Q) What is Prevagen?
A) Prevagen® is a new brain health supplement and functions unlike other brain or memory supplements. Prevagen®’s active ingredient is a new use for a well-known calcium-binding protein called “apoaequorin” which is found in a certain species of jellyfish.
Prevagen® binds to calcium in cells and helps reduce damage to cells that occur in aging due to our body’s decline in production of calcium-binding proteins.* Calcium serves a vital function of cellular communication but excess calcium can disrupt the balance and damage cells. Prevagen® helps to restore balance.*
Q) What are the most commonly reported benefits of Prevagen?
A) Research conducted by Prevagen®’s scientists at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee demonstrated the main effect of “apoaequorin” (the active ingredient in Prevagen®) is brain cell protection through regulation of calcium in the cell.
The most common reported benefits are:
Overall improved mental clarity*
Clearer decision-making*
Better memory*
Greater ability to focus*
Q) How long will it take to feel results?
A) Many have reported benefits within the first week but results will vary. Daily use
for 30-60 days is a reasonable length of time to experience results.
Q) Do you have research supporting Prevagen?
A) Yes. Quincy Bioscience has research laboratories at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. In our foundational trials, apoaequorin demonstrated over 50% brain cell protection versus the control group. Additional studies are underway.
Q) "I haven't heard of 'apoaequorin' before"?
A) Researchers who study calcium sure have! Apoaequorin was discovered in the early sixties as researchers wondered why a certain species of jellyfish glowed in the Puget Sound (Washington state). They discovered that when the protein apoaequorin, contained in the jellyfish, bound to calcium, a light was emitted. Today, because of apoaequorin’s long-history and safety, it is the preferred research tool as a calcium indicator. Don’t worry though, glowing is not a side-effect with Prevagen!
Q) How long until Prevagen starts to work?
A) Prevagen should start replacing depletions in calcium binding proteins immediately. Results should be seen within the first few weeks of usage.
Q) Can I get a free sample?
A) Yes. We would be happy to send you a 7 day trial. Pay just $7.95 shipping and processing. Click here to place your request.
Q) Is Prevagen available in stores?
A) Prevagen is widely available at local health food stores as well as Rite Aid stores across America.
Q) What is the role of jellyfish in Prevagen?
A) The active ingredient in Prevagen® is “apoaequorin” which is a “calcium-binding protein” contained in a specific species of jellyfish which also use apoaequorin to regulate calcium. The DNA of these proteins is remarkably similar to the calcium-binding proteins our bodies produce.
Q) What if I'm allergic to fish? Does Prevagen contain any allergens?
A) Prevagen® is non-allergenic. The active ingredient “apoaequorin” is a protein from a jellyfish which is non-allergenic and interestingly, a jellyfish is not truly a fish. People with fish allergies need not worry. Also, Prevagen® is made with a vegetarian capsule and non-allergenic inactive ingredients.
Q) Are jellyfish harmed in the making of Prevagen?
A) No. The protein from the jellyfish is now grown in a safe and controlled manufacturing process.
Q) Should I continue to take my vitamin and mineral supplements with Prevagen?
A) Absolutely. Prevagen® is not meant to replace this type of supplementation. However, Prevagen® works in a manner unlike any other supplements to help protect brain cells. Prevagen® works in a complimentary way to vitamin and mineral supplementation.
