How to Take Memopryl: Directions, Timing and a Drug Check

Written and reviewed by the Memopryl Editorial Desk · Last updated · 7 min read

Quick answerTake the serving printed on your Memopryl bottle with water, at the same time each day.

If you take any prescription drug, check with a pharmacist first, since St. John's wort affects many drugs. Skip a missed dose rather than doubling, and judge it over several weeks within the 60-day window.

How much Memopryl should you take?

Take the serving printed on your Memopryl bottle, as its directions say. The serving size and directions were not part of the files we received. No brand page we could open lists them either.

So the Supplement Facts panel on your bottle is the only guide. Please do not guess a dose from another product or website. Each bottle holds 60 capsules, and how long that lasts depends on the serving your label gives. Our Memopryl Supplement Facts guide shows where to find each line.

The bottle

What comes in each bottle?

Each bottle holds 60 capsules. The directions and serving size sit on the side or back panel, not on the front shown here.

Capsules, not powder

Memopryl comes as capsules, 60 capsules to a bottle. The front says "Dietary Supplement" and lists three support claims.

Turn the bottle to find the directions. They sit near the Supplement Facts panel, often with any warnings. Read both before you open the seal.

Five steps

How do you take Memopryl safely, step by step?

Five simple steps cover the whole routine. The first one matters most if you take any medicine.

  1. Check your medicines first

    If you take any prescription medicine, show the Memopryl bottle to your pharmacist or doctor before the first capsule. St. John's wort changes how many medicines work.

  2. Read the Supplement Facts panel

    Find the serving size and the directions on your bottle. Take only what the label says, since the serving is not published anywhere else.

  3. Take the capsules with water

    Swallow the serving the label directs with a full glass of water.

  4. Keep the same time each day

    Link the capsule to a daily habit, such as breakfast, so you take it at the same time every day.

  5. Skip a missed dose and protect your skin

    If you miss a day, carry on with the next serving and never double up. Use sun protection, as St. John's wort can make skin burn more easily.

Medicine check

Why check your medicines before the first capsule?

Memopryl contains St. John's wort. It speeds up the liver enzymes that break down many drugs, so those drugs may work less well (StatPearls, St. John's Wort). A pharmacist can check your list in a few minutes.

The groups to ask about include:

  • Birth control pills
  • Blood thinners such as warfarin
  • Antidepressants and other serotonin drugs
  • Heart medicines such as digoxin
  • Transplant drugs such as cyclosporine
  • Some HIV and cancer drugs
  • Some seizure drugs
  • Statins such as simvastatin

These come from federal and cancer-center guidance (NCCIH, St. John's Wort) (MSKCC, St. John's Wort). Ginkgo may also raise bleeding risk with blood thinners (NCCIH, Ginkgo).

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist

With antidepressants or other serotonin drugs, St. John's wort can cause serotonin syndrome. Ask your doctor before use, and never stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Timing

Should you take it in the morning or evening?

The best time of day for Memopryl is not published. If your label names a time, follow it. If it does not, choose the time you are most likely to remember.

Many people tie a daily capsule to breakfast or the first coffee of the workday. Others keep the bottle next to the toothbrush. What counts is doing it at the same time each day, since the ingredient trials all used a steady daily dose.

If your stomach feels unsettled, tell your pharmacist. Bacopa and acetyl-L-carnitine can both cause stomach upset in some people (StatPearls, Bacopa) (NIH ODS, Carnitine).

Missed dose

What if you miss a dose?

Skip the missed serving and take the next one at your usual time. Do not take two servings at once to catch up. A single missed day will not undo weeks of steady use.

If you miss often, move the bottle to where you will see it. A phone reminder at the same time each day also helps. Keeping the habit is worth more than any one capsule.

Sun care

Does St. John's wort change how you handle the sun?

It can. St. John's wort can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, so it may burn faster than usual (MSKCC, St. John's Wort). This matters most in summer, at altitude or near water.

Use shade, a hat, long sleeves or sunscreen on days you are outdoors. If a rash or unusual burn appears, stop and speak with a doctor or pharmacist.

Storage

How should you store the bottle?

Store in a cool, dry place, as with most capsules. Check your bottle for its own storage line. Keep the cap closed tight after each use, and keep the bottle out of reach of children.

Hold on to the bottle until it is empty. The lot number and best-before date on it help if you ever need to call the order desk at +1 (302) 200-3480.

Other products

Can you take it with other supplements?

Look at every label you already take before adding Memopryl. Some focus or mood products also contain ginkgo or St. John's wort. Taking two can raise your total intake without you noticing.

Bring all your bottles to the pharmacist at the same visit. That way the check covers vitamins, herbs and medicines together.

Who should ask first

Who should not follow this routine?

Memopryl is not for anyone under 18. If you are pregnant or nursing, ask your doctor before use. If you have surgery planned, tell your surgeon, since ginkgo may affect bleeding (NCCIH, Ginkgo).

The full list of who should ask first is on who Memopryl is for.

Common slips

Which mistakes are easy to avoid?

Guessing the dose

Taking a number you read somewhere else. Only the panel on your own bottle counts.

Skipping the medicine check

Starting while on birth control, a blood thinner or an antidepressant without asking first.

Judging it in a week

The ingredient trials ran for months. One week tells you very little.

Stacking similar products

Adding another supplement with ginkgo or St. John's wort can raise your total intake.

How long

How long should you take Memopryl before judging it?

No timeline has been promised for Memopryl. The bacopa trial saw changes only at 12 weeks (Stough et al., 2001). The phosphatidylserine trial ran for 6 months (Kato-Kataoka et al., 2010).

So give it several weeks of steady daily use. Note how focus and energy feel on normal workdays, not on unusual ones. The 60-day refund window starts at purchase, so plan your check-in before it closes. A fuller view is on the Memopryl results timeline, and possible side effects are listed on the Memopryl safety page.

FAQ
