Prevagen Professional Research
Prevagen has proven neuroprotective in preclinical studies and has shown to improve cognitive function in adults with memory concerns. Apoaequorin, the active ingredient in Prevagen Professional, targets intracellular calcium regulation, a key component of cellular function, Prevagen Professional helps to keep cells alive longer by binding excess calcium that would otherwise damage cells.*
The Aging Brain and Calcium Regulation
Studies have shown calcium dysregulation to be a root cause of the aging process and brain aging in particular. The levels of calcium-binding proteins, vital to buffering excess calcium, are not as abundant in the cells of older brains. As a result, each time a brain cell fires, calcium entry to the cell occurs but the lost buffering activity from a reduced level of calcium-binding proteins causes calcium concentrations to rise. Elevated calcium levels stress the cell and can lead to premature cell death.
Apoaequorin Research
Apoaequorin research is conducted by Quincy Bioscience, with academic laboratories like UW-Milwaukee, and other research institutions such as CanCog Technologies, a leader in cognitive research.
