Cereton is semisynthetic alkaloid. It has a nootropic (protects nerves and the brain) effect. It inhibits the voltage-dependent neuronal sodium channels, which in turn enhances a chemical messenger (intracellular cGMP levels) in the brain. Thus, increases blood flow within the brain. This is how it prevents the destruction of never cells (neurons) and protects the brain. Thus, helps enhancement of the nervous system. It also has an antioxidant property. This works by oxidizing the free radicals (toxins) in the body.
