A species of fir clubmoss (also known as Lycopodium serratum), Huperzia serrata has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (Qian Ceng Ta).
Several bioactive compounds are found in Huperzia serrata, including lycopodium alkaloids, triterpenes, flavones, and phenolic acids.
Indirectly supporting healthy Acetylcholine levels in the brain is the alkaloid huperzine A, which is the most studied of these.
The neurotransmitter and neuromodulator acetylcholine plays an important role in cognitive function, including memory[1] mechanisms and executive functions. It also contributes to alertness, attention, and learning.
Acetylcholine is vital for different types of memory, including short- and long-term memories, as well as the formation, consolidation, and retrieval of memories.
Huperzine A enhances cognitive function by supporting acetylcholine signaling.
The antioxidant defenses of the brain and its neuroprotective functions have also been demonstrated by hyperzine A [2,3].
