You lose it, Prevagen Replaces it

Throughout the aging process your body loses its ability to make calcium-binding proteins.* The lack of these protective proteins can result in the death of your cells that are involved in learning and memory. Prevagen is designed to replace these proteins and help you fight aging.*

The animation to the left demonstrates how Prevagen can replenish age-fighting proteins. The ions in red are causing your cells to age. The healthy green proteins are Prevagen. They protect your cells and help you to Fight Aging.

How can Prevagen help you?

---

Studies show that Prevagen can reduce brain cell death.

Rare jellyfish protein reduces brain cell death

Results of a landmark scientific study of the effects of a jellyfish protein on brain cells was recently released. Our lab at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee showed a reduction in brain cell death of 50 percent when given a protein found in a rare jellyfish.* This protein called Prevagen was first touted to become the next breakthrough pharmaceutical. However, because it is from a natural source, the jellyfish, it is able to be released as a dietary supplement in limited supplies and start helping people now!

Prevagen Fights Aging

Scientific studies have found that there is a significant decline in important calcium-binding proteins as we age. We will definitely lose them and only Prevagen will replace them.* The Prevagen formula is intended to replace those essential proteins lost through the aging process.*

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't be deceived, February 24, 2009

Beroe (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Prevagen Apoaequorin, 30-Count Bottle (Health and Beauty)

I do scientific (not medical) research on the proteins which are contained in this supplement, and there is no reason that this product, a calcium-binding protein, will help you.

As they are legally required to say on their own web site: "This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease." Their "research" consists of cells in a culture dish and has no relation to human mental acuity. In the past, the creators have tried to mislead people into thinking that this is the jellyfish protein that won the Nobel Prize in 2008 (it's not). The lies do not end there: the "testimonials" on their site come from easily found stock photos (unless the same people are also fluent in French and also concerned about Italian osteopathy -- aah, the irony).

If you ingested EDTA or another calcium-binding chemical, it would be more effective at pulling calcium from your bloodstream than this protein. Proteins will not cross the blood-brain barrier, and they will largely be digested before leaving your system, releasing any calcium they might have bound. Even if this product *did* work to remove calcium, in the age groups that they are targeting, you should probably be taking calcium *supplements* and not trying to leach it out of your system. My grandfather died of complications from a broken hip, and he is not the only one.

Please do not be fooled.

2.0 out of 5 stars Review of Prevagen for memory loss, December 4, 2009

By 

Hope - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Prevagen Apoaequorin, 30-Count Bottle (Health and Beauty)

I have just completed 30 days of Prevagen and have thus emptied the bottle. I am sorry to say that the product was completely and utterly ineffective. So ineffective I cannot even remember the reasons why I was persuaded that it would work. My short term memory is just as bad if not worse than when I started. I did not expect that it would cure my memory problem completely but I did expect some good benefit. Consequently, I'm really disapointed.

There was no way to rate this item on your scale but from my review it should be obvious. I'm not sure why Amazon says I rate it a 2.

I hope either the product or my review helps someone else.

1.0 out of 5 stars hmm.... nearly all the positive reviewers dno't have any other reviews online... are they real?, January 31, 2010

By 

SteveNY "steveny" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Prevagen Apoaequorin, 30-Count Bottle (Health and Beauty)

The science is completely unproven. The small study they tout had a small sample set (56). The "study" was paid for by the company and is not double blind - no idea if a placebo would have similar effect. If this stuff works the company should be happy to provide studies with clear scientific methodology.

The small rodent study is also unclear as to scientific conclusions as they tell you that more brains cells survive, but its unclear if that is statistically significant or repeatable. If rodent brain cells "survive longer" does that automatically imply that humans will become smarter by consuming this? I do not believe so, its a huge leap of logic - and unproven.

Its also quite interesting that nearly all the 5 star reviews are from reviewers that don't show up on amazon.com reviews anywhere else. Apparently those folks don't review any of the wonderful books on amazon.com... I find that a bit suspicious.

Please consider carefully before purchasing. Please consider the "science" or lack thereof.

Thanks.
