Winpostin Pharmaceutical Information
Winpostin is a handmade chemical that is similar to the substance in Vinca minor, which has medicinal properties and is used by people as a medicine.
Some scientists believe that vinpostine increases blood flow to the brain, which is why this supplement is useful for boosting memory and preventing Alzheimer's disease and other diseases that impair learning, memory and information processing skills.
Winpostin is also used to prevent and reduce disability and death from ischemic stroke (mild and transient). This type of stroke occurs when a blood clot or fat clogs a blood vessel and blocks blood flow to the brain, causing brain cells (neurons) to die because they do not receive oxygen.
