I personally would want to see more evidence than this, but, their optimism seems to be fueled by some sort of objective data they have gathered up to this point. There are many more steps needed to demonstrate efficacy.

"Quincy Bioscience sponsors research conducted at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee to develop aequorin-based technologies and the first fruit of that relationship is the supplement Prevagen™. Prevagen™ is a novel product that in technical terms acts is a calcium-binding protein. Calcium-binding proteins deplete 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.

“We are very excited to be bringing this technology to the market in the form of a dietary supplement,” commented Mark Underwood, the inventor of the aequorin technology and a founder and President of Quincy Bioscience. “Many people are searching for a potent anti-aging supplement that has some really strong science supporting that type of claim. There isn’t anything on the shelves that matches up with our data.”

...Moyer has found less neuron death in aging rats that were given supplements of calcium-binding proteins. He is now testing a protein found in jellyfish as a possible therapeutic drug to inhibit neurodegenerative diseases."
