HoneyPezil Results: How Anyone Can Judge a Supplement Fairly

The claims around HoneyPezil go further than the evidence we found.

1. Front of the label“Advanced Memory Support*”The asterisk leads to the FDA statement: not evaluated, not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. The maker must have evidence for a claim like this, but FDA does not approve it first. We found no study of this formula for any outcome. (FDA, Structure/function claims) (NIA, Cognitive health and older adults)
2. Sales page headline“HoneyPezil is the best option for supporting brain health, improving memory and focus in a natural way”'Best option' and 'improving' are claims that need human tests of the same product. We found none. NIA says no vitamin or supplement is recommended for preventing cognitive decline, and the Global Council on Brain Health could not endorse any brain health supplement. (FTC, Health Products Compliance Guidance) (Global Council on Brain Health, Brain health supplements)
3. Sales page“Directly targets the real causes of memory loss”No source ties the seven label lines to the causes of memory loss. Real, treatable causes include some medicines, sleep apnea, an underactive thyroid, low vitamin B-12, stress, depression and alcohol. A doctor finds them; a capsule does not. (Mayo Clinic, Memory loss: when to seek help)
4. Sales page“Produced in the United States in an FDA-registered facility”The label says 'Manufactured in the USA with globally sourced ingredients' and names a distributor, not a plant. Registration with FDA is not approval, and a badge on a web page is not an inspection result. (FDA, Q&A on Dietary Supplements) (21 CFR Part 111 (eCFR))
5. Sales page“No significant side effects have been reported by users”A seller statement we cannot check. Arginine has known cautions with blood pressure medicine, nitrates, blood thinners and diabetes medicine, and one small trial in older adults with heart risk went the wrong way. Report a reaction to FDA. (Mayo Clinic, L-arginine) (Beckman 2018, Arginine and executive function in older adults) (FDA, MedWatch)
6. Sales page directions“Take 2 capsules per day”The bottle label says one capsule a day. This site follows the label, and so should you. If the bottle you receive says something different, call the order desk before you take it.
7. Sales page FAQVitamins B6, C and E, DMAE and bacopaNone of these is on the Supplement Facts panel of the supplied label. We do not print them as this bottle's contents. The label-mismatch page explains the three versions of the formula.

Claims as printed on the brand panels. Health claims in ads need competent and reliable scientific evidence, generally human trials of the same product (FTC, Health Products Compliance Guidance).
