COVEX HAS PROVIDED ITS MAIN INGREDIENTS to the pharmaceutical industry for years. Presently, its activities are being expanded to the nutraceutical and beverage fields.

In 1994, the Complimentary Food Law came into effect (DSHEA 94) in the U.S.A., which allowed natural products to be commercialised and sold to the general public. Vinpocetine met with these requirements and was registered with the FDA in the year 2000.

Covex Pharma Inc. has an exclusive agreement with Kingchem Inc. http://www.naturalproductsinsider.com/articles/391news12.html to supply Vinpocetine and other raw materials to major U.S. companies within the dietary supplement market. www.kingchem.com

The advantages of medical science, change in lifestyle, and in eating habits during the last century leads to the extension of a lifespan. Because of medical care, physical exercise, the improvement of health-related habits, and health education, one can gain and maintain a superior state of health. Ultimately one should focus on a healthy diet along with the use of dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, functional foods and beverages to maintain good health. We should not only be concerned about the health of the physical body, but also of the mind. It has been shown that human memory may start to decline at the age of 30. The experimental findings have been confirmed by personal observations. With age, people begin to have some problems with memory.

Nutraceutical markets all over the world offer a variety of different types and forms of memory enhancer products. The products contain ingredients that have different mechanisms of action to support the brain. Particular products, to improve cerebral circulation are called Intelectol®(The purest grade of vinpocetine available), Vincagenol® (standardized vinca minor extract) and Oxopocetine® (vinpocetine citrate) which contain vinpocetine or vincamine as active ingredients.

Covex has signed a business agreement with an American Company, Memory Secret Inc. , to capitalize Covex patents and obtain key business alliances with worldwide players within the nutraceutical and beverage industries.

A clinical study was performed on 199 clinically healthy volunteers by COVEX, S.A. (Covex S.A. is proprietary of this data). Volunteers were divided into two groups according to their age: The first group included individuals that were 19-23 years old, and the second group individuals who were 60-69 years old. The results of the study clearly demonstrated the beneficial effects of Oxopocetine® and Vincagenol® on memory function and cognitive capacity when taken with different beverages such as tea, coffee or cola beverages. Oxopocetine´s active ingredient is vinpocetine citrate, which is a soluble salt of vinpocetine. It has all of the properties of vinpocetine. The patented technology permits the mixture of beverages containing the combination of caffeine or theobromine with vinpocetine citrate (See patent USA 4749707).
