Share Answers About Apoaequorin for Memory and Cognition

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.
