Male: This is an article that I think you'll find really interesting. It talks
about how calcium changes in the aging process and how it contributes to age-related cognitive
decline. Now calcium's not really our enemy. Calcium is found in our bones and teeth and
constitutes most of our skeletal frame. But about one percent of the body's calcium is
actually found in the nervous system. And the one percent of this calcium that's found
in the nervous system regulates how our electricity works inside the brain.
Now it's not really exactly electricity, but that's a great way to think about it. Each
of our individual brain cells is sort of like a light bulb. And when those light bulbs are
working, we're bright. We're sharp, we're focused, we're in tune, and we're able to
clearly think and process information. But in the aging process, sometimes those light
bulbs get a little dim. And as those light bulbs change, we need to change the internal
environment of our brain cells. Well, we do that by introducing Prevagen. Prevagen contains

a calcium binding protein. A protein that's able to help absorb this
extra calcium and help our electrical system get more finely tuned. It's sort of like dialing
in a radio station. One click to the left or right, you might have static. But if you
get it on that right station, everything's as clear as a bell. Prevagen helps to support
brain healthy by assisting with this balance.
And this article is all about calcium homeostasis, or calcium balance. It's what needs to be
maintained in the aging process to keep our memories clear and our thinking sharp. So
that's a little bit about how Prevagen works today. Thanks for staying tuned, and I look
forward to the next time that we talk. [0:01:40]
