I hope you know that Prevagen is a scam and a hoax.

According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which charged Quincy Bioscience with false and deceptive advertising last January, the company study found that Prevagen was no more effective than a placebo at improving any of the nine cognitive skills, including memory, that the company measured.

So how can the company claim otherwise?

Because Quincy Bioscience went back and sliced and diced the results, performing more than 30 additional analyses of the data, and came up with three results that were statistically significant (and more than 27 results that weren’t).

It’s these three positive results that Quincy Bioscience touts as evidence that Prevagen is a “breakthrough” for helping with “mild memory problems associated with aging.”


Their one "conclusive" test indicated "improvement" in normal and slightly impaired subjects.
