“I've just been trying out Jarrow Vinpocentine, derived from periwinkle. Supports memory, focus and mood, the bottle says. It does enhance mental alacrity and I feel a bit sped up in a pleasant, non chemical, way.”

Vinpocetine for cognitive impairment and dementia

Conclusion: Although the basic science is interesting, the evidence for beneficial effect of vinpocetine on patients with dementia is inconclusive and does not support clinical use. The drug seems to have few adverse effects at the doses used in the studies. Large studies evaluating the use of vinpocetine for people suffering from well defined types of cognitive impairment are needed to explore possible efficacy of this treatment.
