Testing & QualityMemoHoney Testing And Quality: Nine Emblems, Read One At A Time
Nine emblems travel with this product and each one is a statement about something different.
Two describe a building, four describe the formulation, one describes a country, one describes an unnamed person and one describes a refund. Read as a block they say quality; read one at a time they say several much narrower things, and the narrow readings are the useful ones.
An emblem is a claim like any other claim. This page takes each of the nine and says what it certifies, and what it does not.
The nine MemoHoney emblems and what each one certifies
Manufactured in the USAWhere the bottle was filled and packed. It says nothing about where the amino acids themselves were made, which in this category is usually somewhere else entirely.
GMPGood Manufacturing Practice: an audit of how a facility runs its processes and keeps its records. It describes the building, not the contents of your bottle.
FDA Registered FacilityEvery plant making food or supplements for the US market files a registration. A registration is a listing. The FDA does not approve dietary supplements and this roundel does not say that it did.
Non-GMOA claim about the source material the ingredients were made from.
Natural IngredientsA marketing phrase with no fixed legal definition for dietary supplements, so it sets no standard the bottle could be tested against.
Doctor FormulatedAn unnamed clinician. The supplied material does not say who, what they contributed or when, and this desk has no way to check any of it.
Naturally Gluten FreeA formulation claim. Anyone with coeliac disease should still write and ask the seller for the tested figure in parts per million.
Dairy FreeA formulation claim about milk protein, which is a common carrier in powder-filled capsules.
VegetarianA claim covering the fill and the shell together. The artwork never names the shell material; the seller's own page says the capsules are vegetable capsules made from hypromellose, which is consistent with this emblem and is the only statement either way.
The two MemoHoney emblems people read most generously
FDA Registered Facility
A registration is a listing. Every facility making food or supplements for the US market files one, and filing it is not an inspection, an approval or a finding. The FDA does not approve dietary supplements, and this roundel does not claim that it did — but it is the emblem most often read as though it did.
GMP
Good Manufacturing Practice is an audit of process and record-keeping at a facility. It is a genuine and useful standard, and it is a standard about how a building operates rather than about what ended up in your bottle. A GMP facility can correctly manufacture a product whose amounts are not published.
Neither reading is dishonest on the manufacturer’s part. Both emblems say exactly what they say. The gap is between what they say and what a tired reader at eleven at night takes from a row of roundels, which is why this page sets them out one at a time.
What testing would settle about MemoHoney, and what it would not
| Test | What it would answer | Status here |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | That each named ingredient is the compound it says it is | Not supplied to this counter. Reference MEM-8302-26-ME identifies a document |
| Potency assay | How many milligrams of each ingredient are in a capsule | The one test that would answer this label’s open question. Not supplied |
| Heavy metals | Lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury within limits | Not supplied to this counter |
| Microbiology | That the fill is within microbial limits | Not supplied to this counter |
| Allergen testing | A tested figure behind the gluten-free and dairy-free emblems | Not supplied. The emblems are formulation claims |
Every row marked as not supplied is a statement about what this retail desk holds, not an assertion that the testing was never done.
This counter sells the product and did not make it. It has the artwork, the seller’s page and the paperwork that travels with the order, and it does not have the laboratory file. The route to that file is the order desk on +1 (302) 200-3480, quoting lot MEM-26/ME-8302. What to ask for.
The MemoHoney capsule shell, which the artwork never names
The vegetarian emblem covers the fill and the shell together, and the shell is the part the label is silent on. Asked directly, the seller’s page describes the capsules as vegetable capsules made from hypromellose — a plant-derived cellulose material, and the usual alternative to gelatin.
That answer is attributed to the seller throughout this site rather than printed as though the bottle said it, because the bottle does not. It is consistent with the emblem, which is worth noting: here the advertising and the artwork agree, and the advertising is the more specific of the two.
