Clinical studies of patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer disease found that huperzine A improved cognitive function, activity of daily life, and noncognitive disorders. In one study of mild to moderate Alzheimer disease patients, huperzine A was found to improve cognitive function, activity of daily life, and noncognitive disorders in a 12-week period compared with placebo.
