[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).

Sacha inchi seeds, powders and especially the extracted oils are considered a health enhancing dietary supplement for their levels of protein, fiber and polyunsaturated fat ratios, particularly omega-3 fatty acids. Oil and seed powders, from the Plukenetia volubilis plant species, are a fairly recent superfood to most of the world but have been used as a wild food source among peoples of the South American Amazon for over 3,000 years. Abundant in other constituents like phytosterols, phenolic compounds, carotenoids and other antioxidants, the cold pressed oils extracted from the seeds are the most common form of sacha inchi used by health enthusiasts worldwide.
