The Federal Trade Commission and New York’s attorney general charged a company with fraud on Monday for selling a memory supplement based on a glowing jellyfish protein. Makers of a product called Prevagen are falsely advertising it as a memory booster, and falsely claiming the product can get into the human brain, the charges claim.

Memory. Early research shows that taking 10 mg of apoaequorin (Prevagen, Quincy Bioscience) daily for 90 days might improve forgetfulness, word recall, and the need for reminders in some people. But, this research is of lower quality. DONE BY QUINCY BIOSCIENCE THEMSELVES!

No clinical research has adequately evaluated side effects caused by apoaequorin. Some people who have taken apoaequorin have reported potential side effects to a manufacturer of the product. Some of the most commonly reported side effects were headachedizziness, and nausea.

The manufacturer, Quincy Bioscience, used in-house clinical trials to make its claims of memory enhancement, which were not verified by independent researchers, according to Janet, Jenner & Suggs LLC, a nationwide law firm not involved in the suit.

The FDA investigated the company in 2012 and found the supplement has serious side effects, including seizures and strokes, as well as worsening symptoms of multiple sclerosis.

QAnon Sucks!

Does Prevagen Really Improve Memory?
Answer:
According to the company's website, people who use people Prevagen (Quincy Bioscience) can "experience improved memory, a sharper mind, and clearer thinking. However, a review of the evidence indicates that these effects are not well substantiated. In addition, the FDA has warned Quincy Bioscience in the past 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.
