Is Prevagen A Memory-boosting Supplement?

Is Prevagen good for improving memory? My husband is now taking Namenda xr 28 mg once a day and Donepezil 10 mg tab daily but they don t seem to be working . He seems to be getting slowly worse. Is there anything in the Pipe lines or on trial that can be tried?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering if Prevagen is a memory-boosting supplement . Well Prevagen is a new brain health supplement and functions unlike other brain or memory supplements . Prevagen’s patented ingredient is a new use for a well-known protein called “apoaequorin” which was originally found in a certain species of jellyfish . Prevagen known to improve mild memory problems that occur in aging . So consult your neurologist , who may decide dose according to your condition .
