MemoHoney Batch And Certificate References
Written by the Memoahoney Editorial Desk · Reviewed by Dr. Judith Leone-Friedman, neuropsychologist · Revised
Two reference numbers, and an honest account of what sits behind them. Which is not a laboratory report.
Quick answer
The MemoHoney material we were given records lot MEM-26/ME-7647 and certificate reference MEM-7647-26-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 with your order ID.
The documents this site was built from
Three images from the supplied set, captioned with what each one is worth.
What that means
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.
The two references
| Reference | Value | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Lot | MEM-26/ME-7647 | A draft label reference. No production record was published to us |
| Certificate | MEM-7647-26-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 |
What these numbers actually prove
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.
What we will not do
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.
How to check your own bottle
Look at the base
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.
Look for a panel at all
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 the website inbox listed in the footer. We will publish it and correct this site.
Check the seal before anything else
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.
Call the order desk to match a number
Ring the order desk with your order ID. That desk can connect a bottle to a purchase; this website cannot.
Call the distributor for product questions
the order desk, printed on the label for Gex Corporation LLP in Ogden, Utah. Different company, different job — product questions rather than orders.
The badges, and what each one is worth
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.
The people in the listing photographs
Published as supplied, so you can see the whole of what the listing shows.
What that means
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.
All sixteen marks, assessed one by one
FDA registered facility
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 an assessment of the product. No facility is named and no registration number is supplied. Note that this mark is on the listing, not on the bottle.
FDA registered, second mark
A second registration roundel in a different style, making the same administrative point twice. Neither names a facility.
GMP certified
Good Manufacturing Practice 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 formula whose doses are a fortieth of a studied amount.
Made in USA
Unqualified. The FTC reserves an unqualified claim for products that are “all or virtually all” made in the United States, with “no — or negligible — foreign content”. The bottle itself says Manufactured in the USA with globally sourced ingredients, which is the correctly qualified version. Where the two differ, the label governs.
USA manufacturing, second mark
A second origin mark on the listing, again unqualified, again in conflict with the qualified wording printed on the bottle.
GMO free
No certifying body is named and no certificate was supplied. Five of the seven ingredients are synthesised amino acids and one is a mineral salt, so the claim is not doing much work on this particular formula.
All natural
Natural has no regulatory definition for a dietary supplement. This one is carrying a formula of five isolated amino acid compounds, calcium carbonate and synthesised niacin, in a hypromellose capsule with silicon dioxide.
Vegetarian friendly
Consistent with the printed other-ingredients line: the capsule is hypromellose and the flow agents are vegetable stearate and silicon dioxide. This is the badge on the listing that the label actually supports.
Gluten free
Nothing on the printed ingredient list is a gluten source. No certifying body is named and no test was supplied.
Milk free
Again consistent with the printed list, and again with no certifying body named.
Physician formulated
<span class='t-warn'>No physician is named anywhere in the material supplied to us.</span> A white-coated figure appears in the pack in two images, neither captioned with a name, a qualification or an institution. We did not publish those two images, and we do not repeat the claim as a fact.
100% support guaranteed
A percentage with no object. It is not the refund figure, which the gold roundel and the brief both put at 60 days.
Pure guaranteed
Pure has no defined meaning here and no certificate of analysis was supplied. The brief supplies a CoA reference, MEM-7647-26-ME, and states in its own words that it is a draft label rather than lab proof.
Satisfaction guarantee
A third guarantee mark. All three point at the same 60-day purchase policy.
Third-party tested
No laboratory is named, no report number is given and no certificate was supplied to us. This site publishes no lab document it has not been sent.
If your bottle looks wrong
Do not take it. Photograph the seal, the panel and the base of the bottle, then call the order desk 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.
Why we publish this page at all
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.
What a real certificate of analysis contains
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.
MemoHoney Batch And Certificate References: common questions
What is the lot number?
MEM-26/ME-7647, with the certificate reference MEM-7647-26-ME. The pack's own note says these are draft labels rather than lab proof, and we publish them on that basis.
Where is the expiry date?
Not published in anything supplied to us. The brief says the lot and best-before appear on the base of the bottle when the bottle shows them.
Is it FDA approved?
No dietary supplement is. The FDA “does not have the authority to approve dietary supplements before they are marketed”. The listing's badge says a registered facility, which is an administrative filing about a factory rather than an assessment of the product.
Who makes it?
The manufacturer is not named. The label prints Distributed by: Instituto Experience, PO Box 12730, Ogden, UT 84404, with a telephone number and an email. 21 CFR 101.5 requires the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer or distributor, and permits a street address to be omitted only if it is shown in a current city or telephone directory. We could not verify that either way.
Which number do I call about an order?
The order desk’s number, listed in the footer. The website email, also in the footer, is for pages, typos, privacy and press — it cannot see orders.
