Memopezil Supplement Facts: The Label, Line by Line

Here is the full Memopezil label as printed on the bottle. It has four parts: the front panel, suggested use, caution and Supplement Facts. Tap the numbers to read each part in plain words.

The Supplement Facts box has ten lines worth knowing. The table follows the label from top to bottom. Each amount is per 2-capsule serving, which is also the full daily amount.

Add up the five active lines and you get 1,030 mg per serving. That is roughly 515 mg of active ingredients in each capsule. Background on each ingredient is on Memopezil ingredients.

It means no official daily amount exists for that ingredient. The FDA sets Daily Values for nutrients like vitamin C and calcium. Herbs and amino acids like bacopa or L-theanine have none.

Federal rules say what to do in that case. The label must list the amount per serving and add a symbol that means "Daily Value not established" (21 CFR 101.36). Memopezil follows this rule on every active line.

So a missing percentage is not a gap in the label. It is simply how these ingredients must be shown.

Many memory supplements hide their amounts inside a proprietary blend. A blend shows one total weight, not the amount of each ingredient. Memopezil does the opposite. Every active ingredient has its own number.

Printed amounts also make safety talks easier. If you take medicine, bring the bottle to your next visit. Your doctor can see at a glance that each serving holds 200 mg of bacopa and 90 mg of ginseng. Safety notes for each ingredient are on Memopezil side effects.

It is the mix of the three branched chain amino acids. The ratio is two parts L-leucine to one part L-isoleucine to one part L-valine. Leucine gets the double share.

The label does not print each amino acid on its own. If the ratio is by weight, 540 mg would split into about 270 mg of leucine and 135 mg each of isoleucine and valine.

BCAA research on mental tiredness used about 7 to 10 grams during hard exercise (Blomstrand, 2006). Those studies looked at exercise, not memory.

It tells you the rhodiola extract is standardized. That means it is made to contain a set level of a marker compound. For rhodiola, the usual marker is salidroside.

At 3% of 100 mg, each serving gives about 3 mg of salidroside. Standardizing helps each batch stay consistent from bottle to bottle.

Rhodiola trials used 100 to 576 mg of extract a day (Ishaque et al., 2012). At 100 mg, Memopezil sits at the low end of that range.

Beyond the facts box, the label carries directions, a caution and the maker's details. Here is each one in brief.

The front panel also carries the FDA line: "*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease." Full directions are on how to take Memopezil.

The brand's info page and the retailer pack name five ingredients: pure honey, bacopa extract, rhodiola root powder, L-theanine and ginseng extract. The Supplement Facts box does not match that list.

Honey is absent from the label entirely. Rhodiola appears as a standardized extract instead of a root powder. The 540 mg of BCAAs, the biggest line on the label, is missing from the info page.

A few details that careful buyers look for are not printed. None of these is required by law, but each would help.

• Bacoside percentage. Bacopa trials used extracts standardized to bacosides. The Memopezil label does not state a level.
• Plant parts. The label does not say which part of the bacopa, rhodiola or ginseng plant is used.
• Extract ratios. No ratio such as 10:1 is given, so the amount of raw herb behind each extract is unknown.
• Per-amino amounts. The BCAA line gives a total and a ratio, not each amino acid.

Lot and batch questions are covered on Memopezil batch verification. Keep in mind that the FDA does not approve supplements before they are sold (FDA, Q&A on Dietary Supplements).
