Huperzia serrata (Qian Ceng Ta / Jin Bu Huan) is a plant known as a firmoss which contains the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor huperzine A. It is widely distributed over-the-counter as a nootropic and dietary supplement.
This species is native to China, India, and Southeast Asia.
Huperzine A is a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and NMDA receptor antagonist that crosses the blood-brain barrier. A 2013 meta-analysis found that huperzine A may be efficacious in improving cognitive function, global clinical status, and activities of daily living for individuals with Alzheimer's disease.
Huperzine A is also marketed as a dietary supplement with claims made for its ability to improve memory and mental function. Huperzine A may also have a possible role in the treatment of myasthenia gravis.

A1: Huperzine A is extracted from Huperzia serrata (commonly known as Qian Ceng Ta or Jin Bu Huan), which is a firmoss plant native to China, India, and Southeast Asia.
A2: Huperzine A acts as a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and NMDA receptor antagonist. It easily crosses the blood-brain barrier to protect acetylcholine levels, thereby supporting memory, focus, and overall neurotransmitter function.
A3: It is widely used in health foods, dietary supplements, and pharmaceutical formulations, particularly for anti-senile dementia support, memory improvement, and cognitive enhancement.
A4: For sample orders (1kg), we package with double plastic bags inside and an aluminum foil bag + outer box. For bulk shipments (10kg, 25kg, or more), we package using heavy-duty drums or cartons with 2-layer plastic bags inside.
A5: For quantities exceeding 100kg, you can choose between Air delivery (taking 3-7 days to your destination airport) and Sea delivery (taking 10-35 days to your destination port).
A6: Based on our HPLC testing standards, our product is verified to contain Huperzine-A > 1% (with typical batch results around 1.03%) and Huperzine-B > 0.1% (typical results around 0.11%).
