HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vinpurazine by Health Concerns

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Vinpurazine contains 3 active ingredients delivered in a proprietary blend format. The blend includes vinpocetine, a compound derived from the periwinkle plant that's meant to support blood flow to the brain; rosemary leaf extract, used traditionally for memory and cognitive function; and club moss extract, an herb with a long history in traditional medicine, though modern safety data on it is limited.

The tablet also contains inactive ingredients—vegetable gum, silicon dioxide, stearic acid, and cellulose—that serve as binders and flow agents to hold the tablet together and help it dissolve.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Memory and cognitive support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related cognitive decline, Memory, Mental alertness, Dementia, Stroke, Brain blood flow — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Rosemary is rated "Possibly Effective" for Memory (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vinpocetine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Dementia.
  • Also on file: Rosemary is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related cognitive decline, Mental alertness.

Vinpocetine is possibly effective for dementia, meaning some evidence supports its use, though the research isn't conclusive. Rosemary leaf extract is possibly effective for memory.

The other uses listed—tinnitus, motion sickness, stroke recovery, and chronic fatigue syndrome for vinpocetine, and age-related cognitive decline, alopecia areata, and fatty liver disease for rosemary—have insufficient reliable evidence in our data. Club moss extract has no effectiveness ratings on file.

If you're considering this product for a specific condition, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the evidence supports it for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vinpocetine Rosemary Clubmoss

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Vinpocetine is generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety hasn't been established. The most common side effects reported are anxiety, dizziness, headache, flushing, stomach discomfort, sleep problems, and hives.

Rarely, serious effects like changes in heart rhythm and seizures have been reported. Rosemary leaf extract in normal food amounts is safe, though concentrated extracts require caution.

Club moss contains toxic alkaloids and has very limited safety data, so caution is warranted—additionally, it can be mistaken for a similar plant (fir club moss) that caused serious poisoning when ingested by mistake. During pregnancy, the safety data advises against vinpocetine.

Rosemary and club moss should be avoided in medicinal or large doses during pregnancy because there isn't enough safety data. For breastfeeding, there isn't enough information on any of these three ingredients, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you're nursing.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Clubmoss, Rosemary, Vinpocetine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 607 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking Vinpurazine, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel)—the Moderate-severity risk of increased bleeding applies to vinpocetine and rosemary. If you take diabetes medications, anticholinergic drugs (for Parkinson's or overactive bladder), or acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (like donepezil for Alzheimer's), also confirm it's safe, as rosemary may lower blood sugar and club moss may interfere with how these drugs work.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Vinpurazine may be worth considering if you're interested in supporting memory or brain blood flow and have confirmed with your doctor that it's appropriate for you—but only if you don't take blood thinners, diabetes drugs, certain heart or Parkinson's medications, or aspirin-like pain relievers, because the risks of interactions are real. Pregnant people and those breastfeeding should not use it.

Talk with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting to make sure it won't interfere with your medications or health situation.

Rosemary leaf extract6 drug types · 372 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, rosemary may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that rosemary inhibits platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking rosemary with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research shows that rosemary extract can decrease blood glucose levels in diabetic models. However, research in humans is conflicting. Although rosemary powder decreased blood glucose levels in healthy adults, no change in blood glucose levels was seen in adults with type 2 diabetes, most of whom were taking antidiabetes drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Aspirin

Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as aspirin.
Rosemary is reported to contain salicylates.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Choline Magnesium Trisalicylate (Trilisate)

Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as choline magnesium trisalicylate.
Rosemary is reported to contain salicylate.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Salsalate (Disalcid)

Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as salsalate.
Rosemary is reported to contain salicylate.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, rosemary might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that rosemary induces CYP1A2 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Rosemary leaf extract full monograph & interactions

Club Moss extract3 drug types · 219 drugs

Acetylcholinesterase (Ache) Inhibitors

Evidence from in vitro research suggests that clubmoss extract can inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity. Theoretically, concurrent use of clubmoss with other acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors might have additive effects and increase the risk of cholinergic side effects. AChE inhibitors and cholinergic drugs include bethanechol (Urecholine), donepezil (Aricept), echothiophate (Phospholine Iodide), edrophonium (Enlon, Reversol, Tensilon), neostigmine (Prostigmin), physostigmine (Antilirium), pyridostigmine (Mestinon, Regonol), succinylcholine (Anectine, Quelicin), and tacrine (Cognex).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Anticholinergic Drugs

Evidence from in vitro research suggests that clubmoss extract can inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity. Theoretically, concurrent use of anticholinergic drugs and clubmoss might decrease the effectiveness of club moss or the anticholinergic agent. Some anticholinergic drugs include atropine, benztropine (Cogentin), biperiden (Akineton), procyclidine (Kemadrin), and trihexyphenidyl (Artane).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cholinergic Drugs

Evidence from in vitro research suggests that clubmoss extract can inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity. Theoretically, concurrent use of clubmoss with other cholinergic drugs might have additive effects and increase the risk of cholinergic side effects. AChE inhibitors and cholinergic drugs include bethanechol (Urecholine), donepezil (Aricept), echothiophate (Phospholine Iodide), edrophonium (Enlon, Reversol, Tensilon), neostigmine (Prostigmin), physostigmine (Antilirium), pyridostigmine (Mestinon, Regonol), succinylcholine (Anectine, Quelicin), and tacrine (Cognex).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Club Moss extract full monograph & interactions

Vinpocetine3 drug types · 208 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Vinpocetine might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Clinical research shows that vinpocetine decreases red blood cell aggregation, as well as plasma and whole blood viscosity. This effect has been seen with intravenous vinpocetine 1 mg/kg and oral vinpocetine 30 mg daily. Vinpocetine also seems to have antiplatelet effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, vinpocetine might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
In vitro research shows that vinpocetine weakly inhibits CYP2C9. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Vinpocetine might modestly increase the risk of bleeding when taken with warfarin.
Clinical research shows that the combination of warfarin and vinpocetine leads to slight increases in prothrombin time and the area under the concentration curve for warfarin. However, these increases were small, and researchers suggest that this interaction is not likely to be clinically significant in most patients.

Vinpurazine by Health Concerns: Common Questions

Does Vinpurazine by Health Concerns interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vinpurazine has a known interaction with 607 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Vinpurazine contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is vinpocetine supposed to do?
Vinpocetine is a compound meant to improve blood flow to the brain. It's possibly effective for dementia according to the evidence we have, though research is ongoing.
Is rosemary leaf extract the same as rosemary you cook with?
This product contains a concentrated rosemary leaf extract, which is much stronger than the culinary herb. Food amounts of rosemary are safe, but medicinal-dose extracts like this one should be avoided during pregnancy and require caution in general.
What is club moss extract and why is it in here?
Club moss is a traditional herb believed to support brain function, but it contains toxic alkaloids and safety data is very limited. There's also a real risk it could be confused with a similar plant (fir club moss) that caused serious poisoning in rare cases when people mistakenly used it.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Vinpocetine is not safe in pregnancy. Rosemary and club moss should be avoided in medicinal doses during pregnancy, and none of these ingredients have enough safety data for breastfeeding—talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Are there any common side effects I should know about?
The most common side effects reported with vinpocetine are dizziness, headache, anxiety, sleep problems, and stomach discomfort. Serious side effects like heart rhythm changes are rare. Rosemary can occasionally trigger allergic reactions or asthma in sensitive people.
How long can I safely take this product?
Short-term use of vinpocetine appears well tolerated, but long-term safety hasn't been established. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about how long it's reasonable to use this product in your situation.
