Although the periwinkle plant may be best known for its pink and purple garden flowers – which is why periwinkle is the name of a color – it is also the source of vincamine, an alkaloid, from which the memory- and cognition-supporting ingredient vinpocetine is derived.

Vinpocetine is known to encourage optimal brain blood supply, support the ability to retain and recall information, help maintain concentration and support oxygen & glucose use by the brain.^1-4
