Increase Huperzine-A dosage?

So I have been taking Huperzine A and have noticed the effects. I was taking 100mg tablets and now I need to order more. I took 1 tablet once a day on irregular occasions (mostly days where I studied or attended college). Should I increase the dosage to 200mg? Will I notice any increased effects? Will my memory retention become even better?

Doses between 200-400mcg seems to be most effective. EGCG increases absorption and duration of huperzine at least two fold.

there is definitely a quick build up of tolerance with huperzine-a. I take it regularly in my sleep stack to rev up my dreams but i always limit it to three times per week in order to avoid tolerance. i agree with u/labratdream that the best doage for day time use is in the 200-400mcg range but if you take it daily it will stop working.

How quickly do you find it builds tolerance?

after about a week of continued use it really stops working and it takes just a couple days off to drop the tolerance. in my experience.

Appreciate the reply, the most I would take it is 4 days a week (consecutiveley) is that too much do you think?

I think that would be fine. i know some people go five days on two days off and seem to get good results.

Very pleased with Huperzine 150mcg 5 days on, 2 off. Provides just enough of a mental edge to ward off brain fog. Long half life
