MemoHoney Research: Which Studies Exist, at What Dose, and What They Did Not Test

• No study of the finished MemoHoney capsule exists. The Scientific References image on the brand's home page shows logos, with no study, author or year.
• Arginine: under 400 mg in a capsule, against 4 to 24 g a day in blood pressure studies.
• Citrulline: under 200 mg in a capsule, against 3 to 9 g a day in blood pressure trials.
• Beta alanine: 40 mg in a capsule, against 4 to 6 g a day for training and 2.4 g in the one older-adult thinking trial.
• Niacin 7.5 mg NE and calcium 18 mg are nutrient amounts, not research doses for memory.
• No expert group we use recommends any supplement for brain health, apart from correcting a proven deficiency.
• Not published: any study of this formula, and the brand's basis for its memory claims.

It involved beta alanine, the smallest line on the label. In 2023, researchers gave 100 adults, average age 70.6, either 2.4 g of beta alanine or a dummy pill every day for 10 weeks (Nutrients 2023, Ostfeld et al.).

• Overall result: thinking scores, measured with the MoCA test, ended level between the two groups.
• A subgroup: people who began with a MoCA score of 26 or lower did better on beta alanine than on the dummy pill.
• Other measures: mood, anxiety and physical performance showed no differences, although depression scores did drop in the beta alanine group.
• Who paid: a company, Natural Alternative Inc., is listed as the funder.
• The dose: 2,400 mg a day, which is 60 times the 40 mg in one MemoHoney capsule.

So the trial found no overall thinking benefit, and nobody has tested 40 mg. It cannot be stretched to this capsule.

They are cautious, and they agree with each other.

• The Global Council on Brain Health, convened by AARP, says science does not support any supplement to prevent, slow or reverse the loss of thinking skills, and that nutrients should come from food (Global Council on Brain Health (AARP), The Real Deal on Brain Health Supplements).
• The NIH's complementary health center says direct evidence for supplements preventing dementia is lacking, and that a supplement should never delay a visit to a provider (NCCIH, 7 Things To Know About Supplements and Alzheimer's).
• The Alzheimer's Association reports that proof is missing for every food, vitamin and supplement tried as a way to prevent, treat or cure Alzheimer's. In a big NIH-sponsored trial, ginkgo performed no better than placebo (Alzheimer's Association, Alternative Treatments).

That answers the older-adult and dementia versions of the question too. Do memory supplements work in the elderly? No supplement has been shown to. Do they help prevent dementia? Direct evidence is lacking. MemoHoney is not a treatment for dementia, Alzheimer's disease or memory loss.

Put it in writing to [email protected], so the answer is on record.

1. Is there any study of this finished capsule? Please name it.
2. Which study supports the claim of better memory at 7.5 mg of niacin and the other amounts on the label?
3. Who makes the capsules, and is a lab report available for my lot?
4. Which form of niacin is used?

A useful reply names documents. A reply that repeats the sales copy is not an answer.

Reading the research is a short job here, because there is none on the capsule itself. What exists is research on single ingredients, at larger amounts, for other purposes. It does not show that the capsule helps memory, and it does not show that it does not. It shows that nobody has tested it.

That is a fair thing to know before you spend money. It is also a good reason to keep any trial short and to judge it on your own notes.

If memory is worrying you, research on supplements is not the place to start. A doctor can look for treatable causes, such as medicine side effects, low vitamin B12 or thyroid trouble.
