It's time for my Memotex review – which is a brain & blood sugar support product.
However, it has some unique features (and not in the good way):
- pretty basic formula
- literally astounding price
So could this supplement be a scam? Given its huge cost, I'm pretty sure.
For this reason – I analyzed it in detail, so here's the truth behind.
Note: This review is based on my opinion + research on Memotex.
Review Summary
Full Name: Memotex from Gold Leaf Nutritionals
Product Type: Cognitive Supplement
Best Actual Price: About $400/bottle
Cheapest Place To Buy: Only available on its official website
Designed For: Better memory support
As I said – it also claims to maintain a normal blood sugar level and a healthy weight.
My Rating: 2 out of 10 – It might be a scam
Recommended?: Definitely not – it costs an actual fortune:
- formula is based on only 4 ingredients
- no authentic user opinions
- priciest nootropic I cam across
Instead – I recommend a much cheaper alternative that has a better composition.
What I Liked About It
- Only requires 2 pills per day
- Capsules are quite easy to swallow
- Side effects are pretty rare (on paper)
What I Didn't Like About It
- Only contains 4 active ingredients
- None of its compounds is known for its cognitive/diabetes benefits
- No reviews outside its official website
- Its existing reviews seem quite biased
- The most expensive cognitive product I know
- Really bad quality/price ratio
Memotex – A Quick Overview
What makes this supplement special is its price.
And I'm saying this in the most negative way – because it's the most expensive nootropic I know:
- its actual value should be under $40
- its current price is $400/bottle
So in terms of quality/price, I would rate it the lowest possible.
From other points of view – it's not that bad, though.
It's one of the few supplements I know that is designed for 2 different issues:
- Memory and cognitive boost
- Blood sugar support
However – this doesn't compensate for its poor value (as a supplement).
So it's among those nootropics that I would not recommend in any circumstances.
It's simply not a good choice in any form.
#1 – Claims & Producer
I will start by giving you some general info on this supplement:
- how exactly it works
- what issues it's designed for
- who is the company behind it
1. Claims
Memotex doesn't have a lot of praises on its official website.
It only claims to support 3 issues:
- a strong, sharp brain
- healthy blood sugar
- healthy weight
Also – there is almost no info about what it can do on its official page.
So from this point of view, it doesn't look like a very promising nootropic.
I personally doubt its benefits are very potent.
2. Company Behind
Memotex's producer is Gold Leaf Nutritionals.
I recently reviewed another supplement made by this brand.
It's called Brain Support Plus and it has similar issues to Memotex.
Getting to Gold Leaf Nutritionals:
- seems a trustworthy company overall
- however, its products are quite expensive
So it's not the kind of brand that would charge your credit card without your approval.
But given that its prices are huge, I can't say I'm a big fan of this brand.
#2 – Formula (6 out of 10)
In my opinion, Memotex's composition isn't very potent:
- only contains 4 active ingredients
- none of them are well known for their cognitive benefits
Basically – it lacks classic nootropics (like Bacopa Monnieri, Phosphatidylserine, etc.).
And out of its existing compounds, none has a major cognitive benefit.
That's why I don't trust this formula too much.
Now – let's take a closer look at its main ingredients:
1. Chromium (500 mcg)
This is a well-known mineral with an essential effect in the human body.
However, it's quite uncommon in cognitive supplements.
Since Memotex is also designed for a healthy blood sugar support – chromium mostly helps with that:
- increases insulin function
- prevents diabetes [1]
- might help maintain a healthy weight
Chromium also seems to boost memory and focus (but further evidence is necessary).
2. Green Tea Leaf Extract (375 mg)
This herb is one of the best antioxidants.
So its cognitive and brain boosting benefits are quite obvious [2]:
- promotes clear thinking
- fights free radicals and oxidative stress
- improves memory and attention
Also – green tea is helpful when it comes to blood sugar and a risk of diabetes.
3. Optimized Curcumin (200 mg)
Curcumin is one of the best natural anti-inflammatory.
But in Memotex – it's mostly used for its antioxidant proprieties and anti-brain aging. [3]
However, its concentration isn't the best:
- it's optimized to min. 23% curcuminoides
- most supplements are optimized to min. 95% curcuminoides
So from this point of view – Memotex's version of curcumin isn't the best.
4. GlucoHelp® Banaba Leaf Extract (28 mg)
Banaba is one of the best natural remedies against diabetes. [4]
Though its benefits are not fully confirmed – it's definitely very helpful:
- controls blood sugar levels
- decreases oxidative stress
- maintains a healthy weight
- reduces heart disease risk
In terms of cognitive benefits, though – Banaba isn't very effective.
Conclusion
Memotex's formula is surely not the best (especially for a cognitive supplement).
It surely has its own benefits.
But it's hard for a product to be both a cognitive and a blood sugar supplement.
If you're looking for a product that can help with both – Memotex can help as a formula.
But as a brain supplement alone, I would surely not recommend it.
#3 – Pills & Dosage (9 out of 10)
Here's what you should know about Memotex here.
1. The Pills
As many nootropics – this supplement is designed as capsules:
- average dimensions
- transparent gelatin cover
- easy to take
In general, swallowing this kind of pills shouldn't be a problem.
2. The Dosage
According to the label, this product's serving size is 1 pill/day.
However – it's the same label that recommends taking 2 servings per day.
This means the daily dose is 2 pills, which is quite typical.
Some nootropics require even 5-7 pills every day, so 2 is quite easy.
#4 – Results (5 out of 10)
The best way to see whether a supplement works or not is by looking at its customer feedback.
And that's exactly what I did with Memotex as well.
Note: I only considered authentic reviews, not promotional ones.
1. What People Say
As with the other product from Gold Leaf Nutritionals, Memotex doesn't look great here.
That's because it doesn't have any opinion outside its official website.
And the few reviews from its official page look quite biased.
So I personally would not trust them – but it's totally up to you:
- Some say it made a big difference for their memory.
- Others claim their focus improved a lot.
- One person even mentions the product improved his mood.
Overall – there are only about 4 opinions, which is quite little.
And if you ask me, these reviews are not 100% legit.
But it's up to you whether you believe them or not.
Conclusion
Memotex's customer feedback is quite poor:
- no reviews outside its official website
- the existing reviews might not be authentic
So from this point of view, it's not a product I would recommend.
Given its huge price, I would have expected many complaints on this topic.
Since there wasn't absolutely any, it's obvious there is something wrong with it.
So I personally recommend a cheaper alternative with a much better formula.
#5 – Side Effects (9 out of 10)
From my point of view, Memotex is quite a safe supplement:
- its doses are among the average limits
- not based on experimental ingredients
- should be well-tolerated
Now – it's true that some people can experience certain side effects.
But there shouldn't be anything major.
Since there are no real user reviews at this chapter, it's quite hard to tell for sure.
But overall – I consider Memotex pretty safe on paper.
#6 – Price (1 out of 10)
At this point – Memotex is definitely the most expensive cognitive supplement I know.
I personally can't believe someone would pay so much on a product of this type.
That's why I was so shocked to see what it actually costs.
1. The Exact Price
Basically – Memotex's standard price is nothing less than $399/bottle.
If this seems shocking to you, it's totally normal – that was my reaction as well:
- Shipping is free in all cases.
- Price gets a bit better if you buy the product in bulk.
- In the best case, it costs around $315/bottle.
Now – even $315 is an astounding price for a supplement like this.
Given that it only contains 4 (pretty basic) ingredients, this price is more than exaggerated.
That's why I could consider Memotex a scam – at least in terms of price.
2. Competitors' Price
I will only compare Memotex is my #1 recommended cognitive product.
I'm talking about a supplement called Mind Lab Pro:
- Memotex's formula is pretty basic overall.
- Mind Lab Pro has one of the best compositions among nootropics.
- Memotex costs $400/bottle normally.
- In the best case, you can get it for about $315.
- On the other hand, Mind Lab Pro costs $65 normally.
- In the best case, it costs around $49/bottle.
Basically – compared to Memotex, Mind Lab Pro is 100x better.
It's a lot more effective and potent, but it also has a much lower price.
It's actually the best nootropic I know in terms of quality/price.
So compared to it, Memotex is definitely a scam at this chapter.
Conclusion
Overall – Memotex is surely incredibly pricey.
As I said, it's definitely the priciest nootropic I came across.
So from this point of view – it's a supplement I could not recommend at any point.
There's simply no way to spend an actual fortune for a bottle of this product.
#7 – Final Conclusions
Here's how I would sum up my opinion on Memotex in 3 ideas.
1. Formula Could Be Better
In my view – a product that only contains 4 ingredients isn't amazing.
That especially if it's meant for 2 different issues:
- cognitive boost
- blood sugar support
That's why I don't consider its formula amazing.
Besides – out of its 4 compounds, none is famous for its cognitive/diabetes benefits.
2. Possibly Biased Reviews
This is a common problem of many nootropics:
- they are only sold on their official websites
- that's the only place where you can find some reviews on them
- however, most seem very biased
That's the case of Memotex as well.
There are only 4 opinions on its official page – but all are highly praising the product.
That's why I don't believe they are trustworthy.
3. Priciest Product Ever
That's the most shocking thing about Memotex.
At $400/bottle, it's definitely the most expensive nootropic I came across.
So that's the main reason why it might be a scam.
Its composition isn't too bad – but it's not worth even $40, how come $400?
My Verdict – Worth It Or Not?
Short answer: 100% not worth it.
In fact – I personally consider it a scam, due to its incredible price.
At $400, I doubt somebody would be willing to pay that much for it.
Especially since we're talking about a supplement whose formula isn't even worth $40 (in my view).
And there's more:
- Its composition is pretty basic (only 4 ingredients).
- You can only get it on its official page.
- There are no reviews about it online.
- The opinions from its official website seem biased.
Now – these issues are not that major, to tell you honestly.
But its exaggerated price can't be compensated by anything.
So there's no way I could recommend Memotex at any point.
What do I recommend instead? The best nootropic I know (Mind Lab Pro):
- one of the best formulas from the market
- very affordable
- helpful for most brain issues (including depression/anxiety)
So if you want to spend your money wisely – Memotex is surely not an option.

Is organic MCT oil better than MindMD? I give my wife MCT. She is in the nursing home with alzheimer’s.
Hi Stan, you can give both to your wife, they are some totally different products so they’re not doing the same thing – that’s why they can help if associated. But to answer your question, MCT oil is usually extracted from coconut oil. MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides, which are not necessarily designed for cognition/memory. They have several benefits (which include improved memory), but that’s not what they are designed for.
Anyway, MCT oil will surely not harm your wife – and neither will MindMD. But if she already has Alzheimer, I don’t know how much these products could help. Alzheimer has no cure unfortunately, so they can at most prevent the progress of the disease, which can be helpful if your wife has an early form. But they cannot reverse the condition, so it’s up to you whether you think they are worth trying or not.
I would like to object with your verdict of this product. This product is something that I have used before and worked for me though it is not that big of a change as they claim to be. So, I would like to say that this is not a scam–for me at least. Fortunately, I do not really have a problem with money so I am able to afford this one. However, I still changed product because it really gives me not that much. Though I was pretty disappointed, I think that life is just like that so there is not much we can do but look for other alternatives.
Hi Denise, I’m Angelica! I absolutely agree with you on finding solutions and not sticking to the things that doesn’t give you more than its worth. Though I’m glad that it somehow worked for you, I think that based on your comment, its not worth it because you were still forced to find better products. Have you found a better alternative yet? If you’re interested, we actually found a lot of better supplements to improve cognition. All has a better pricing and effect with little to no side effect. However, although I say so, Brain C-13 easily takes the cake for this. It is the most affordable given that it has no side effect, has high quality ingredients, and very effective–all proven by its customers. Hope this helps.
To all the people who want to try this product, I suggest that you do not. I have tried this product and to no surprise, it really did nothing. It isn’t as amazing as the people behind it makes it to be. If given the chance, I would gladly see and try other products but not now because I’m still trying to see if I can get a refund for this scam.
Hey Lillian, Angelica here. I see that you have also tried this product but to no avail. This product costs a fortune, especially for regular workers with not that high of a wage. With that, I can say that doing some natural treatment, if you still haven’t tried is worth a shot. Most of the time, this costs nothing because you can already find it within your house. On the other hand, Memotex does not have a money back guarantee which is kind of a shame given that it costs a lot. While disappointed, I’m happy that you are not closing the door for opportunities with products like this because I, myself believe that there can be a solution for everything. Now, I will leave you a link for brain supplement products that can also help you in case you want to try. All of the products in the list are top products that you can pick but Brain C-13 is the best for me. It is affordable, gives the best effect and very safe. Thanks for sharing your experience and stay safe always.
I worked hard and paid for this stupid product but it gave back nothing. I myself would also consider this a scam given its price for quality. Do not be deceived by the flowery words and positive reviews that this product has on its site like me. If possible, find as many product as possible and don’t be stupid like me that put all my hope for one product without even checking for other reviews–aside from those on its official website. By now, I would very much prefer a less costly and natural if possible to help my memory.
Bottom-line: be careful and don’t be like me. Know first if the product is really legit or not before purchasing.
Hello Wil! I’m sorry this happened to you… To be honest, the price itself is already a big red flag for me. There are a lot of better product on the market with twice the effectivity rate at a cheaper price compared to Memotex. Also, 400 dollars is no joke. Given the fact that it did not do you better, all I can say is change for a much better alternative like Brain C-13 which is proven to have been effective. Of course there are other products too, but Brain C-13 is hands down the over all winner. I can say so because I have tried it myself. On the other hand, I also suggest trying out some of the listed practice and products here that can also help you. It has both natural and medicinal solutions listed there. In addition, vitamins can also be a crucial component that can help you improve your memory as it has been proven to help with this kind of problem. I really hope this helps and thank you for sharing your experience.
Stay safe,
Angelica
