Gave me slight chest / left arm pains within seven days of use...wised up & gave it up on day 11.
I bought the Prevagen extra strength elsewhere...gave me chest pains. So I started researching the product and found that the maker is being scrutinized by the FDA...Other notables are saying such things as "Far more scathing in his criticism is UW-Madison neuroscientist Baron Chanda. "This product doesn't make sense. It's basically quackery," he says after reviewing some of the online Prevagen research. He says there is no way the apoaequorin protein could survive the digestive tract and make its way to the brain. Prevagen purchasers, he suggests, are basically being played for "suckers." "
My advice is to save your money, exercise regularly, shift your diet away from processed foods (processed grains) and towards lower calorie green vegetables and lose weight gradually through life style changes...take curry powder or curcumin supplements daily (they do seem to be beneficial on many fronts)...these are the best ways to stave off cancer, diabetes, heart disease, dementia and other common conditions naturally arising from being an inactive, self-indulgent, careless, aging adult.
