[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).

Dr. Fred Pescatore talks about how he came across natural botanical extract Pycnogenol while researching his book, The Allergy & Asthma Cure. Pycnogenol can be found in nutraMetrix Isotonix OPC-3® an isotonic-capable food supplement that is made from a combination of bilberry, grape seed, red wine and pine bark extracts(Pycnogenol), and citrus extract bioflavonoids, all found to be powerful antioxidants. https://bit.ly/1c21T9G

This video, created by Nucleus Medical Media, shows the normal activity of testosterone and treatment for men with abnormally low testosterone levels. Deficiency of this male hormone may result in a condition called androgen deficiency, or hypogonadism, which may include increased body fat, reduced muscle size, and swollen breasts. Testosterone replacement therapy is the administration of man-made testosterone to restore a healthy hormone level in the blood and to relieve symptoms. Treatment options can be in the form of an injection, patch, gel, or tablet.
