[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).

In this video, Sajah describes how a simple triplet formula of Dandelion root, Burdock root, and Chicory root provides a potent natural form of prebiotics. With so much focus on gut restoration these days, a lot of people tend to think only in terms of probiotics to restore the integrity of the digestive system. But what about what keeps the bacterial ecology already there healthy and thriving?

Prebiotics are simple polysaccharides which are food for the probiotic bacteria dwelling within the microbiome of the digestive system. Taking a strong decoction of these 3 herbs provides not only a good dose of prebiotics in the form of inulin, but also benefits the liver, gall bladder, blood, lymph, kidneys and overall detoxification processes of the body as these herbs are all trusty alteratives.

To make it a little more palatable, and to balance the energetics and constitutional effects of the formula, we like to add a touch of Ginger too and Licorice root as well, to warm it up and make it a bit more moistening.
