press, especially in multi-level businesses, called Huperzine A. The recommended dose of this agent seems to have a lot of data behind it, from chess champions on down, showing beneficial effect in short-term memory by increasing those levels of acetylcholine. My research indicates that this product should only be used occasionally, like before finals or a chess tournament, etc., not continuously. Acetylcholine, which as we said is a neurotransmitter, can be useful for proper memory function, and Alzheimer's patients tend to have high levels of acetylcholinesterase which breaks that transmitter down. However, normal subjects should not take it continuously (in my opinion), since acetylcholine overload is an unknown in humans. That's why I prefer the precursors to acetylcholine, like lecithin, choline, phosphatidylcholine, etc., since the cholinesterase enzyme is there to break down any excess the body doesn't want. I'm not sure I'd want to go the other way and block that enzyme, other than occasionally, or of course in a person known to have too much of it, like in an Alzheimer's victim. I'm a shotgunner, myself, as long as I'm convinced that what I'm using is as nontoxic as possible (drugs rarely qualify, in my opinion, but that's just me). Usually, nutrients work better as a team, and I like the best team members I can get. What you decide to do depends on your own research plus consultation with your own healthcare practitioner. ...
