MemoVance Pro Supplement Facts: The Full Label

Serving size 1 capsule. Servings per container 30. The calcium percentage is reproduced with the decimal comma the artwork uses.

A serving here is one capsule, which makes this label easier to read than most in the category. Where a panel declares a two or three capsule serving, every figure on it has to be divided before it can be compared with anything, and a good many buyers never do that division.

Because a bottle holds 30 servings and the suggested use asks for one a day, a bottle is a calendar month to the day. That single fact does more work than it looks: it makes a pack size legible at a glance, and the pricing page turns it into a cost a day without any guesswork.

Adding the five amino rows gives 640 mg, which is the figure worth carrying around. Two-fifths of it is arginine base, another two-fifths the arginine AKG extract, and the rest splits between the citrulline salts and beta-alanine.

This arithmetic is done once, here. It is not repeated elsewhere on the site.

Two rows on this panel carry a percentage and five carry a dagger, so these are the only two figures on the label that can be checked against a reference amount at all.

The niacin row checks out. Forty-seven per cent of 7.5 mg NE implies a Daily Value of roughly 16 mg NE, and that is a coherent number for a niacin reference. This desk requested the National Institutes of Health fact sheet to confirm which reference the manufacturer used and the server answered a script with HTTP 403, so the figure is reported as consistent rather than as confirmed against a primary source.

The calcium row does not reconcile cleanly against either common reference. Eighteen milligrams is 1.38% of 1,300 mg and 1.8% of 1,000 mg, and the panel prints 1,5%. The difference is a rounding of the order of half a per cent on a row carrying eighteen thousandths of a gram, so nothing about a buyer’s decision turns on it. It is noted because a page that transcribes a panel exactly should say when the transcription raises a question.

The comma is the artwork’s own. European labelling uses a decimal comma where United States labelling uses a point, and its presence on a bottle sold in the United States suggests artwork prepared for more than one market.

• Hypromellose (vegetable capsule). Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant cellulose, and the shell itself. It is the reason the capsule suits a vegetarian diet where a gelatin shell would not.
• Vegetable stearate. The flow agent that keeps powder moving through encapsulation machinery rather than welding itself to the tooling. Without something in this role fill weights drift.
• Silicon dioxide. The anti-caking agent, which keeps the blend loose enough to fill each capsule evenly. Both of these are ordinary and both appear on a large share of the shelf.

Three lines, and on a seven-row panel that is a meaningful fraction of the document. The shell line is the one worth reading twice, because it is the one that changes who can take the product.

There is no colour, no sweetener, no flavouring and no preservative here, which follows from the format rather than from any virtue: a capsule is swallowed whole and needs none of them. A gummy version of the same formula would carry four or five additional lines for exactly that reason.

Three sources, one of which is the legal document and two of which are marketing.

A three-way comparison usually turns up a contradiction. This one turns up agreement, which is worth saying because it is the reverse of what a sceptical reader expects.

The seller’s ingredient graphic runs niacin, calcium, L-arginine base, L-arginine AKG 2:1, L-citrulline HCl and L-citrulline malate. Every one of those appears on the panel at the amount the panel gives. The graphic stops at 6 and the bottle adds beta-alanine at 40 mg, the smallest row on the label.

Where marketing artwork names fewer ingredients than the panel, the panel is the document that counts and the shorter list is simply a design decision. The failure mode worth worrying about is the opposite one, where a graphic names something the panel never mentions, and that is not what happens here.

The sales page is the outlier, and it is the reason this product is often described as an undisclosed blend. It names no ingredient. The bottle names seven with a figure against each, and the batch page sets out how to confirm the one in your hand matches.

A printed panel is the best document a supplement buyer gets, and it still leaves four questions open. Naming them here is the point of this section, and they are not repeated anywhere else on the site.

It does not certify that the capsule contains what the panel says. A label is a declaration by the manufacturer; an assay is a measurement by a laboratory. The testing page reads every seal on this pack one at a time and reports which of them speaks to that question.

It does not convert an extract weight into an active weight. The arginine AKG row is 200 mg of a 2:1 extract, and how much of that 200 mg is arginine depends on a specification the label does not carry.

It does not say anything about absorption. Two hundred milligrams swallowed is not 200 mg delivered, and for arginine specifically the gap is the whole reason citrulline appears on the same panel. Schwedhelm's pharmacokinetic work is the study that measured it.

And it says nothing about whether the amounts do anything. That question is answered by trials of each ingredient, which this website cites throughout at the doses they actually used: four grams a day and above for arginine, six to eight grams for citrulline malate, and four to six grams for beta-alanine.
