Huperzia serrata (Toothed Clubmoss) - Feed Ingredient

Huperzia serrata, commonly known as toothed clubmoss, is a species of firmoss native to East Asia. It is best known as the natural source of huperzine A, a sesquiterpene alkaloid that acts as a potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.

In human and veterinary supplement formulations, Huperzia serrata is used primarily for its cognitive-supportive properties. Huperzine A increases acetylcholine levels in the nervous system, which has led to its investigation for neuroprotective and memory-enhancing effects.
