Using Periwinkle to replace Vinpocetine

[Guest guest]

I have been taking Vinpocetine for about a month (30-60 mg/day). I

decided to add it to my regimen because it is said to enhance memory,

decrease dementia, as well as help with gastric ulcers, epilepsy, tinnitus.

It is also said to have anti-platelet activity. I am considering

switching to taking Periwinkle instead, as is a derivative compound found

in the leaves of the plant.

Applying Ken's strategy of saving money by buying Tumeric bulk and

encapsulating them, I have begun buying organic herbs in bulk so that I can

expand on what I can afford to take. I find that in addition to saving

money, the potency and quality is greatly improved and I notice more

dramatic results. One of the sources I use, guarantees that the herbs have

been cultivated less than three months prior to purchase. So to save

money , I am considering using Perwinkle.

I was wondering what you guys thought regarding using Periwinkle(Vinca

minor) as a substitute for Vinpocetine
