MemoryFuel Supplement Facts: The Panel Transcribed, Decoded and Checked Against the Ads

The panel, transcribed

This is the Supplement Facts panel from the maker's own label artwork, reproduced line for line. The jar in your hand should match it exactly; if it does not, see the jar inspection page.

Suggested use: As a dietary supplement, adults mix one (1) scoop with 6-8 oz. of water or favorite beverage daily. Caution: Do not exceed recommended dose.

The manufacturer block reads: Nutraville Pte Ltd, 10900 Research Blvd, Ste 160C PMB 1134, Austin, TX 78759, information line 1-302-251-2961, with the nutraville.com web address. The front reads "MemoryFuel, Brain Health Supplement", "Dietary Supplement", "Net Wt. 7.9 oz (224g)", with three structure-function lines: memory supports recall and retention, focus promotes clear thinking, clarity helps you stay sharp.

Line by line: what each number means

Federal rules require a supplement panel to list each dietary ingredient with its amount per serving, and to show a percent Daily Value for nutrients that have one; ingredients without a Daily Value get a symbol pointing to a footnote.^[1] Read with that in mind, each line tells you something.

The percentages check out arithmetically for vitamin D3 (50 / 20), B12 (25 / 2.4) and magnesium (300 / 420), which tells you those figures refer to the nutrient itself, as the rules require.^[2] The choline line is the outlier. Choline has had an FDA Daily Value of 550 mg since the label reform, so 300 mg of choline should appear as 55%. Printing a double asterisk instead suggests either an outdated label template or that 300 mg is the weight of the bitartrate salt, about 123 mg of actual choline. We describe this as an open question rather than an error because only the maker can settle it.^[8]

Scoop math: 224 g, 30 servings, 7.5 g each

Dividing the net weight by the number of servings gives 7.47 g per scoop. Of that, 5 g is creatine monohydrate. Magnesium glycinate probably accounts for another 1.5 to 2 g, since only part of the chelate's weight is magnesium. That leaves well under a gram for choline bitartrate, two vitamins, flavor, silica and stevia.

Two practical lessons follow. The first is that scoop technique matters more than with a light, fluffy powder: a heaped scoop can carry a gram or more extra, a scant one less, and creatine and magnesium move with it. Level the scoop against the rim each time. The second is that you can check your own scoop with an inexpensive kitchen scale that reads to 0.1 g; if your level scoop weighs between 7 and 8 g, you are in the intended range. Supplement makers must manufacture to the label's stated amounts under federal good manufacturing practice rules.^[4]

If the powder runs out noticeably before day 30, you are probably heaping; if it lasts well beyond, you are probably under-dosing. Either way, the jar's 30-serving count is a quiet audit of your technique.

The front and side panels decoded

"Brain Health Supplement" and the three icons. Memory, focus and clarity are structure-function statements, the kind supplements may make without FDA approval as long as they carry the disclaimer that the statements have not been evaluated and the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. The jar carries that disclaimer in a boxed panel.^[3]

"Made in the USA using foreign and U.S. ingredients." Final manufacturing happens domestically; raw materials such as creatine, vitamins and stevia may be imported, as they are for most supplements. Much of the world's creatine monohydrate is produced in China and Germany.

GMP seal and "Manufactured in an FDA registered facility." The GMP mark signals the maker's claim to follow 21 CFR Part 111; no third-party certifier is named. FDA registration means the facility is listed with the agency. Neither statement means the FDA has reviewed or approved the product.^[4][3]

Nutraville Pte Ltd and the PMB address. "Pte Ltd" is a private limited company suffix used in Singapore, and "PMB" stands for private mailbox, a mail-handling address common among online brands. The Austin address is therefore a correspondence point rather than a factory. The information line uses a 302 (Delaware) area code. None of this is unusual for a direct-to-consumer brand, but it explains why returns go to a fulfillment warehouse in Ohio rather than to Austin.

Where the adverts and the label disagree

The label is the document the maker is legally accountable for. When marketing copy says something different, believe the jar.

Federal endorsement guides expect advertising claims and testimonials to be truthful and typical.^[13] We list these mismatches not to call the product fake, but because buyers deserve to know which statements are backed by the jar.

What a certificate of analysis would add

A certificate of analysis is a lab report for a specific lot. For a creatine-based powder, a useful CoA would show the measured amount of each active compared with the label, heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury), microbial limits, and creatine-specific impurities: creatinine, dicyandiamide and dihydrotriazine. Reputable creatine raw materials are typically more than 99% pure.^[9][10]

Nutraville has not published a CoA for MemoryFuel, and this desk has not commissioned testing, so we print no figures. If purity matters to you, email [email protected] with the lot and date code from your jar and ask for that lot's certificate. A maker following 21 CFR Part 111 must hold specifications and test results for each batch, so the request is reasonable.^[4]

Using the panel when you already take other supplements

The most practical use of a Supplement Facts panel is adding it to what you already take. Many MemoryFuel buyers are over 50 and already use a multivitamin, a vitamin D softgel or a magnesium product for sleep or cramps. Three lines on this panel are worth tallying before the first scoop.

Vitamin D is the line most likely to creep up unnoticed, because it hides in multivitamins, calcium chews and fortified drinks. Staying under 100 mcg a day from all supplements is the conservative target unless a doctor is treating a measured deficiency.^[5] Magnesium is the line most likely to cause a symptom: above the 350 mg supplemental limit, loose stools are common, and people with reduced kidney function should not exceed it at all.^[7] B12 has no established upper limit and is the least concern.^[6]

Creatine and choline rarely overlap with other products, with two exceptions: sports drinks or pre-workout powders that already contain creatine, and "brain" capsules with citicoline or alpha-GPC. If you use either, you are doubling an ingredient; the scoop is designed to be the only creatine source of the day.

Storage, shelf life and stability

Dry creatine monohydrate is very stable; studies of the powder show little degradation over years at room temperature. Once dissolved, creatine slowly cyclizes into creatinine, faster in warm or acidic liquids, which is why the label pairs one scoop with one glass and why mixing the night before is a poor idea.^[9]

The weak point of any powder is moisture. Creatine and magnesium glycinate both attract water, and silica is in the formula precisely to resist caking.^[11] Keep the lid closed, the scoop dry and the jar away from steam. Clumps can be broken up with a dry spoon; discoloration, a sour smell or a broken inner seal on arrival are reasons to contact the maker. Stevia and natural flavors are stable in dry form.^[12]
