[What is Huperzine A]

Huperzia is a type of moss that grows in China. It is related to club mosses (the Lycopodiaceae family) and is known to some botanists as Lycopodium serratum . The whole prepared moss was used traditionally. Modern herbal preparations use only the isolated alkaloid known as huperzine A. Huperzine A is an alkaloid found in huperzia that has been reported to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, an important substance needed by the nervous system to transmit information from cell to cell. Animal research has suggested that huperzine A’s ability to preserve acetylcholine may be greater than that of some prescription drugs. Loss of acetylcholine function is a primary feature of several disorders of brain function, including Alzheimer’s disease . Huperzine A may also have a protective effect on brain tissue, further increasing its theoretical potential for helping reduce symptoms of some brain disorders.

[Function] Used in alternative medicine, huperzine A has been found to act as a cholinesterase inhibitor, a type of medicine used to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine (a chemical essential to learning and memory).

Not only used as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, huperzine A is also said to enhance learning and memory and to protect against age-related cognitive decline.

In addition, huperzine A is sometimes used to boost energy, increase alertness, and aid in the treatment of myasthenia gravis (an autoimmune disorder that affects the muscles).

https://www.honeysucklecatering.com/blog/a-pumpkin-smoothie-and-soup

- 1 small pumpkin (about 3 – 5 pounds)
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chile powder
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. Rub olive oil in the pumpkin and season with salt and pepper. Lay cut side of pumpkin face-up. Roast for about 45 minutes, until pumpkin is tender and can easily be pierced with a fork. Once it is done, let the pumpkin cool and then remove the flesh (about 3 cups). Discard the skin.

In the meantime, add 2 tbsps of butter and 1 tbsp of olive oil to a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and sauté for about 10 minutes, until onions are translucent.

Add the pumpkin flesh, sage, cumin, chile powder, and stock. Bring to a boil and then lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Blend the soup using an immersion blender or transferring it to a regular blender (once the soup has cooled down significantly).
Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, dash of chile powder and pumpkin seeds. Add salt to taste and serve.
