Vinpocetine is a PDE inhibitor - not that PDE of Sildenafil (Viagra) ;-)
Its pharmacological use is not that clear yet - cerebral blood flow is increased. Supplements are often pure waste of money so wIouldnt count on it very much - but try it either !> > Can anyone give me some info on this supplement? Has anyone tried it - experiences? I remember reading about it many years ago and it wasn't available in the U.S. But now I see Nature Made makes it and you can get it at Target. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

> Its a waste of time for any mood or anxiety disorder. It has no mood elevating properties whatsoever. Its another worthless OTC supplement, remember the OTC supplements industry is totally unregulated unlike the drug industry and companies can make all sorts of claims about OTC supplements. And nobody has any authority to stand up to them and make them prove their claims about products are true...as is the case with prescription drugs.

Pay yourself first and dont waste your hard earned money on scam OTC supplements that dont work. Otherwise you just make yourself poorer and the supplements company richer.
