Jellyfish Protein Supplement
Quincy Bioscience, Madison, WI, has launched Prevagen, a dietary supplement consisting of the jellyfish protein aequorin, which, according to the company, has displayed potent anti-aging activity. Prevagen acts as a calcium-binding protein, which are depleted in several areas of the body as part of the aging process. Prevagen taken as a supplement replaces those proteins lost through aging and provides protection within the cells that it enters.
