Huperzine - A
Huperzine A is a Chinese club moss native to Southeast Asia, that has been used in traditional medicine for millennia to treat skin conditions muscle problems and boost blood circulation. We feel that do this chemical’s strong effect on preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine, the main neurotransmitter responsible for boost short term memory and long term brain health. Acetylcholine is critical for encoding new memories, reasoning, concentration, cognition, and neuroplasticity. This effect on acetylcholine directly influences brain chemistry and proper modulation of dopamine and serotonin in the brain. Huperzine A also functions as an antioxidant for the brain preventing free radical damage to brain cells, making it another vital ingredient that the Drink Alchemy team felt was necessary in creating the worlds most effective nootropic drink.
