Huperzine-A 200mcg 90 Capsules

What is Huperzine?

This alkaloid compound is found in Chinese clubmoss (toothed clubmoss), also known as huperzia serrata. Huperzine-A is used as a cognitive supplement since it increases levels of acetylcholine in the brain by inhibiting an enzyme which breaks down this neurotransmitter.

Huperzine-A Dosage and How to Take

Since huperzine isn’t water soluble, it doesn’t have to be taken with a meal. Do not take more than one 200mcg capsule daily as huperzine-A’s half-life is around 12 hours. You should notice maximum effects after roughly one hour.

To assess tolerance, start by taking a quarter or half of a capsule for a 50mcg or 100mcg dosage.

Although it isn’t clear if huperzine’s effectiveness is increased by cycling, it may be prudent to cycle huperzine-A on and off for two-week periods.

The most prevalent benefit mentioned in positive reviews was an improvement in healthy memory function.

Stacking with Choline

Taking huperzine with a choline source, like alpha-GPC, should increase the benefits of choline supplementation since huperzine-A inhibits the enzyme which breaks down acetylcholine.
