[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).

How to Make Fruit and Vegetable Powders for Skin & Hair with a Dehydrator.

Making fresh produce into a dry powder is an easy way to extend the shelf life so you have these items whenever you need them. Fresh is ideal, but not always realistic! Processing produce this way preserves the nutrients and allows you to use these ingredients in a variety of ways. I’ve got some easy steps for breaking down different types of produce into small pieces so they can be dehydrated thoroughly and ground to a fine powder. Store in an airtight container for 3-6 months, freeze if desired.

Mix these fruit and veggie powders with water, juice, yogurt, agave or milk for a quick facial, spot treatment or hair rinse. For a face mask, combine with any varietal of clay. Find different types of clay + our own Fresh Masks made with real fruits and veggies on https://SimplecareProducts.com

some produce uses…
BANANA: often called “nature’s botox” for age-fighting abilities, improves skin tone, and can boost UV resistance.

GRAPES: contain compound resveratrol which is effective at blocking UV damage, improves skin elasticity, high in polyphenols.
PARSLEY: cintains chlorophyll which can fight bacterial growth on skin, has detoxing properties, promotes collagen growth and slows hair loss.
PEPPERS: high in phytonutrients, lycopene and sulphur, can be helpful for preventing certain types of cancers and promotes healthy skin cells.
POTATO: can lighten/brighten skin for more even skin tone, high in vitamins that promote healing.
PUMPKIN: helps brighten skin, even skin tone, fight acne, and balance oily skin.
STRAWBERRY: high in salicylic acid which can balance oily skin and absorb excess oil, high in Vitamin C, can minimize the appearance of pores.
TOMATO: acidity can fight acne and reduce the appearance of pores, high in lycopene that builds UV resistance.

Iodine and Starch Experiment | Iodine Experiment | Starch Experiment | Science experiments for kids

Simple and easy experiment to demonstrate the iodine with starch reaction!

For this test you will need:
• Two test tubes
• Soluble starch powder
• Iodine solution
• Water
• Dropper
Procedure:
• Put some starch powder into a test tube and fill the test tube with water.
• Mix the starch in the test tube well until the starch dissolves in the water.
• Fill the other test tube with normal water.
• Place both the test tubes in a test tube stand.
• Using a dropper take iodine solution.
• Put some drops in each test tube.
• Observe that the test tube with starch solution turns to purple black color.
• The other test tube with normal water retains the color of iodine i.e orange or yellow.
Explanation:
Starch is a mixture of amylose and amylopectin, which are different forms of glucose/starch.
Amylose in starch is responsible for the formation of a deep blue black color.
Amylase is long polymer chains of glucose units connected by an alpha acetal linkage and looks much like a coiled spring.
However iodine is a potassium iodide reagent and it is not very soluble in water.
So, iodine is prepared by dissolving it in water in an aqueous solution of potassium iodide. This results in a linear tri-iodide ion (I3−) complex in iodine which is soluble.
This tri-iodide ion (I3−) slips into the coil of the starch causing an intense or deep blue-black color.
