Huperzine A

Ten percent of the US population between the ages of 80 and 85 report that they are dealing with the memory challenges associated with the aging process. That percentage increases to 25% for those over 85. This issue is a growing concern as the population continues to live longer. It can compromise quality of life for both those experiencing the memory challenge and their loved ones.

Research has shown that one of the most prominent neurochemical changes that occur during the aging process is a decrease in the synthesis of acetylcholine. Acetylcholine concentration can be supported by inhibiting the production of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). International research indicates that Huperzine-A, an herbal extract of club moss, can help the body naturally maintain a healthy level of acetylcholine through modulating AChE production. The herb has been safely used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine.*

Wilke Resources, a Superior Source of Huperzine A

Our Huperzine A has demonstrated an excellent potential for healthy memory support. It has a longer half-life in the body than other similar options on the market today. We offer a high quality Huperzine A available in powder form with a minimum purity of 98%. The high purity product is triturated (uniformly diluted) by spraying onto an inert substrate, such as calcium carbonate, to give a finished concentration of 1% or 0.1%. This process makes it possible for formulators to get an accurate finished fill weight for tablets or capsules.

We also offer Huperzine A as a 1% extract. It is important to note that, while less expensive, the extract has not been purified and does contain other alkaloids and chemicals that have not been characterized.

Research shows that Huperzine A is most effective in daily dosages of 200 to 400 micrograms as Huperzine A, and safety studies show no statistically significant side effects for individuals consuming up to 600 micrograms per day for five weeks. Many manufacturers are formulating capsules and tablets containing 50 to 100 micrograms. This leaves room for companies willing to craft a product with higher concentrations and higher efficacy.*
