Top 9 Benefits of Huperzine A

by Stanford Chem largest manufacturer of phytochemicals, pharmaceut
A potent nootropic substance taken from huperzine herbs, huperzine A works as a memory enhancer and cognitive booster. The learning transmitter, acetylcholine is prevented from breaking down, thanks to huperzine A which is basically why one can retain way more than what he or she usually does.

1. Nootropic effects

As has been mentioned before, it is the nootropic effects that help in cognitive memory and power that makes huperzine A popular among people. The high amount of acetylcholine that is left in the brain acts as the learning transmitter and helps allow electrochemical signals to flow between the neurons.

2. Improving Brain Function


Maintaining healthy brain function is another great benefit of regular intake of huperzine A. numerous animal studies have shown that the protective effect that the compound has on neurons really helps in protecting the brain.

3. Protection against Organophosphates

Huperzine A prevents seizures and nervous system dysfunctions caused by organophosphates like soman. Organophosphates and nerve gases are basically inhibitors of acetylcholine, which is ultimately responsible for a better memory.

4. Prevention of Glutamate Toxicity

As an adversary of NMDA receptor, huperzine extract provides protection from glutamate because that is a compound that is responsible for over stimulating the NMDA receptors and killing the neuronal cells in the process.

5.Oxidative Damage Protection

Additionally, huperzine A alleviates oxidative damage that is caused by glutamate toxicity. It does so by activating pathways of activated BDNF and mTOR signals.

6. Recovering Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injury can be healed with the help of huperzine A if it is used with other brain supporting compounds like vinpocetine, n-acetyl cysteine, etc.; multivitamins, and fish oils help in increasing brain blood flow and improve other functions.

7. Treating Alzheimer's


Reviewing different interventions for alzheimer's data shows that huperzine has the most statistically significant effects in delaying and decreasing alzheimer's and cognitive deterioration. This is a promising result considering that a lot of resources have gone into studying the disease and that finally there is a chance that there might be a chance for finding an alternative to the inevitable deterioration.

8. Aids in Prevention of Sepsis

In rat models that have severe bacterial infection, it has been seen that huperzine has been responsible in protecting the brain from damage by increasing functions of neurons and reducing inflammation by a lot.

9. Depression


Huperzine A has been found to be as effective as an add-on treatment for depression because of its ability to resolve some cognitive symptoms that are associated with the diseases. The compound however, did not cure depression itself.

Dosage and Side Effects

According to studies, it is recommended that an individual does not exceed the limit of 50-200 micrograms daily. One can determine how powerful this compound is by the daily recommended dosage.

For a period of about three months, huperzine is considered relatively safe. Some side effects like slowed heart rate, congestion, headaches might be experienced by those who have been taking the compound for a longer period of time.

Because it is so potent, it is really important for you to consult a physician.
