Prevagen - Brain function

Prevagen (Quincy Bioscience) has been running an aggressive TV campaign claiming one can "experience improved memory, a sharper mind, and clearer thinking.  Is any of this true?  

Short answer is NO!

A review of the evidence indicates that these effects are not well substantiated. Likewise, the FDA has warned Quincy against claiming Prevagen could treat conditions such as head injuries and Alzheimer's disease and for failing to report adverse reactions. 

The FDA has also claimed that the key ingredient, apoaequorin, a synthetic protein, is not an acceptable ingredient in a dietary supplement. 

The FTC is also pursuing a lawsuit against the company regarding its promotion of Prevagen.
