Scientific Background: Huperzine A is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. It is known for enhancing learning and memory by protecting a neurotransmitter molecule in the brain. Huperzine is also a NMDA glutamate receptor antagonist (1-2). The effects on the treatment of Alzheimer's disease is under studies (1-3). Recent studies of Huperzine A highlight the potential therapeutic use for dementia by slowing down the neuronal cell death caused by glutamate (4).
