[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).

Vitamin B7 (Biotin) memory aids with silly little hand gestures included.

If the vitamin charts seem daunting, here are all of my silly memory aids for water-soluble vitamins for Part 1 boards. This video is Vitamin B7. Have your boards review book in front of you for a visual aid, and follow along with all the little ridiculous hand gestures–you’ll always have your hands with you while you’re sitting for boards, …unless you don’t have hands…

There will probably be a lot of questions on vitamins on boards, so it’s worth getting a good hold on, use whatever works best for you. Comment here with your additions and own ways of remembering.

Good luck!!
