Stroke is the most common neurological cause of permanent incapacity as well as the decisive factor in high mortality. Cerebrovascular disorders occur during the life of many people (especially in older age) due to: brain artery atherosclerosis, thrombosis, cerebral hemorrhage or temporary cerebral circulatory disorders. The active substance vinpocetine improves brain blood flow, reduces the brain cell sensitivity to the lack of oxygen and protects them from the damage. It is essential that, acting on cerebral blood vessels, the active substance does not increase the total blood pressure. It also improves the metabolism in the brain. It has been observed that vinpocetine has a positive effect on cognitive function and improves memory.
