    Function and Application

    1. Huperzine A has the effects of reducing fever, detoxification, swelling and relieving pain.
    2. As an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. It can prevent the enzyme from breaking down acetylcholine, thereby increasing acetylcholine levels. It is potent, highly specific, and has fewer cholinergic-related side effects.
    3. Huperzine A involves muscle contraction and is beneficial for diseases such as myasthenia gravis.
    4. As a potential functional ingredient against Alzheimer's disease. Huperzine A is beneficial for mild cognitive impairment and is clinically used to treat memory impairment in middle-aged and elderly people.
