WASHINGTON, DC – The National Consumers League commends the Federal Trade Commission for its successful action against Quincy Bioscience, the makers of Prevagen, a supplement marketed as improving memory. By holding companies accountable for deceptive health claims, the FTC continues to protect consumers—particularly older Americans—from misleading marketing. Quincy Bioscience is just one of many dietary supplement manufacturers with a long history of making false claims, and we are so grateful to the FTC for pursuing this case successfully. It should serve as a cautionary tale to all companies who engage in false and deceptive marketing and advertising. This victory reaffirms the importance of rigorous scientific evidence in health-related advertising and demonstrates the FTC’s unwavering commitment to consumer protection.
