[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).

Correction: If you want 100% vegan you have to choose a different type of protein ) best alternative is hemp, but it is quite expensive. There is to much controversy with soya, especially for men and rice protein is really hard to get.

Ingredients:

Steel cut oats – (you can use rolled oats if you prefer, but steel cut are healthier)
Whey Protein – (any brand and taste you enjoy)
Alfalfa powder – (I found this taste best from other chlorophyll sources)
Blueberries/Cherries (or both!) – you can alternate with cranberries, strawberries or my favorite – goji berries.
Cinnamon – make sure it’s Ceylon cinnamon (Scientific name: Cinnamomum verum)
Cocoa powder – alternatively you could use chocolate bytes (but that will add more calories, especially if it has sugar)
Stevia sweetener – make sure it’s 100% stevia and atleast 85-90% stevioside purity (alternatively you can use sucralose or acesulfame-k)
Bananas – optional!
