Vinpocetine
Originally, I started taking vinpocetine for concentration and memory, but after a few weeks (taking 1-2 tablets daily) began noticing improvement in several other areas as well. Vinpocetine is purported to have several benefits aside from boosting cerebral metabolism -- the majority of which I personally experienced improvement in. If you have any of the ailments it's said to help, give it a chance.
