Interesting, but: Vinpocetine is banned from Australia, New Zealand, and Canada due to potential harmful nootropic characteristics as a cognitive enhancing supplement [1–3]. Although the health benefits of vinpocetine have been proven in scientific studies, more research is needed to define the dosage parameters with respect to benefits and risks of both short- and long-term usage of vinpocetine as a dietary or pharmaceutical supplement [4]. Of primary concern are the negative consequences of long-term usage of vinpocetine and the potential for addiction to this and other nootropic drugs [4–6]. There are currently not enough scientific or clinical studies to support or denounce the claims of vinpocetine as a cognitive enhancer. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5345962/
