I Took MemoHoney Every Morning for 10 Weeks: Here Is My Honest Review

It started with small stuff. I'd put my reading glasses down and lose them inside a minute. I'd be halfway through a story on the phone with my sister and the name of the restaurant would just leave. Not come back later. Leave.

Then one Sunday I called my grandson by his cousin's name. Twice.

He's seven, so he thought it was the funniest thing that had ever happened. I laughed along, went into the bathroom, and cried.

I did what most people my age do. I bought the ginkgo. I did the crossword every single morning. I downloaded one of those brain game apps and played it until I got bored of it. None of it hurt, but I couldn't point to one thing any of it had changed.

What changed my thinking was a conversation with my niece, Beth. She's a nurse on a cardiac floor in Charlotte, and when I told her I was worried about my memory, she asked me something I didn't expect. She asked how my circulation was.

I didn't see what one had to do with the other. So she explained it the way she'd explain it to a patient.

Your brain is a small organ, but it burns roughly a fifth of your body's energy, and it doesn't keep a pantry. It lives off whatever your blood brings it, minute by minute. When that delivery gets sluggish, which happens to a lot of us as we get older, the brain doesn't break. It just runs on less.

She called it running the house on a dimmer switch. Everything still works. It's just not as bright.

That stuck with me.

In my own notes I started calling it the brain fuel lockout. The fuel's in your body, but less of it's getting through the door. Once I understood that, a lot of what I'd tried made less sense. A crossword can't fix a delivery problem.

So I went looking for something built around healthy circulation first and memory second. That's how I found MemoHoney.

The first time I saw it, I closed the tab. The video I landed on leaned on a famous name and some very big promises, and big promises make me nervous. I only came back a week later because I'd looked up the label, and the ingredients lined up with what Beth had told me.

The 60 day guarantee did the rest. I figured I'd rather find out than keep wondering.

This part's simple, which is one reason I stuck with it. The label says one capsule a day with an 8 oz glass of water, and for best results, 20 to 30 minutes before a meal.

I take mine before breakfast, right after I let the dog out. Same time, same glass, same spot on the counter. If I tie it to something I'm already doing, I don't forget it, which I know is a little ironic given why I'm taking it.

There's no taste and no smell. The capsule's small enough that I don't think about it.

A bottle has 30 capsules, so one bottle is one month. That matters when you're picking a kit, and I'll come back to it in the pricing section.

My one tip is to give it time. I didn't notice a thing in the first two weeks, and if I'd been buying a single bottle at a time, I'm pretty sure I'd have quit.

I went looking for the bad reviews on purpose. I always do. What I found split pretty neatly into two groups.

Group one: the bottle wasn't the real thing

A lot of the angriest complaints described things that didn't match what showed up at my door. A different capsule color. A broken seal. A bottle that "smelled weird." Mine came sealed, with plain white capsules and the same label you'll see on the official site.

When I looked closer, nearly every one of those complaints traced back to a marketplace listing, not the official store.

The cheapest listings and the worst reviews are the same listings. On this product, a low price isn't the bargain. It's the tell.

Group two: people who stopped too early

The second group's different, and I think they've got a fair point. They took it for a week or two, felt nothing, and wrote it off.

I get it. I felt nothing for two weeks too. If I'd bought one bottle, I might've written the same review. This isn't something that shows up on day three, and anyone telling you otherwise is overselling it.

So yes, that complaint's fair. It's also exactly why I'd never start with a single bottle.

It isn't magic, and it isn't fast. What I noticed came on gradually, which fits with how it's supposed to work. Circulation isn't something you flip on in a day.

If you've already done the puzzles and the ginkgo, this is a different angle. That's why it made sense to me when nothing else had.

MemoHoney is made from amino acids, a B vitamin and a mineral, at doses that are listed clearly on the label. It does not list any stimulants.

The label includes these cautions. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under the age of 18 and individuals with a known medical condition should consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing.

Arginine and citrulline are involved in blood vessel function. If you take blood pressure medication, heart medication or any other prescription on a regular basis, speak with your doctor before you start.

I showed the label to my own doctor at a regular checkup before I started, and I still see her on the same schedule. I would recommend doing the same.

There are three kits on the official website. Here's how they break down.

The math's pretty clear. The 6 bottle kit is $294, which is only $87 more than the 3 bottle kit, and you get twice the supply. Given how slowly things started for me, it's the one I'd pick again.

Every kit is a one time payment. There's no subscription and no auto shipping, and all three are covered by the same 60 day guarantee.

I started all this because I was scared of turning into my dad. I won't pretend a capsule settled that fear. But ten weeks in, I'm forgetting less, my mornings are clearer, and I've stopped bracing myself every time I reach for a name.

MemoHoney isn't perfect. The name's confusing, a small order is pricey, and you'll need some patience for the first few weeks. What it gets right is the stuff that matters to me: a clear label, a simple routine, and a guarantee that's long enough to actually test it.

If you've been where I was, this is the one I'd try. Start with the 6 bottle kit, buy it only from the official website, and give it the full 60 days.

My score: 9.7 out of 10.
