How Do You Read the Memodyne Supplement Facts, Dosage and Directions?
Quick answer
One Memodyne capsule lists niacin 7.5 mg NE, calcium 18 mg, L-arginine 200 mg, L-arginine AKG 200 mg, L-citrulline HCl 100 mg, L-citrulline malate 100 mg and beta alanine 40 mg. The label says take one capsule a day with 8 oz of water, 20 to 30 minutes before a meal. Never exceed that dose.
A supplement label packs a lot into a small box. Units, percentages, stars and a footnote all sit in a few lines. If you have ever looked at one and thought, I do not know what half of this means, you are in good company.
This page reads the Memodyne bottle from top to bottom. We take the Supplement Facts row by row, then the dosage directions, then the caution and storage lines. Every number here is printed on the bottle or is plain arithmetic from it.
Key facts
- Serving size is 1 capsule. A bottle holds 30 servings and 30 capsules.
- Seven rows list amounts. Only niacin (47% DV) and calcium (1.5% DV) print a percentage.
- The five amino acid rows show ** because a Daily Value is not established for them.
- The printed rows add up to 665.5 mg per capsule: 640 mg of amino acids, 7.5 mg of niacin and 18 mg of calcium.
- Directions: one capsule daily with an 8 oz glass of water, 20 to 30 minutes before a meal, or as your healthcare professional directs.
- Caution: do not exceed the recommended dose. Pregnant or nursing, under 18 or with a known medical condition: see a physician first.
- No allergen line is printed. The form of niacin and the exact arginine share of the AKG row are not published.
What do the seven rows on the Supplement Facts panel say?
Here is the panel as printed, in the label's order and spelling.
| Row on the label | Amount per serving | %DV |
|---|---|---|
| Niacin | 7.5 mg NE | 47% |
| Calcium (as calcium carbonate) | 18 mg | 1.5% |
| L-arginine (base) | 200 mg | ** |
| L-arginine AKG 2:1 extract | 200 mg | ** |
| L-citrulline HCl | 100 mg | ** |
| L-citrulline malate | 100 mg | ** |
| Beta alanine | 40 mg | ** |
Other ingredients are hypromellose (a vegetable capsule), vegetable stearate and silicon dioxide. There is no proprietary blend, so every amount is printed. No caffeine or other stimulant is listed.
What do NE, %DV and ** mean?
They are three bits of label shorthand. None grades quality. They say how a row is measured and whether an official daily target exists.
- NE means niacin equivalents. Adult needs are written the same way: 16 mg NE for men and 14 mg NE for women, and the Daily Value is 16 mg (NIH ODS, Niacin (health professional)). So 7.5 mg NE is a little under half a day's need, which is where 47% comes from.
- %DV compares a row with one official daily amount. Only vitamins and minerals have one. The label prints 1.5% for its 18 mg of calcium, against a 1,300 mg Daily Value for adults (NIH ODS, Calcium (health professional)).
- ** sits where a percentage would go on all five amino acid rows. It means "Daily Value (DV) not established". It is not a warning and not a sign that something is hidden.
Why does the label list arginine and citrulline twice?
Each amino acid appears once as a plain form and once bound to a partner molecule. The partner adds weight, so the true amount of amino acid is lower than the printed total.
| Label row | What it is | Effect on the real amount |
|---|---|---|
| L-arginine (base) | Plain arginine | 200 mg of arginine |
| L-arginine AKG 2:1 extract | Arginine bound to alpha-ketoglutarate | Part of the 200 mg is the partner, so less than 200 mg of arginine |
| L-citrulline HCl | Citrulline as a hydrochloride salt | Less than 100 mg of citrulline |
| L-citrulline malate | Citrulline bound to malic acid | Less than 100 mg of citrulline |
| Beta alanine | A plain amino acid | 40 mg |
So arginine adds up to under 400 mg and citrulline to under 200 mg. No source we read gives the exact split for the AKG form, so we do not guess a number. For scale, arginine was studied at 4 to 24 g a day for blood pressure (RxList, L-Arginine (supplement monograph)).

How many Memodyne capsules should you take a day?
One. The label says take one (1) capsule daily and "Do not exceed recommended dose". There are no pills or drops in the pack. The product is a capsule, and a bottle of 30 lasts 30 days.
A bigger dose is not allowed by the label, and it would not reach the research doses anyway. Plain division shows that reaching 4 g of arginine would take more than 10 capsules, and 4 g of beta alanine would take 100. Gram doses also bring their own trouble, so that is a talk for your doctor, not a plan to try at home.
Missed a day? Skip it and take one capsule the next day. Never take two to catch up.
When is the best time to take Memodyne?
The label asks for 20 to 30 minutes before a meal, with 8 oz of water. The brand's website words it more loosely, "preferably in the morning before a meal". Taking it before breakfast satisfies both.
If breakfast is rushed, pick the meal you never miss. A steady habit is easier to keep than a perfect hour, and no study has tested one time of day against another for this formula.
If you take thyroid medicine, ask a pharmacist about spacing. Calcium carbonate can reduce levothyroxine absorption (NIH ODS, Calcium (consumer)). With 18 mg of calcium the effect is small, but the question costs nothing to ask.
What do the caution and storage lines mean in practice?
| Label line | Plain meaning | In practice |
|---|---|---|
| Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and light | Heat, damp and sun can spoil capsules | A cupboard, not a sunny sill or a car |
| Do not exceed recommended dose | One capsule a day is the top | Never two to make up a skipped day |
| Pregnant or nursing, under 18, known medical condition | Ask a physician before starting | Bring a photo of this label to the visit |
| Keep out of reach of children | Standard for any supplement | Close the cap after each use |
| Do not use if safety seal is damaged or missing | Check before the first capsule | Photograph a broken seal and contact the order desk |
The label gives no temperature figure and no expiry date on the flat artwork. Look for a date on the bottle itself.
What does the label leave out?
A label is a promise about contents. These items are not printed or not published:
- The form of niacin, which decides flushing risk.
- The exact arginine and citrulline share inside the salt rows.
- The manufacturer. The label names a distributor, Gex Corporation LLP of Ogden, Utah.
- A public lab report for any lot.
- Any study of the finished formula.

Frequently asked questions
What is in one Memodyne capsule?
Niacin 7.5 mg NE, calcium 18 mg, L-arginine 200 mg, L-arginine AKG 2:1 200 mg, L-citrulline HCl 100 mg, L-citrulline malate 100 mg and beta alanine 40 mg.
How many Memodyne capsules a day should I take?
One. The label says one capsule daily and not to exceed the recommended dose.
When should I take Memodyne?
The label says 20 to 30 minutes before a meal with 8 oz of water. Before breakfast fits both the label and the brand's website.
Why do five rows show ** instead of a percentage?
Arginine, citrulline and beta alanine have no official Daily Value, so the label prints ** and the footnote says the Daily Value is not established.
Does Memodyne come as pills or drops?
The label and the brand's pages describe a capsule. A bottle holds 30 capsules.
Does the label say who makes Memodyne?
No. It says manufactured in the USA with globally sourced ingredients and names a distributor, Gex Corporation LLP, not a maker.
Our view
Our view: the label is the best-written part of Memodyne's paperwork. Seven rows, seven printed amounts, no blend, no stimulant. That makes it easy to compare with research, which is where the claims lose force.
Read the panel for what it is: an honest list of contents. Then judge the promises on the evidence, not on the packaging. Follow the bottle's directions, not an e-book or an ad.
