October 2024
Patients will ask if apoaequorin, an ingredient in Prevagen, improves memory and brain function...as people search for a panacea.
Apoaequorin is a calcium-binding protein that’s isolated from the jellyfish species Aequorea victoria. When it binds to calcium, apoaequorin luminesces...giving the jellyfish a blue glow.
In theory, apoaequorin may help protect neuronal cells from calcium-mediated toxicity and slow age-related decline in memory and cognition.
