Source Naturals Huperzine A, for Learning & Memory* 200 mcg - 120 Tablets

While doing some research, I read about Huperzine A. My mom had been experiencing some mild cognitive impairment, so I ordered some to give it a try. I'm really glad I did! Mom has been taking it for several months, and it works really well.On occasion I found that mom benefitted a 2nd dose. Because of that, I order the 200mcg tablets for her. Source Naturals brand Huperzine is $12 for bottles of 120 count 100mcg tablets and it's $20 for bottles of 120 count bottles of 200mcg tablets. One bottle lasts for 4 months. It's such a small price to pay for something that has such positive and noticeable effects on cognitive health and mom's sense of balance. The tablets are very small, round tablets, that are beige in color, and are very easy for mom to swallow.I definitely recommend Huperzine A to anyone experiencing minor age related cognitive impairment, forgetfulness, or balance issues.Highly Recommended!

Makes you smarter, for a few hours. These are good when you need to focus. I take one before work every day. The effects don't last very long, but they are dramatic. My mom won't take them because she's worried they will diminish cognition long term. Who knows...I hope not.Anyway, if you don't feel as sharp as you used to, these are worth a try, after checking with your Doctor first, of course. I've heard stories some people have a bad reaction to cholinesterase inhibitors due to a genetic difference, so probably just take a tiny nibble of the pill the first few times to make sure you can handle them. If you know you have a sensitivity, steer clear.

I remember a time when I had an excellent memory, but as the years go on, I find myself being unable to recall things more and more and it is driving me nuts. I decided to try a supplement to help, and found mention of huperzine A in a reddit thread I was reading. I probably read through 10-15 different mentions of Huperzine when I was looking it up online, and decided to go for it. It came in the mail rather quickly (free shipping, Amazon Prime…score!) and I started to take the recommended dosage of one tablet two times a day, and waited to see the results. Well, as with all supplements, I know that it sometimes takes 3-6 weeks for you to see results take hold on your body, and I wanted to remain patient. After about a week, I saw a bit of change, I could see some improvement in my short term memory, but then also, I noticed I was a little bit tweaky, so I cut down the dosage to just one tablet per day in the morning. After three weeks, I noticed that there was actually a really big difference in my memory, as I could not only recall things that I had difficulty remembering before, I could do it faster than I am used to. The huperzine A is a really great product, and I do recommend it, but as with all supplements it’s really specific to your body and you have to do your research. It’s not a magic pill, but does work if it’s right for you.Update:So I’ve been taking the huperzine for a few months now, and actually started taking another supplement (this time for focus) that actually somehow increased the potency of the huperzine A. I am also taking NootropX - 90 caps - Mental Focus and Concentration Supplement With Memory Enhancement For Extreme Clarity and Alertness - Instant Brain and Memory Power Boost From Patented AES® Absorption System - The Ultimate Brain Vitamins and it works really well at helping me maintain focus and complete projects in a productive manner. It’s really great actually, and I only have to take one of those every other day so even though I’m seeing optimal results I’m just taking one huperzine A every day and one NootropX every other day.

Source Naturals Huperzine A, 200mcg, 120 TabletsWell after reading the mostly positive reviews, and looking forward to a lucid dreaming, and better sleep here is what happened--i took one capsule Huperzine , half hour before bed like one review said he did plus 1/4 teaspoon of Vinpocetine and 10 Grams (0.35 Oz) Choline CDP Citicoline Bulk Powder--and went to bed reading a book, nothing happened, so went and took another capsule of Huperzine, dozed off about 10 pm, and wide awake then 2 hours later at midnight, so after reading a review that said the guy upon awakening took another capsule, i took two more, lay awake for 21/2 more hours till 230 am, and took one more. Starting at midnight, both calves began crazy cramps, having to get up often and walk around, and my stomach was churning, with bowels full of pressure air to go, and then sometime about 2 hours later, some dreaming started, and dozed maybe an hour, then wide awake. And the side affects of mental disturbance made it uncomfortable for next 5-6 hours.Any thoughts of this experience?

Worked well at first, started to make my eyes twitch constantly. Effectiveness wore off quickly. I noticed that at first (taking 2 pills) I would be more focused and could remember things better. After about two weeks my eyes were twitching terribly and after about a couple of months of being on and off of Huperzine-A I noticed it wasn't working well. Now taking three or four pills about once a week or so is giving minimal results with side affects including eye twitching/dry eyes and possibly causing brain fog afterwards.
