What is Huperzine A?
Huperzine A is the primary and most extensively studied active ingredient in Huperzia serrata extract. This natural sesquiterpene alkaloid is widely known for its potent and reversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, which helps increase levels of acetylcholine in the brain. As a result, it plays a key role in supporting memory, learning, and mental clarity.
It typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder, is freely soluble in methanol, ethanol, and DMSO, and sparingly soluble in water. It is stable under standard storage conditions but may be sensitive to humidity and light. In commercial applications, Huperzine A is often standardized to 1% in plant extracts.
In commercial formulations, Huperzia serrata extract is typically prepared at a 10:1 or 20:1 plant-to-extract ratio, and standardized to 1% Huperzine A depending on client requirements. Highly purified Huperzine A (≥98%) is also available as an isolated compound for use in research-grade or premium cognitive support products. It is used both by students who are looking to facilitate better learning and among adults who want to keep their memory working at the best level.
