[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).

Having SteviaSweet 95-60 stevia extract in the food designer’s toolkit. Extracted from the leaves of the South American plant Stevia rebaudiana, this high potency sweetener has 200 to 300 times the sweetness of sugar. There are several components within the leaf, but only two main steviol glycosides contribute sweetness, Stevioside and Rebaudioside A commonly referred to as Reb A. Both the balance and the purity of these compounds will impact flavor.

While many companies gravitate toward high levels of Reb A, Steviva Ingredients has a different approach with SteviaSweet 95-60. SteviaSweet 95-60 is a proprietary blend of steviol glycosides containing 60% pure Reb A and 95% steviosides. This perfect combination delivers what we feel is the least bitter and most well rounded flavor high intensity sweetener available.

No harsh chemical solvents are used in the SteviaSweet 95-60 stevia extract process. Water extraction and temperature induced spray-drying produces this naturally sweet powder. Clean processing is especially important because the meaning of the word natural is coming under scrutiny.
As one of the nation’s leading suppliers of stevia products, Steviva Ingredients is committed to producing the food industry’s best all natural, high intensity sweeteners. SteviaSweet 95-60 is ideal for baked goods, confections, sweet goods, packaged meals, beverages and marinades.
