While Prevagen has received over 1000 positive reviews from Amazon, the limited third-party testing conducted by Quincy Bioscience actually reported the results were no different than placebos. Furthermore, most experts agree that when the protein is digested, it is transformed into common amino acids that are no different from those derived from other dietary proteins. It is also generally agreed that this protein cannot cross the unusually strong blood-brain barrier to even reach the brain to achieve any functionality. The fact is that seniors, including us at 80Insights, cannot find our keys or glasses, put milk in the pantry, and forget our children’s names. It is quite normal, and test results suggest Prevagen offers no benefits not obtainable from any placebo.
