Huperzine A

Function and Efficacy

This product is an alkaloid extracted from the natural plant Melaleuca alternifolia. It has high biological activity and is a highly selective reversible cholinesterase inhibitor for true cholinesterase. This product has high fat solubility, small molecules, and is easy to pass through the blood-brain barrier. After entering the central nervous system, it is more distributed in the frontal lobe, temporal lobe, hippocampus and other brain areas closely related to learning and memory. It has a strong inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase (AchE) at low doses, significantly increasing the content of acetylcholine (Ach) in the synaptic cleft in the distribution area, thereby enhancing neuronal excitation conduction, strengthening the excitation effect of the learning and memory brain area, and playing a role in improving cognitive function, enhancing memory retention and promoting memory reproduction.
