This review study from 2018 provided updated insights into clinical and preclinical evidence surrounding the therapeutic use of vinpocetine. This updated research study outlines the pluralistic impact of vinpocetine on cerebrovascular function, citing further research of use in “antagonizing inflammation in a variety of cell types, protecting different cells from death during ischemia injuries, and stimulating vasodilation to increase blood flow in diverse tissues.”
