Great article. I've been wondering about Prevagen. How much do they spend on TV commercials ? We clearly need more truth in advertising. However, it doesn't look like it's going to happen soon. In the meantime, I'll continue to subscribe to your column Examined and to Consumer Reports.....two beacons of light and hope in the intentionally dark and deceptive world of consumerism. Thank you for your service.
I read enough about Prevagen to ignore it (especially the commercials). I've also been reading about the possibility of flavonoids possibly helping memory and focus, two of my being old problems. So I tried Cocoa via for 3 months, about $130 worth. Didn't notice any change so I quit. Any thoughts about the flavonoid theory?
Thank you Dr. McCormick for another informative and worthwhile article. I must admit the Prevagen commercials were enticing and I often thought about buying some to see how effective it was. Fortunately I never remembered to do so but after your article I can now remove one more decision that I don’t have to make.
Excellent analysis. Thank you.
I’m impressed. Factual but very lovingly presented. Great article!

Most supplements are useless, many do not contain what they say they do, a significant portion are outright dangerous...they are not regulated.
