It is beneficial for people who need to be sharp and perform at peak mental alertness. It may also be used for mental overload, and to help people center themselves and function at optimum capacity. Emerging research also indicates that Huperzine A holds tremendous promise for improving the quality of life for people with a wide range of memory impairments, including Alzheimer's disease. Studies have shown that this pure alkaloid helps prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter affecting memory and concentration. This product is standardized for maximum efficacy, and its patented delivery system increases absorption.
Vitamin E is added to help reduce the impact of age related memory loss.
Dosage and use Adults may take one capsule in the morning and one capsule in the evening during periods only when peak mental performance is required. Do not take more than four doses in any week and do not use Huperzine A on a chronic basis unless a physician treating an Alzheimer's patient is first informed. Precaution Since Huperzine A inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, it should not be used on a chronic basis by healthy people. The reason for this is that some acetylcholinesterase is needed to suppress excessive amounts of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from accumulating in the body. While most people over age 30 need more acetylcholine, too much can cause unpleasant side effects.
