Product introduction:
Huperzine-A is one of the alkaloids contained in a plant known
as Chinese club moss. Other types of club moss are common in the
United States, but true Chinese club moss is very hard to find on
the U.S. market. It can be grown in Hawaii, but not in any other
part of this country. Believed to be largely unchanged from
prehistoric plants, club mosses are small ground covers that do not
produce flowers. Related to the fern family of plants, they spread
by sending out spores instead of seeds. They thrive in damp, shaded
areas such as tropical woodlands and the edges of swamps. Huperzine
A and huperzine B are two of the chemicals that have been separated
from Chinese club moss. Huperzine B is also an acetylcholinesterase
inhibitor, but because its effects are much weaker than those of
huperzine A, most research has focused on huperzine A. Synthetic
forms of huperzine A have been made in chemical laboratories and
they appear to be as effective as natural huperzine A in studies.
Huperzine A has also been combined or "hybridized" with the
prescription drug tacrine (Cognex), an acetylcholinesterase
inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
for treating Alzheimer’s disease. The resulting "huprine"
combination seems to be more effective at limiting
acetylcholinesterase activity than either agent alone. Much more
study needs to be done on the possible effects of huperzine A,
huperzine B, huprine, and other chemicals derived from Chinese club
moss.
