What is Huperzine A?
Huperzine A is an extract derived from Chinese club moss (Huperzia serrata). This plant has been the subject of various scientific studies, but in Europe (EFSA), there are no approved health claims for Huperzine A. Life Extension offers this substance in standardized form, with 200 micrograms of Huperzine A per vegetarian capsule. This product is Non-GMO and contains only the necessary excipients to ensure the extract is provided in a stable form.
Discover the Benefits of Huperzine A by Life Extension
In accordance with European regulations on health claims, we cannot make specific claims about the effects of Huperzine A. Life Extension cannot make statements about nutrients without approved health claims by the European Commission. These claims are approved based on scientific evidence, evaluated by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Health claims are statements about the relationship between nutrition and health.
Health claims are approved if the evidence meets strict criteria. For herbal supplements, this process is complex because much of the evidence is traditional and does not always meet modern scientific standards. As a result, the European Commission has not yet established definitive evaluation criteria for herbal claims.
