Two reference numbers, and an honest account of what sits behind them. Which is not a laboratory report.
The Memocept material we were given records lot MEM-26/ME-2440 and certificate reference MEM-2440-26-ME. The same document states that both are draft labels rather than lab proof. No laboratory report, testing house or analytical result was published to us behind either reference, and we have published no test data because there is none to publish. To match a number on your bottle to an order, call the order desk on +1 (507) 448-8190 with your order ID.
Three images from the supplied set, captioned with what each one is worth.
The first is the only document that matters and it is a good one. The second is the one to be careful about: a bar of four publication logos with no paper, author, date or finding attached to any of them. A logo is not a citation, and every source on our references page was opened and read before it was quoted.
| Reference | Value | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Lot | MEM-26/ME-2440 | A draft label reference. No production record was published to us |
| Certificate | MEM-2440-26-ME | A draft label reference. No certificate of analysis was published to us |
| Testing laboratory | Not published | No laboratory is named anywhere in the material |
| Test date | Not published | |
| What was tested | Not published | No assay, no potency result, no contaminant screen |
| Expiry / best before | Not printed | Check the base of your own bottle |
On their own, nothing about what is in the bottle.
A lot number is a production reference. It lets a manufacturer trace a batch and, if something goes wrong, recall it. That is genuinely useful and it is not a quality claim.
A certificate of analysis is a different object entirely: a laboratory document stating what was tested, by whom, on what date, with what result. A reference number that looks like a certificate number is not a certificate. We were given a reference and no document.
The brief is unusually candid about this, and the candour is worth quoting: it says the lot and the certificate reference are draft labels, not lab proof. We have taken it at its word and published no test data, because there is none.
We will not produce a certificate of analysis, name a laboratory, or print a test result that nobody gave us. A fabricated lab document is worse than no document, because it converts a gap into a false reassurance.
The brief says the lot and best-before appear on the base of the bottle when the bottle shows them. That is the only place your own batch reference will be.
This is the one we would most like to hear about. If your bottle carries a Supplement Facts panel, photograph it and send it to [email protected]. We will publish it and correct this site.
The label says do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. If it is, photograph it and call before you open the bottle.
+1 (507) 448-8190 with your order ID. That desk can connect a bottle to a purchase; this website cannot.
the order desk, printed on the label for Gex Corporation LLP in Ogden, Utah. Different company, different job — product questions rather than orders.
The listing carries sixteen marks. Exactly one of them has a number behind it that we could confirm, and three of them are supported by the printed panel. They are not the same badges.
The money-back guarantee is the one with a number: 60 days from purchase, given in the brief, and the only guarantee we can state.
Three more are supported by the label rather than by a certificate: vegetarian, gluten free and milk free. The printed other-ingredients line names hypromellose, vegetable stearate and silicon dioxide, and none of those is a gluten source, a dairy source or an animal product. That is not a certification, but it is a checkable fact, which is more than most badges offer.
The rest — FDA-registered facility twice, GMP certified, two Made in USA roundels, GMO free, all natural, pure guaranteed, satisfaction guaranteed, 100% support guaranteed, physician formulated and third-party tested — have no certificate, no certifying body and no named laboratory behind them in anything we were given. Several are plausible. None is verified. The physician-formulated one names no physician, and the third-party-tested one names no laboratory.
Published as supplied, so you can see the whole of what the listing shows.
None of these is presented as a customer of this product. The images in the pack that were — two polaroid sets of identifiable people holding the bottle — are listed unpublished on our testing and quality page, with the reason.
The best-evidenced mark in the set and the only one with a number behind it: 60 days from purchase, per the brief, unless the sales page prints a longer window. It is a purchase policy, not a medical promise, and it is claimed by telephone with the order ID.
The factory filed a registration. The FDA “does not have the authority to approve dietary supplements before they are marketed”, so this is an administrative filing rather than any assessment of the product. No facility is named and no registration number is supplied. Note that this mark is on the listing, not on either bottle.
GMP is a process standard about how a facility runs. No certifying body is named and no certificate was supplied to us. A GMP-compliant factory can competently bottle a blend whose contents are undeclared.
The artwork on this roundel does not say Made in USA; it says Foreign and Domestic Ingredients. That agrees with the purple label's own qualified statement, Manufactured in the USA with globally sourced ingredients, and it is the honest version of an origin claim for a product with imported material in it.
A second roundel carrying the same qualified wording at a larger size. Two of the three origin marks in this pack are correctly qualified.
<span class='t-warn'>The third origin mark, and the one that does not match.</span> As an unqualified claim the FTC reserves it for products that are “all or virtually all” made in the United States with “no — or negligible — foreign content”. The label beside it says the ingredients are globally sourced. The phrase is also ungrammatical.
No certifying body is named and no certificate was supplied. On the teal formula this would have to cover a green coffee extract, four botanicals and three synthesised vitamins; on the purple one, five synthesised amino acids and a mineral salt.
Natural has no regulatory definition for a dietary supplement. The mark is carrying, depending on which bottle arrives, either three synthesised vitamins and an extract blend or five isolated amino acid compounds and calcium carbonate.
Nothing on either printed ingredient list is a gluten source. No certifying body is named and no test was supplied. The teal label's rice flour is not one.
Consistent with both printed lists, and again with no certifying body named.
Consistent with the printed other-ingredients lines: both name hypromellose as the capsule. The teal label's magnesium stearate and the purple label's vegetable stearate are both plant-compatible as usually sourced, though neither label says so. This is the badge the labels best support.
<span class='t-warn'>No doctor is named anywhere in the material supplied to us.</span> No name, no qualification, no institution. We do not repeat the claim as a fact, and we have not captioned any photograph in this pack as a clinician.
Do not take it. Photograph the seal, the panel and the base of the bottle, then call the order desk on +1 (507) 448-8190 with the order ID. A bottle that does not match the panel published here is a question for the distributor on the order desk as well.
Because a lot number and a certificate reference look like evidence, and a reader who sees them on a listing deserves to know what sits behind them. On this product the honest answer is a pair of reference strings and no laboratory document, and the material we were given says so itself.
A laboratory name and address. A date. A sample identifier that ties the document to a specific batch. A list of what was tested for. The method used for each test. The result of each test, with units. And a signature or an authorising name.
None of those exists in anything we were given for this product. What we have is a Lab Tested mark with a microscope icon on the label, a reference string of the shape a certificate number takes, SOD-6271-26-SO, and a note in the same document describing it as a draft label rather than lab proof.
That note is unusually honest and we have taken it at face value. The alternative — printing the reference on a page under a heading like Lab Verified — would convert an absence of evidence into the appearance of evidence, which is the single most common dishonesty in this category.
If a certificate is ever published for this product, this page will carry it, with the laboratory named and the date printed. Until then this page carries the honest version, which is shorter and less impressive.
Not on the artwork supplied to us. The brief says the lot and best-before appear on the base of the bottle when the bottle shows them. The lot reference given is MEM-26/ME-2440.
We cannot tell you that, and neither can the teal label, because it does not say how much of anything is in it. What we can do is list the specific cautions our sources record and let you take them to a clinician: the huperzine and cholinesterase-inhibitor interaction, the rhodiola and losartan interaction, and the caffeine question.
No dietary supplement is. The FDA states that it “does not have the authority to approve dietary supplements before they are marketed.” The badge on the listing says FDA registered facility, which means a factory filed a registration — an administrative step, not an assessment of this product.
No manufacturer is named on either label. The teal label says Distributed by: LOJA EXPERIENCE LTDA, Aurora, CO 80011. The purple label says DISTRIBUTED BY: GEX CORPORATION LLP, PO BOX 12730, OGDEN, UT 84404. Two companies, two states, and a third name — OVICIA — on the bottle renders.
There is only one in this pack: +1 (507) 448-8190. It is printed on the purple label and it is the number the brief gives for orders, tracking, changes and refunds. The teal label prints no telephone number at all.
One bottle is 30 capsules at one a day, so a bottle is thirty days and the 60-day guarantee still has thirty left to run when it ends. The guarantee runs from purchase, not from delivery, and the price is shown at checkout.
