Huperzine-a
Huperzine A is extracted from Huperzia serrata. It is a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and NMDA receptor antagonist that crosses the blood-brain barrier.The structure of the complex of huperzine A with acetylcholinesterase has been determined by X-ray crystallography.
Huperzine A is also marketed as a dietary supplement with claims made for its ability to improve memory and mental function.Huperzine A has also been postulated as a potential treatment for myasthenia gravis.

Huperzine A 99% Mode of Action
Huperzine A is derived from the plant Huperzia Serrata, it is a natural acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. Acetylcholinesterase is responsible for the breakdown of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, therefore by and so by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, more acetylcholine is available to the brain. This in turn, promotes better overall cognitive function and memory.
Huperzia serrata extract has been used in China for centuries for the treatment of swelling, fever and blood disorders. Huperzia serrata has demonstrated both memory enhancement in animal and clinical trials and neuroprotective effects.
Huperzia serrata has potent pharmacological effects and, particularly since long-term safety has not been determined, it should only be used with medical supervision. Huperzia serrata extract may have some effectiveness in Alzheimer's disease and age-related memory impairment. Huperzia serrata extract has been used to treat fever and some inflammatory disorders, but there is no credible scientific evidence to support these uses.
