Because vitamin E inhibits blood clotting, it should not be used ifexcessive bleeding is occurring. Since Huperzine A inhibits the enzymeacetylcholinesterase, it should not be used on a chronic basis. Thereason for this is that some acetylcholinesterase is needed to suppressexcessive amounts of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine fromaccumulating in the body. While most people over age 30 need moreacetylcholine, too much can cause unpleasant side effects. Most healthypeople safely boost acetylcholine levels by taking precursors such ascholine and phosphatidylcholine along with pantothenic acid. TheCognitex formula contains these acetylcholine precursor agents. Do nottake Huperzine A if you are taking other acetylcholinesteraseinhibitors like Aricept® or Tacrine.
