[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).

Kidney stones
Cranberry extracts contain a significant concentration of oxalate and calcium. This amplifies the chances of developing calcium-oxalate stones and uric acid stones in certain people.

Aspirin allergy
Cranberries contain substantial quantities of salicylic acid, which is also present in aspirin.

Warfarin (Coumadin)
Warfarin is an anticoagulant drug that is used as a blood thinner, and it lowers the chances of blood clots occurring in the body.

Helps Fight Cancer
A study published in the journal “Planta Medica” in June 1996 showed that cranberries exhibit anti-cancer properties. In addition.

Promotes Digestive Health
Cranberry juice can help prevent harmful bacteria from adhering to the stomach wall. This anti-adhesion activity of the juice is due to the antioxidant proanthocyanidin.

Boosts Heart Health
A pilot study unveiled at the 2003 American Chemical Society meeting reported consumption of cranberry juice increases high-density lipoprotein – the good cholesterol – which supports heart health. According to the Cranberry Institute,

Prevent Urinary Tract Infections
Cranberries contain proanthocyanidins, a compound commonly found in plants. It’s believed that this compound can help prevent UTIs by stopping bacteria from attaching itself to the lining of the urinary tract

Improve Digestive Health
The same compounds that help protect the heart also improve your digestive system function.

The Takeaway
Cranberry juice can be a healthy part of your diet, and even help protect against certain health issues. But it’s not a substitute for treating a medical condition.

It has anti-aging benefits.
