Q) How will aequorin protect me?
A) Aequorin works by striving to maintain calcium homeostasis, the balance of calcium within the cells. Without proper cellular balance of calcium ions within the cell, premature death of cells can result.*

Q) Do you have to harm jellyfish to
make aequorin?
A)
Not a single one!

Q) How long until aequorin starts to
work?
A) Aequorin should start replacing depletions in calcium-binding proteins immediately. Results should be seen within the first few weeks of usage.

Q) What is "calcium mediated cell death"?
A) Loss of calcium homeostasis, often in the form of cytoplasmic increases, leads to cell injury. Depending upon cell type and the intensity of Ca2+ toxicity, the ensuing pathology can be reversible or irreversible.

Q) Does everyone experience a loss of
calcium-binding proteins?
A) All humans do lose calcium binding proteins with age.

Q) How does aequorin affect the aging
process?
A) The aging process is very complicated and aequorin acts only through one simple
mechanism, the balancing of calcium homeostasis. However, the simplicity of the
approach offers much hope to make a significant impact on several areas calcium-mediated
events that are detrimental to aging.
