Product Description

Feel Younger Scientific Studies show a reduction in cellular death by up to 50% More energy Replenish age-fighting proteins Increase concentration All-natural from jellyfish Jellyfish are essentially a floating nervous system. One thing jellyfish are very good at is managing calcium within their bodies. Jellyfish are loaded with protective, age-fighting proteins that are very similar to the proteins humans lose as we age. PrevagenTM is a patent-pending dietary supplement designed to fight aging. Prevagen is the only dietary supplement to use the age-fighting proteins contained within the jellyfish. Prevagen replenishes the calcium-binding proteins we lose in the aging process. Prevagen is one of the few supplements on the market that has strong science and research behind it.

How does it work?




See Prevagen in action (requires Quicktime).

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.*

That which makes jellyfish glow in the deep...5
may save your aging brain. And who better than an aging internist to take a keen interest in getting all body parts to the finish line intact? I paid particular attention, then, when I came across this new concept in neuroprotection.

Calcium is, as we know, a good thing. In particular, it holds up our joints and activates our nerves. When neurons are stimulated by a passing impulse via a transmitting molecule called glutamate, they open up their pores and let the calcium trickle in. Not pour in, mind you, just trickle. If they get over-goosed with glutamate, a situation called excitoxicity, too much calcium enters the neuron which upsets it unto death.

Enter aequorin. Scientists have long called on the jellyfish protein as a 'calcium reporter.' In other words, add aequorin to a cell preparation in a laboratory, the aequorin hooks up with the calcium, and bingo! that which is calcium-laden within the cell lights up like a jellyfish.

Mark Underwood of Quincy Bioscience figured out that giving aequorin to rats through the golden months of their lives helped them hang onto the ability to perform tricks despite their advancing age. Rats normally get less tricky as they age because they lose their calcium-binding proteins which allows free calcium to ravage their brains while their tricks leak out. But rats plus jellyfish protein equals peak performance at mazes and bells throughout their lifespan.

I was pleased to recently hear that Prevagen was now available to humans. I fully expected a product that I would take because it would protect me against losing my marbles on down the road but which would not particularly change my day-to-day functioning. To my surprise, not only did Prevagen clear my head of early morning fogs and the urge to nap after lunch, by day three, a longstanding tremor in my left arm was nearly gone. The only downside I've noted with the use of Prevagen is that it interferes with the soundness of my sleep.

Don't be deceived1
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.

Prevagen really works!!!!5
I have been using Prevagen for almost two months and am very happy to report that:
1) My knees have stopped aching. I have tried glucosamine and did not notice a difference but with Prevagen my knee pain was at least 80& gone within the first week. My back and neck also quit aching. I have not felt the need for a chiropractor since taking the product.
2) I'm sleeping much better. Previously I was getting up three or four times a night. Now I get up maybe once a night and wake up in the morning feeling well rested.
3) My bruised hands returned to normal in a period of a few days where previously the bruises had been there for weeks.
4) I feel better overall mentally, seem to think clearer and am better able to handle stress.
This product is the real thing and I highly recommend it.
