[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).

Berry Smoothie Bowl

Start your day with a taste of summer!

Serves 2

Ingredients:
Smoothie Bowl:
2 cups (500 mL) almond milk (or other nut milk)
2 cups (500 mL) frozen blueberries
1 ripe banana
2 Tbsp (30 mL) chia seeds
1 tsp (5 mL) maca powder
1 scoop raw vegan protein powder
Toppings: rawnola, goji berries, chia seeds, sliced banana and blueberries

Rawnola:
2 cups (500 mL) raw oats
1/3 cup (75 mL) sunflower seeds, soaked 8 hours
1/3 cup (75 mL) pumpkin seeds, soaked 8 hours
1 cup (250 mL) chopped dried fruit (any mix of dried cherries, blueberries or
cranberries)
2/3 cup (150 mL) agave
1/2 cup (125 mL) pitted dates
1 Tbsp (15 mL) coconut oil
1 vanilla bean
Sea salt

Method:
If you’re making the rawnola as one of your smoothie bowl toppings, you’ll want to be sure to make this first.
To make the rawnola, first soak your sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds for about 8 hours.
Mix the raw oats, seeds and chopped dried fruit together in a bowl.
In a food processor, combine the agave, dates, coconut oil, vanilla bean and sea salt until smooth.
Pour over dry ingredients and mix them well.
Dehydrate the rawnola at 105ºF for about 12 hours.
Once ready, break up the rawnola into pieces.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
To make the smoothie bowl, blend all ingredients until smooth.
The smoothie should be quite thick, so if needed, you may need to add more frozen blueberries until you reach your desired consistency.
Pour in a bowl and decorate with your toppings.
Enjoy!
