What Is Huperzine A?
For centuries in the Far East, traditional healers have used a rare moss (Huperzia serrata) found in the colder regions of China to remedy fever and inflammation. Only recently did scientists uncover a remarkable quality in a substance they isolated in the moss. Called huperzine A, the compound appears to have the power to sharpen the mind and potentially ward off the devastating effects of the memory-robbing disease known as Alzheimer''s, particularly in its earliest stages. Huperzine A has also been proposed for countering normal bouts of forgetfulness in the general population.
Mental improvements associated with huperzine A appear to stem from the compound''s ability to inhibit the breakdown of acetylcholine, a brain chemical essential to memory. The only Alzheimer''s drugs currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration work in much the same way. In fact, laboratory findings indicate that huperzine A may be more precise than conventional medications in the manner in which it protects acetylcholine, raising hopes that it could counter memory loss with relatively few side effects.
General Interaction
Huperzine A is believed to have a synergistic effect when combined with cholinesterase inhibitors, drugs that act in a similar fashion to combat Alzheimer''s-related memory loss. So while the combination of these two agents could potentially boost the benefits of both, it could also lead to as yet unidentified negative reactions. Consult a doctor for guidance.
