MemberThe reason you’re feeling better and the reason Huperzine A works is that it is an antiacetylcholinesterase and works just like Mestinon pyridiostigmine to free up the amount of acetylcholine available for your muscles to function. Huperzine A is NOT a cure nor does it alter your immune system It simply frees up the acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junction so the nerve can send a message to trigger the muscle. It is a natural product made from a fern and available over the counter without a prescription.its benefit is that it seems to be less harsh on the gut. And cheaper than Mestinon.
