[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).

“Just Like the Real Thing” Chocolate Chip Muffin–Low Carb!
by Cooking Keto with Kristie

This basic muffin recipe is really versatile. I’ve used it for a quick pound cake loaf as well. The texture is great and this is super low carb using the same ingredients I use.

1/3 cup whey protein isolate
1/3 cup oat fiber (or 2 tablespoons coconut flour)
1/3 cup almond flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp glucomannan (optional)
¼ tsp salt
4 ounces of butter, room temp
¾ cup Sukrin + (or your preferred sweetener) order at www.sukrinusa.com code friends gives you a 10% discount
4 ounces full fat cream cheese
3 eggs
1/3 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
3/4 cup low carb chocolate chips

Mix dry ingredients with a whisk and set aside. Cream butter and sugar together. When butter is lighter in color, add cream cheese. Make sure all is well-blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Add sour cream and vanilla extract. When wet ingredients are well blended, stir dry ingredients into the wet ingredients by hand. Taste for sweetness. Add chocolate chips. Bake in muffin tins at 350 degrees for 14 to 16 minutes. Makes 12 muffins. Using the ingredients I use and not counting oat fiber or sugar alcohols, 1/12 of a recipe is less than 2 total carbs each!
