Description
Vinpocetine Product Overview
Vinpocetine (C22H26N2O2) is a white fine crystalline powder that is practically insoluble in water, whereas it dissolves in dilute acids and chloroform. Producers make it from vincamine, an alkaloid obtained from plant sources such as Voacanga seeds.
In addition, in several countries in Europe and Asia, pharmaceutical companies use it as a prescription API in tablets and injections in neurology. However, its status as a food ingredient remains restricted: for example, the US FDA has warned against its use in dietary products, especially for women who are or may become pregnant, and other regulators also limit it.
Buyers must therefore check the regulations in their target market. Zyntex supplies vinpocetine only to licensed pharmaceutical companies. Related neurology APIs in our range also include Citicoline sodium and Piracetam.
