It sounds like brainQUICKEN creates a normal state of vital energy for the brain... I have been in really high states of vital energy, I'm not sure of how to control it, but it's a greater chance to get it when fasting light, or eating light. I want no addicting drug, & I wonders if there are better non-addictive drugs?

BrainQuicken is a cheap formula that does not disclose the amounts of their compounds. I would avoid at all cost.

from the web I found the following:-

BrainQuicken says that its product is a select group of compounds proven safe in the food supply over a 10-year period.

The main ingredient is the Proprietary Cognamine Complex (including components of: Phosphatidylserine, Choline Bitartrate, Vinpocetine, Salix Alba, Thioctic Acid, L-Tyrosine, Ciwujia, and other synergistic compounds). Other ingredients are water-soluble vitamins (B-12, B-4) and plant extracts.

Vinpocetine was claimed to increase cerebral blood flow in the ischaemia affected area of patients with cerebrovascular disease (Tamaki et al.., 1985) and increase red blood cell deformability in stroke patients (Hayakawa 1992). Using a pilot single-blind control, 30 stroke patients were either treated with low-molecular dextran alone or in combonation with vinpocetine for a 7 month period (Feign et al., 1999). Medication was started immediately within 3 days of stroke onset. Other co-medications, including 20% mannitol was given randomly. Stroke measurements were given at 1 and 3 months of follow-up. They measured disability and other tests. No adverse effects of vinpocetine treatment were recorded. There were also no significant changes in blood pressure between the two groups. Two patients died in the vinpocetine group and one patient died in the control group, all within the first month of follow-up. Ischaemic stroke was found to be the cause of the deaths. Results showed that vinpocetine in acute ischaemic stroke is safe.

Vinpocetine, nootropic for the brain, is an alkaloid obtained from the Crioceras Longiflorus, an African plant that has been biotechnologically reproduced by means of state-of-the-art tissue culture techniques
