Cyvex Nutrition, Irvine, CA, has entered into a research and development partnership with the Salk Institute for Biological Studies to examine the effects of vinpocetine (as BioVinca from Cyvex Nutrition) and fisetin, separately and in combination, on cognitive function.

Three in vitro assays relevant to cognitive function and memory will be conducted to determine if these compounds work synergistically and if further testing is warranted.

BioVinca, a proprietary extract of the periwinkle plant, has been shown to support brain functions such as concentration and memory due to its overall neuroprotective properties, as well as its ability to enhance cerebral blood flow. Fisetin, a naturally occurring flavonoid found in strawberries and other fruits and vegetables, has been shown to stimulate the signaling pathways that enhance long-term memory. Cyvex will supply both compounds for testing.

“We are continually strengthening the research portfolio of our ingredient offerings, as well as identifying efficacious new compounds to help manage health conditions of concern to our customers,” stated Matt Phillips, president, Cyvex Nutrition. “The Salk Institute is renowned for its pioneering discoveries in biological research, and we are pleased to have entered into this research partnership with the organization.”
