[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).

7 Health Benefits Of Eating Broccoli & Cruciferous Vegetables.

1. 1 cup of Broccoli contains over 100% of the daily recommended intake for Vitamins K and C.

2. Broccoli can enhance liver detoxification phase 1 and 2 enzymes, through its sulfur phyto-nutrients content such as glucosinolates. Glucosinolates produce the detoxification regulating compound Isothiocyanates (ITCs).

3. Broccoli is a rich source of fiber, which helps to support the digestive system. 100 calories of Broccoli contains around 10g of fiber, which is 40% of the DV for fiber.

4. Great Source Of Carotenoids Lutein and Zeaxanthin, which are important for eye health

5. Broccoli contains sulfur phyto-nutrients Isothiocyanates, which have potent anti-inflammatory properties. Chronic inflammation plays a role in most serious degenerative diseases.

6. Broccoli and cruciferous vegetables may lower cancer risk.

7. Broccoli helps to reduce and protect against oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species, also known as “free radicals” and the body’s ability to counteract these free radicals through its various antioxidant systems in the body.

Broccoli is a rich source of many strong anti-oxidants such as Vitamin C, flavonoids, quercetin, carotenoids, kaempferol and many others.
