[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).

Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, are delicious and nutritious. Follow this recipe to bake your own pumpkin seeds and create a sweet, spicy, or salty treat at home.

Step 1: Preheat oven
Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray the baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.

Step 2: Remove and dry seeds
Remove the pumpkin seeds from the pumpkin, wash them, and pat them dry with paper towels. Spread evenly on the baking sheet, and bake for one hour at 250 degrees to dry them.

Step 3: Combine seeds, oil, and salt
Combine the pumpkin seeds with the canola oil and salt in a large mixing bowl. Use more or less salt to achieve the taste you desire.

Step 4: Add spices
Increase the oven heat to 350 degrees. Add spices to create your own flavor combinations. Toss the seeds, oil, and spices until the pumpkin seeds are evenly coated.

Tip
Use any spices in your pantry to create a personalized flavor combination. Use chili powder for spicy pumpkin seeds or combine sugar, cinnamon, cumin, and ginger for a sweet flavor.

Step 5: Bake seeds
Spread the pumpkin seeds evenly on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for four minutes.

Step 6: Redistribute
Mix the pumpkin seeds on the baking sheet, and redistribute them evenly. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for four to five minutes more.

Step 7: Cool and store
Remove the baked pumpkin seeds from the oven and let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container — if you can manage not to eat them all immediately.
