[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).

There is a common thread that many people talk about when comparing the Golden Era to today – and that thread is bodybuilders seem to be less unified and friendly with each other in the modern era. Looking back at Pumping Iron – the legendary greats would all pal around despite the intense rivalries on stage. That doesn’t seem to be the case today (just look at Generation Iron for some proof of that).

There seems to be more conflict and hate both on and off the stage. And we’re not just talking about the athletes. Companies, the media, and even fans seem to be much more disgruntled compared to the past. Perhaps the internet plays a large role in that – giving a larger group an anonymous voice to troll and complain. But is this shift ruining bodybuilding? Flex Wheeler goes into detail about his experiences with haters in his past… and how it has changed during his comeback today. Check it out above.
