Just go down the list on google scholar.  I cannot find a single study that supports any of the negative results suggested in this article.  If any of these edits are factually valid, I should be able to find atleast one citation supporting them, where as I cannot.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.186.179.44 (talk) 14:18, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

message: What is the correct pronunciation of vinpocetine?  Is the accent on the second or third syllable?  Is "tine" pronounced "tin" or like it rhymes with wine? Shoe (talk) 12:22, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: The statement The sale of vinpocetine as a supplement is banned in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada due to “potential harmful nootropic characteristics”. is based on US sources that don't actually appear to say anything provably so. 
If a substance is banned or otherwise controlled in Australia then Australian government agencies would list that on one or more of their official pages. I cannot find any such statement. In addition, vinpocetine is widely available for sale within Australia, which would be highly unlikely if it were banned or controlled.
I am not comfortable with editing the page in this regard (especially in relation to NZ or Canada legality), so if someone else wants to/is editing it then feel free to. I just found the information in the course of researching supplements for my own use.

thread_title:  Banned in Australia - isn't banned as far as I can tell 

message: The 6 supplements that provided dosage info on the label were substantially correct, and that really should stand alone. If you really want to include their serving sizes, they range from 5-32mg -- not 0.3-32mg (though imo that's really germane). The 17 supplements that provided no dosage info on the label should also stand alone, as they're the ones that went as low as 0.32 or even not detectable. The current wording leaves the reader very confused where the groups do or don't overlap.
A clearer rewording of the second paragraph (past the first sentence) to match the sources would be:
Only 6 of the 23 supplement labels (26%) provided consumers with the amount of vinpocetine contained; these were substantially correct. The other 17 of 23 (74%) did not provide any information on the amount of vinpocetine. 6 of these actually contained no vinpocetine at all, while 11 contained widely-varying amounts (almost 40-fold, from 0.32 - 11.92mg per serving).
(I clipped the unintentionally-misleading "mislabeled" bit, since it gives the impression it could apply to the 6 that had dosage info. [It doesn't. If someone thinks it's notable enough to include, the point they were actually raising {viz. Table 1 and the wording just below it} was that a total of 9 of the 17 were "misbranded" rather than "mislabeled". 6 had no vinpocetine, and 3 of the 17 misrepresented the little vinpocetine they had as being a natural constituent of lesser periwinkle.]) 2603:3023:81D:100:8C3:75E7:3B9D:8E5F (talk) 22:59, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
