VINPO-15 SUPPORTS CEREBRAL METABOLISM.
Originally found in the periwinkle,
Vinpocetine (from Voacanga africana seed) is a phytonutrient with remarkable
brain boosting abilities. Vinpocetine supports brain function by improving
brain metabolism through increasing cerebral microcirculation and the
delivery of glucose and oxygen across the blood-brain barrier, while
increasing ATP synthesis. Studies show Vinpocetine may benefit those
concerned with cognitive enhancement, hearing function, eye health and more.
Does not interact with anticoagulant (“blood thinning”) medications. A good
choice for those who are sensitive to ginkgo. [VEGI-CAPS]

Vinpocetine and Brain Health
To function optimally, the brain needs a steady supply of nutrients,
including glucose for fuel and oxygen with which to burn it, creating
ATP, the cellular energy reserve. Many people rely on Ginkgo biloba to
help ensure the delivery of these nutrients, because it enhances
cerebral micocirculation - the flow of blood into the tiny capillaries
feeding the cells of the brain. But Ginkgo has its limits as
a cognitive-enhancing botanical. It has little impact on the brain
function beyond this one effect, as well Ginkgo cannot be used by
persons taking blood thinning drugs.
A phytonutrient found in the periwinkle (Vinca minor) and originally
developed by the Hungarian pharmaceutical giant Richte transcends these
limitations. Vinpocetine is a true cerebral metabolic enhancer.
While Vinpocetine, like Ginkgo biloba, enhances cerebral
microcirculation, Vinpocetine is especially remarkable in this regard,
as it does so without reducing blood flow elsewhere in the body -
by reducing the resistance of fine blood vessels in the brain.
Vinpocetine also supports brain metabolism by mechanism not related to
its effects on microcirualtion. First, by enhancing red blood cells'
ability to 'flex' their shape so as to more easily cross the blood-brain
barrier ( the layer tight cell-to-cell contacts that protects the brain
from a potentially-toxic environment), Vinpocetine directly supports the
delivery of oxygen to the brain. Additionally, Vinpocetine facilitates
the take-up and release of blood sugar across the blood-brain barrier,
supporting optimal partitioning of fuel supplies.
Food for your Brain!
Although the brain
and nervous system is somewhat protected from factors which can invade other
body cells, its segregation also makes it prone to the build-up of toxins
and other harmful agents. Because it contains a significant amount of fat,
fat-soluble toxins like heavy metals, and environmental chemicals, like DDT,
can concentrate in the brain.
Poor diet hampers the functioning of the central nervous system because it
is an extremely vital area that has high metabolic requirements. The brain
uses only the sugar, glucose, for energy. Unlike other body cells, it
cannot use protein or fat if sugar is unavailable. Everyone has felt the
foggy feeling in your head when your brain is lacking sugar. And then,
after consuming a sugary snack or drink, the temporary increase in alertness
you feel.
Fats, amino acids and
vitamins must also be in abundant supply for nervous system functioning.
The brain and nerve sheaths are made of fats that are deficient in the
standard North American diet. This results in compromised nerve conduction
and brain cell communication. Amino acids are obtained in the diet from
protein and make up neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are nervous system
hormones that coordinate brain cell functions. Several vitamins, especially
B vitamins, are important for the production of neurotransmitters and the
efficiency of nerve transmissions.
Undergo regular
detoxification, under the guidance of a health professional, to rid
the body of toxins. Drink 2L of filtered water daily to help to flush
toxins from the system. Essential fatty acids stabilize the nerve sheath.
Flax, pumpkin and sunflower seed oils should be a daily addition to the
diet. Fish also contain essential fatty acids but are usually contaminated
with heavy metals. Saturated fats from animal sources, margarine and
shortening interfere with the use of essential fatty acids and should be
avoided. Consume foods that are high in lecithin and B vitamins including
green, leafy vegetables, nutritional yeast and soy products. Eat more fibre
and protein, as it helps to stabilize blood sugar.
Memory Enhancement
Memory lapses
affect everyone at some
point in time. They are
frustrating and can become
worrisome if one thinks that
their memory capacity is
decreasing. Although
the brain and nervous system is somewhat protected from factors which can
invade other body cells, its segregation also makes it prone to the build-up
of toxins and other harmful agents. Because it contains a significant amount
of fat, fat-soluble toxins like heavy metals, and environmental chemicals,
like DDT, can concentrate in the brain leading to poor memory.
Poor diet hampers memory because the brain is an extremely vital area that
has high metabolic requirements. The brain
uses only the sugar,
glucose, for energy.
Fluctuating blood sugar is
not conducive to optimal
brain functioning and
memory. Fats, amino acids
and vitamins must also be in
abundant supply for nervous
system functioning. The
brain and nerve sheaths are
made of fats that are
deficient in the standard
North American diet. This
results in compromised nerve
conduction and brain cell
communication, which can
compromise memory. Stress
and emotional upset
impact on memory by depleting neurotransmitters and leading to a build –up
of damaging agents called free radicals. Free radicals have been
associated with the degeneration of the brain. |
