What is in Prevagen?
Its stated active ingredient is apoaequorin, a protein first identified in jellyfish.
What the manufacturer claims
Prevagen is marketed as helping memory. Those memory-improvement claims are the manufacturer’s marketing claims, not established proof.
What is not established
Dietary supplements are not approved for effectiveness the way medicines are, so a supplement being on sale does not prove that it works. No supplement suits everyone, and side effects and interactions with medicines are possible.
Talk to a doctor or pharmacist first
Talk to a doctor or pharmacist before taking any supplement, especially if you are pregnant, managing a health condition, or taking regular medication. They can advise whether it is suitable alongside your other medicines.
If you are worried about memory loss
Anyone worried about memory loss should see a doctor, because memory problems can have treatable causes. A supplement is not a substitute for medical assessment.
Bottom line
Prevagen Regular Strength is a supplement marketed for memory support. Its claims are marketing claims, not established proof, so get professional advice before deciding whether to take it.
