 Review of Prevagen for memory lossDec 05, 2009
By Hope
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.

 Don't be deceivedFeb 25, 2009
By Beroe
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.

hmm.... nearly all the positive reviewers dno't have any other reviews online... are they real?Jan 31, 2010
By SteveNY
"steveny"
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.

 Prevagen and headachesMay 11, 2010
By G. Skal
"rpcv"
I originally purchased prevagen for memory issues. I have used it for about 40 days or so and my memory might have improved marginally. What I have noticed is that the frequency of my migraine headaches and intensity has dropped by about 50%.
I also happen to feel more at easy, more relaxed.
Is it due to Prevagen? Not sure, but it certainly coincides with the time frame I have been taking it.

No differenceSep 12, 2010
By Chris
Well, I have to say that my months supply of Prevagen is almost gone and I felt absolutely NOTHING! I was hoping to feel more alert along with maybe some improvement in memory, but I feel absolutely no difference. To me... not worth the money.
