What are the key differences between HupA and a standardized extract of Huperzia serrata supplying measurable levels of huperzine A??
Proof of safety and efficacy are the critical differences between purified HupA and the standardized extract of Huperzia serrata. There are over 300 published articles identifying the structure, function, bioavailability, mechanism of actions, safety, and dose response of the purified HupA molecule, with regards to neurological effects and its influence on memory, dementia, and AD. It is important to note that only the purified HupA is the subject of current human clinical trials for AD, and the operative word is “purified.” Presently, there is no body of useful information on the use of a standardized extract which contains other undisclosed substances, in addition to huperzine alkaloids, one of which is HupA.
