Pro football legend and world champion puts a face on protecting brain cells
and fighting the diseases of aging.
Milwaukee, WI, June 2, 2008 – Until recently the best thing to protect a
football player’s head was his helmet. But recently, with the growing
popularity of a new product called Prevagen™ (www.prevagen.com), there is
an option to help protect the brain off the field also.
Given the commonality between hard hits on the football field and the aging
process it is understandable that many retired professional athletes are now
protecting their brains past the days when they donned helmets for glory.
One such athlete is Santana Dotson, former Green Bay Packer that played for 10
years in the NFL. Seeking to preserve optimal brain health, Dotson started
taking Prevagen in the fall of 2007, and recently has signed on as a
spokesperson for the product, lending both his name and story to help others
see a new way to fight the aging process and keep brain cells alive.
There are about 6 million Americans currently afflicted with Alzheimer’s
disease and that number continues to increase rapidly as the population in the
United States continues to age.
"While playing 10 years in the National Football League I went to great
lengths to take care of my body and make sure I could always give it my all
each and every Sunday,” said Dotson. “That type of care helped me
win a Super Bowl and create some lasting memories. I am very excited to now
be working with Prevagen to help take care of my body and mind."
Santana Dotson played in two Super Bowls for the Green Bay Packers including
their World Championship season in 1996. Off the field, he is just as
determined to be proactive in taking care of his mind and body while
encouraging others to do the same. By utilizing the platform that his status
allows, Santana is able to help share about the benefits of protecting the
brain including members of his health clubs.
“This technology holds much promise for the baby boomers in general, not
to mention ex-NFL players,” says Mark Underwood, President of Quincy
Bioscience.
Success means far more to Santana than stellar statistics on the football
field, it is also about bringing this same level of energy and enthusiasm to
helping those around him. Already Santana has helped the lives of many
through the Santana Dotson Foundation (www.santanadotson.org), he is now able
to help others through his example and encouragement in the fight against the
cognitive effects of aging.
About Prevagen
Prevagen™ is a novel and patent-pending dietary supplement designed to
fight aging. The only supplement from a jellyfish, Prevagen has demonstrated
the ability to keep cells alive longer. Prevagen was developed by Quincy
Bioscience in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee.
Rooted in true biotechnology science Prevagen is the first supplement to fight
the aging process through powerful molecules called calcium-binding proteins.
Calcium-binding proteins are found naturally all throughout the body. They are
responsible for keeping cells healthy and for keeping the aging process at
bay. They work by buffering ions that could cause cellular damage, age and
even cell death. Unfortunately, over time we lose the ability to make these
valuable, age-fighting proteins at the same rate we did when we were young.
This explains the cognitive differences seen in the aging process.
In our younger years a healthy person is able to manage calcium due to an
ample amount of this type of protein. Prevagen fights aging by protecting the
cell from an unhealthy amount of intracellular calcium. As you age you need to
replace these depleted proteins. Prevagen uses a safe and natural protein
from jellyfish to assist with healthy aging.
Jellyfish are essentially a floating nervous system. One thing jellyfish are
very good at is managing calcium within their bodies. What does a jellyfish
have to do with human health? The answer is; jellyfish are loaded with
protective, age-fighting proteins that are very similar to the proteins people
lose as we age.
