This is my favorite program called Everything. It is a search engine for your computer and you can quickly find files. I made a tutorial about it . . .

What about Prevagen, the memory-enhancing pill?

It includes "...an ingredient originally found in JELLYFISH."

An ingredient originally found in one of the few animals that DOESN'T HAVE A BRAIN? Gimme a break.

I hate those, too. They're always showing people living supposedly normal lives while listing the dozens of side effects which often include death.

I particularly hate the diabetes medicines which claim to help you lose weight (but only if you diet and exercise). Meanwhile, one of the side effects is the dangerous ketoacidosis.

I downloaded it and installed it the last time you posted this a few years ago. I opened it once, closed it, and deleted it. Windows search found the files a lot faster than I could with Everything.

It might be good for some people, but not for me.

I've always wanted to try that stuff but I can never remember to buy it when I'm at the drug store.

^ It was a long time ago. I only remember it because I recognised your video.

I want to know the ingredient, or at least a ballpark idea. How much is there "in" a jellyfish? Mostly saltwater and an angry sack of stinging tendrils.

The answer is:

So what is Prevagen? It’s a pill that contains a protein called apoaequorin, which is found in a species of jellyfish that glows in the dark. These jellies produce two proteins, apoaequorin and green fluorescent protein (GFP), that help them fluoresce. It’s an amazing biological system, and the three scientists who discovered and developed the chemistry of GFP were awarded the 2008 Nobel Prize in chemistry.

Does it work?

I see no reason why eating this protein would have any effect at all on brain function. First of all, it’s not even a human protein, so it's unlikely to work in humans. Second, even if it did work in humans, eating it would not deliver it to our brains, because it would be almost certainly be broken down in the stomach. And third, the connection between this protein and memory is complex, so simply having more of it is not likely to improve memory.

And it's expensive. 2 bucks a pop. But it DOES come in an extra-strength form but, as the article says, it's hard to imagine a pill which doesn't to anything could do it twice as well.

Skip the advanced brain power, I want it to let me glow in the dark like the jellyfish.

I have some glow in the dark pigments for slime making projects with the kid. Maybe you could eat some and at least have your poop glow like a jellyfish.
