Editorial Policy and Review Methodology

Every claim on this site is traceable to one of three things: the printed Supplement Facts panel, published human research, or a policy the seller has published. If a claim cannot be traced to one of those, we do not publish it.

How we assess a supplement

1. Read the panel first. Ingredients and amounts before any marketing copy.
2. Convert every salt form. Arginine AKG 2:1 is roughly 57–60% arginine; citrulline malate roughly 56–60% citrulline; citrulline HCl about 85%. Free-compound amounts are what the body sees.
3. Find the research intake. For each ingredient, the amount used in published human trials — and, critically, the endpoint it was studied for.
4. Check the endpoint, not just the dose. An ingredient studied for exercise performance is not evidence for memory, at any dose. This step is where most supplement reviews stop short.
5. Publish the gap. Whether it flatters the product or not.
6. Check the commercial terms. Pricing, guarantee wording, distributor identity and the claims made by competing sellers.
7. Medical review. A pharmacist checks dose figures, interaction notes and safety wording.
8. Date it. Every page carries a published and updated date.

Our sourcing standards

We cite primary sources — government health agencies, peer-reviewed research indexes and regulator guidance. We do not cite other affiliate pages, and we do not treat a seller's claim as evidence for itself. The sources we lean on most often:

• NIH Office of Dietary Supplements — Niacin
• NIH ODS — supplements for exercise and performance
• MedlinePlus — L-arginine
• NCCIH — dietary and herbal supplements
• National Institute on Aging — memory loss and forgetfulness
• FDA — dietary supplements
• FTC — health products compliance guidance
• Alzheimer's Association — alternative treatments

On competitor claims

Where we describe what another MemoHoney page publishes, we describe only what is verifiable on that page at the time of writing — the ingredient list it prints, the dosage figures it declines to print, the company name and address it gives. We draw no conclusion about anyone's intent. Where our reading of the label differs from theirs, we say so and show the label.

Corrections

If a dose figure, price or policy statement here is wrong, tell us via the contact page and we will correct it and note the change. Labels, pricing and guarantee terms change without notice, which is why every page tells you to confirm at checkout and to read the panel on the bottle you receive.

What our reviews are not

They are not medical advice and they are not a substitute for talking to a pharmacist or doctor about your own situation and medication. They are not clinical trials of the finished product — no such trial exists for this formula, and we say so rather than implying otherwise. And they are not a substitute for a memory assessment: if you or someone close to you is experiencing genuine memory difficulty, that belongs with a clinician.

Independence

We earn affiliate commission on qualifying purchases. No manufacturer reviews, approves or pays for our content, and no brand has editorial input. The critical findings published here — the absent memory ingredients, the salt-form arithmetic, the impossible tingle, the distributor discrepancy — are all findings a brand-controlled page would have removed.
