[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).

Ingredients:
애호박 1 Green pumpkin Squash or zucchini
들깨가루 ½ cup perilla powder
홍고 (long red pepper/nonspicy)
새우dried shrimp
다진마늘 ¼ tablespoon minced garlic
양파 ½ onion
잠기름 Sesame oil
다시마 kombu kelp
멸치물 anchovies
OR
멸치국물내기 티백 (anchovy teabag)
소금 salt
간장 soy sauce

First use the teabag or the anchovies and kombu to make a broth. Boil 4 cups of water in a medium saucepan for about 3 minutes. Set aside

Cut up the onion and in a medium saucepan or stone pot sauté it with soy sauce and sesame oil until it starts to brown.

Now add broth into the sautéed onions, just enough to cover the onions.

Cut up the 1 zucchini and the red pepper.

Add the garlic to the onion pot and add water to fill the pot half way up.

Now add about half of the perilla into the pot and stir until it boils again.

Add the zucchini and red pepper and shrimp.

Now add the rest of the perilla little by little. If its not thick enough like a porridge you can add up to 1 cup.

After it boils for about 5 minutes you can taste it and add salt to taste. I prefer the taste of just perilla so I put very little salt.

I boil it for about 15-20 minutes total. Just keep an eye on it and when the zucchini is nice and soft it should be ready.

I hope you liked it! GOOD LUCK!!
