[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).

You might want to think twice before reaching for that high-sugar energy drink. As viewers of the national Better TV show learned recently, there may be a healthier alternative. Guest Dr. Felicia Stoler, author of Living Skinny in Fat Genes, suggests getting caffeine from products made with Sunphenon green tea extract instead. Not only will you get a safe energy boost, you’ll also get the health benefits of green tea polyphenols.

Stoler was invited to the show to help take the guesswork out of choosing natural dietary supplements. She cautioned that, “Natural does not mean safe. You have to be a savvy, smart consumer.”

There are concerns about energy drinks that contain too much sugar. “It’s not the best way to get your energy,” said Stoler, suggesting Sunphenon instead. “If you don’t want the sugar, sometimes just taking a capsule without all the extra calories is good.” In addition, with Sunphenon you also get the metabolism-boosting properties of EGCg.

Tea polyphenols, consisting mostly of tea catechins, account for 20 percent of the tea leaf and are responsible for the majority of the health benefits of green tea. However, a number of companies have come under regulatory scrutiny due to the quality and/or safety of their tea extracts. Most of this concern has been traced back to questionable extraction methods and a general lack of adherence to solvent and pesticide regulations.

Sunphenon is produced from pesticide-controlled green tea leaves meeting the stringent U.S. FDA residual pesticide regulations for tea as outlined in 40CFR180. No chloroform or other illegal solvents are used in the processing of any Sunphenon extracts

There are several consumer products on the market containing Sunphenon, including daily supplement capsules and green tea drink powders that blend easily into water for a refreshing beverage.
