Huperzia Serrata is a type of firmoss that contain the memory-boosting nootropic compound Huperzine A.
This acetylcholinesterase inhibitor is known for increasing levels of a neurotransmitter related to memory formation, recall and many of the most basic cognitive functions.
The plant itself is also known as Chinese club moss and is native to India and Southeast Asia. The extract of this plant has been used in the traditional medicine of China for centuries.
Huperzia Serrata is widely distributed over the counter as both an herbal Alzheimer’s treatment and as a cognitive enhancement supplement. You will find Huperzia Serrata in supplements such as Alpha Brain while most other Huperzine A sources use synthetic versions of this alkaloid.
