This standardized extract from the Chinese club moss is an all-natural herbal supplement that has been shown to maintain healthy levels of acetylcholine. This product is standardized for maximum efficacy, and its patented delivery system includes fat-soluble vitamin E.
Caution
Because vitamin E inhibits blood clotting, it should not be used if excessive bleeding is occurring. Since Huperzine A inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, it should not be used on a chronic basis. 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. Most healthy people safely boost acetylcholine levels by taking precursors such as choline and phosphatidylcholine along with pantothenic acid. The Cognitex formula contains these acetylcholine precursor agents. Do not take Huperzine A if you are taking other acetylcholinesterase inhibitors like AriceptŪ or Tacrine.
