What is Huperzine A?
Huperzine A is a naturally occurring compound isolated from Chinese club moss (Huperzia serrata), used in traditional practice and now studied as a modern cognitive-support ingredient.
What makes its mechanism unique?
Unlike many botanical ingredients with less-defined mechanisms, Huperzine A's action as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor is well documented — it's thought to help support levels of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory and learning.
What does the research say?
Systematic reviews have examined Huperzine A as a cognitive enhancer through randomized controlled trials, including research into its use alongside cognitive impairment.
Huperzine A's role in MemoVex
Huperzine A rounds out the MemoVex formula, providing a distinctly-mechanistic complement to the other three botanical and phospholipid ingredients. See the full ingredient list.
Safety considerations
Huperzine A is generally well tolerated at studied doses but is more potent than some other cognitive-support ingredients. Consult a doctor before use, especially if you have a heart condition or take other medications affecting acetylcholine.
