Vinpocetine

Vinpocetine regulates levels of circulating TLRs in Parkinson's disease patients 2018 https://sci-hub.se/10.1007/s10072-018-3592-y
I get 30 mg capsules from Swanson and take one a day with food.
Per this article: https://nootropicsexpert.com/vinpocetine/
Vinpocetine helps:
• Cerebral Circulation. Vinpocetine helps boost blood flow to and within the brain. Improving the flow of oxygen and glucose that feed ATP to power brain cells. Improving alertness, cognition, concentration, memory and mood.
• Neuroprotectant. Vinpocetine blocks the accumulation of sodium in neurons, reduces the toxic effects of oxidative stress, inhibits the enzyme PDE1 and boosting blood flow, scavenges free radicals, and protects neurons from glutamate and NMDA toxicity.
• Neuroplasticity. Vinpocetine inhibits the enzyme PDE1 which can increase cAMP and cGMP. These cyclic nucleotides in turn activate a series of kinases that phosphorylate the transcription factors cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) and serum response factor (SRF), leading to the expression of plasticity-related genes.[iii] Boosting neuroplasticity enhances cognition and memory.

Special Precautions and Warnings: https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-175/vinpocetine
• Pregnancy: Vinpocetine is possibly unsafe when used during pregnancy or by those who may become pregnant. Vinpocetine might increase the risk of miscarriage and might cause harm to the fetus. Avoid using.
• Breast-feeding: There isn't enough reliable information to know if vinpocetine is safe to use when breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
• Bleeding disorders: Vinpocetine might increase the risk of bleeding. Use cautiously if you have a bleeding disorder.
• Weakened immune system: Vinpocetine might weaken the immune system in some people. This might reduce the body's ability to fight infections. If you already have a weakened immune system, check with your healthcare provider before using vinpocetine.
• Surgery: Vinpocetine might slow blood clotting. This might increase the risk of bleeding during and after surgery. Stop using vinpocetine at least 2 weeks before you are scheduled for surgery.
