On August 31, 2016, the FDA published in the Federal Register that it wants to remove vinpocetine from the marketplace. The FDA is not alleging that vinpocetine is unsafe, nor is the agency questioning its efficacy.[...]
The basis for the FDA banning vinpocetine is a technicality that has no scientific practicality. According to the FDA's misguided logic, since a new drug application was filed in 1981, then vinpocetine does not qualify today as a dietary supplement.
Year 1981 is not a misprint! The FDA is actually going back to a 35-year-old drug application and claiming this as a basis to rob your brain of a low-cost compound that has demonstrated efficacy in human clinical trials.
Http://vinpocetine.org has instructions for submitting public comments to the FDA and sending protest letters to Congress and the FDA.
