantially impaired patients often experience greater relief if started on 10mg three times per day for 30 days and then switch over to 5mg three times per day. Vinpocetine can have some heart side effects such as arrythmias. People who have all three of the following symptoms may have too much cGMP and should avoid Vinpocetine or take it gingerly: migraines, changes in color perception, easy engorgement of the genital tissues. " Hope this helps in taking the decision Valentina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
