[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).

I do not care for the ice cream sold in stores. Loaded with sugar, GMOs and other poisons. Not fit for consumption. After deciding to make my own, I ordered a Cuisinart machine due to the good reviews. A month went by after it came and I still was not well enough to use it so it went back. I figured I could try again later if my health became more stable.

Not having enough good days to make things like ice cream and realizing I was going to go off grid soon with only low EMF DC power, I tried a new method. I searched here on youtube “how to make ice cream with out a machine.

I made these with a spoon, a fork and left over containers. The first batch was the best vanilla I ever had. This batch was so so as trying new flavors. The chocolate peanut-butter [sun-butter] did not come out so great-I did not seal it right and it crystallized. That is why it looks SO GROSS. Other than that it was fine. The other 2 flavors came out great.

I love the control of making my own. No storing or eating a huge tub. No sugar [stevia sweetened] if I so choose and ALL ORGANIC and all real ingredients.
