BULKSUPPLEMENTS.COM Huperzine A Powder - Pure Huperzine Supplement, Nootropic & for Cognitive Health - 15mg of Huperzia Serrata Powder per Serving, Gluten Free (25 Grams - 0.88 oz)

I tried smaller and smaller amounts but the side effects are very severe. Take at your own risk.

I researched supplements for brain health, and this was frequently mentioned, with few risks, such as pregnancy, etc. It is even sometimes given to children(!) Yesterday I took a tiny amount, and was sicker than I have ever been, throwing up for 5 hours, with nerves lighting up in my back, at first too hot, hours later shivering with chills. If it had not been a Sunday, my husband would have taken me to Urgent Care. I probably should have gone to the ER. I was almost unable to even talk for hours, in pain and scared. I then was able in the afternoon to look up adverse reactions: and there was a list of mine. Beware. This is really dangerous. Only because my husband did everything he could to help me, I am OK.

I've filled capsules a lot, but never has been filling capsules been such a pain.I figured that .20 milligrams was equal to 200 micrograms. Then, I measured out the correct amount on my digital scale using a pharmacy spoon. However, from there things went downhill. I measured the 0 capsule and found its weight didn't show up as measurable on the scale. I began filled the first capsule to 200 mcg, but in the process, the powder pretty much went everywhere. Finally, instead of trying to fill the capsuled from the scale, I used a glass plate and poured part of the powder onto it. After that, I filled the capsules by scraping the powder off of the plate. I also filled the capsules to the same height in hopes of getting, but it took over and hour and a half to fill 26 capsules. As well, the powder made the capsules slippery, so I lost more of the powdered gold in the process.I'm aware that the .88 oz is supposed to last quite awhile, but should I find that the supplement helps with my memory, I plan on buying it the next time in capsule form. 180 Capsules of Huperzine A at 400mcg/serving, at $23 would be a lot let stressful and time consuming.

I add a dusting to my morning coffee because it is water soluble and the dosing is extremly small. I don't do this every day. I am actually afraid to. The first time I gave this a try, I noticed a change within a couple days. It seems I am able to make associations that I haven't been able to make for years, and it comes intuitively. It is extremely easy to overdose. I have accidentally done this once. A little chunk fell in. I had to lie down the rest of the day, ended up throwing up, not fun. But just don't do that.Edit: I have found mixing the tip of a spoonful into a mix of other herps for capsul fill eliminates the risk of overdosing.
