Is MemoHoney FDA approved? What the star on the label means
Is MemoHoney FDA approved? No. The FDA does not have the authority to approve dietary supplements for safety and effectiveness before they are sold, and that applies to every bottle. The star after "ADVANCED MEMORY SUPPORT*" leads to the FDA statement printed on the label.

Is MemoHoney FDA approved?
No, MemoHoney is not FDA approved, because the FDA does not approve dietary supplements before they are sold.
The FDA says it "does NOT have the authority to approve dietary supplements for safety and effectiveness, or to approve their labeling, before the supplements are sold" (FDA 101 supplements). The label never claims approval.
What does the star after the claim mean?
The star after "ADVANCED MEMORY SUPPORT*" points to the FDA statement printed on the label wrap.
That statement says the claims have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and that the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. A supplement may describe an effect on normal body structure or function, but only if it carries this wording (FDA structure/function claims). Naming a disease would make it a drug claim (FDA, Unproven Alzheimer products).
| Approval | A step for drugs after review; not for supplements |
|---|---|
| Star and FDA statement | Required wording; not a review |
| Facility registration | A maker may register a facility; this label does not mention it, and it would not approve the product |
If it is not approved, what has been checked?
For MemoHoney, nothing about the claims has been checked by the FDA, and no published trial has tested the product.
Studies of these ingredients used grams, not the milligrams on the label.
- Common claim“Improves memory and focus”NIA recommends no supplement for memory, the Cochrane review found no meaningful effect of vitamin and mineral strategies on decline, and no trial tested this capsule's amounts. (NIA, Cognitive health and older adults) (Rutjes 2018, Cochrane vitamins)
- Common claim“Boosts nitric oxide”A 12-person study gave arginine by vein (500 mg per kg) and brain blood flow rose 9.5%; it ran no memory test and says nothing about 200 mg by mouth. (Reutens 1997, arginine cerebral flow) (Toda 2009, NO and brain blood flow)
- Common claim“Targets the real causes of memory loss”NIA lists treatable contributors such as thyroid, kidney or liver problems, medicine side effects, depression, sleep problems and low vitamin B12. None is on the panel. (NIA, Memory problems and aging) (Lancet Commission 2024 (AE summary))
- Common claim“Natural, so safe”Arginine can drop blood pressure too far with nitrates and ED medicines, and in one trial 6 of 153 heart-attack patients on arginine died, against none on placebo. (Mayo Clinic, L-arginine) (Schulman 2006, VINTAGE MI)
- Label front“ADVANCED MEMORY SUPPORT*”A starred line. A supplement may describe an effect on normal body structure or function, but it must carry the FDA disclaimer; naming a disease such as dementia would make it a drug claim. (FDA structure/function claims) (FDA, Unproven Alzheimer products)
- Name“MemoHoney” and honeyThe name is a brand. The seven panel rows list no honey, and honey-named supplements have been a warning sign in FDA notices on other products. (MemoHoney label) (FDA tainted sexual products)
- Common question“Can it replace a medicine?”No. Do not stop or change a prescribed medicine because of a supplement. Memory problems that are new or getting worse need a clinician. (NIA, Memory problems and aging) (FDA 101 supplements)
Claims as commonly marketed for capsules like this, and the one line on the label front (MemoHoney label). Health claims in ads need competent and reliable scientific evidence (FTC health products guidance).

See the priceWhat should you do before taking an unapproved supplement?
Before taking any supplement, read the panel, check it against your medicines and tell a clinician or pharmacist.
FDA warns that problems can occur when you mix medicines and supplements (FDA 101 supplements). Arginine can lower blood pressure too far with nitrates, sildenafil-type medicines and blood pressure medicines. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you take any of those or blood thinners, or have had a heart attack. Keep taking prescribed medicine. Memory problems that are new, getting worse or getting in the way of daily life need a clinician. Chest pain, fainting or trouble breathing means 911. Report a bad reaction to the FDA (FDA report a problem). See the disclaimer.

FAQ
MemoHoney questions people ask
Does the FDA approve any dietary supplement?
No. Dietary supplements are not approved by the FDA for safety or effectiveness before sale. The agency can act after a product is on the market. This is true for MemoHoney and every other supplement.
Is MemoHoney made in an FDA-registered facility?
The label does not say. It states "Manufactured in the USA with globally sourced ingredients" and names no manufacturer or facility. We found no FDA registration or GMP statement, so we make no claim about either.
