IngredientsBeta-Alanine in MemoHoney: What It Is, the Amounts Studied and the Tingle
Quick answer: Beta-alanine is the sixth ingredient named on the MemoHoney label. It is an amino acid, and the artwork prints no amount for it. Research used 2.4 g a day in one brain-imaging trial and 3.2 to 6.4 g a day in sports studies. At higher amounts it can cause a harmless skin tingle called paraesthesia.
MemoHoney is a dietary supplement for adults, not a medicine. Memory that has changed suddenly, or in a way the people around you have noticed, deserves a visit to your own doctor before you start any supplement.
What beta-alanine is in MemoHoney
Beta-alanine is an amino acid. It sits last in the list of six names on the MemoHoney artwork: L-Arginine, L-Arginine AKG 2:1 Extract, L-Citrulline HCL, L-Citrulline Malate, Niacin (Vitamin B3) and Beta-Alanine.
The reason it is in a memory formula is carnosine. Beta-alanine is the rate-limiting half of carnosine, a compound found in brain tissue as well as in muscle. That is the whole of the rationale, and this page keeps to it. The product is a dietary supplement sold as Advanced Memory Support, taken as one capsule a day.
The research behind beta-alanine
Most of what is known about beta-alanine comes from sport, and one result comes from the brain. This site’s ingredients page lays out all three strands.
- A brain-imaging trial. Men and women aged 60 to 80 took 2.4 g a day. The trial reported improved fractional anisotropy scores, a diffusion MRI measure of white-matter organisation, in the hippocampus and the amygdala (PubMed record 38971131).
- A carnosine trial. The NEAT trial gave 2 g of carnosine a day for up to twelve weeks and found better cognitive outcomes in its younger participants.
- Sports research. A meta-analysis of 40 studies in 1,461 participants found a significant but small overall effect on exercise capacity, 0.18, with exercise duration as the strongest factor.
Neither of the first two studies is large, and neither tested this capsule. They are the background to the ingredient, not a result for the product.

How much beta-alanine is in MemoHoney?
The honest answer is that the label does not say. The artwork supplied with the product has no Supplement Facts panel, so there is no milligram figure for beta-alanine or for any of the other five names. This website does not guess one.
What it can print is the amount each type of study used, so a reader can hold the label against it.
| Type of study | Beta-alanine amount |
|---|---|
| Brain-imaging trial, ages 60 to 80 | 2.4 g a day |
| Sports research, typical range | 3.2 to 6.4 g a day |
| MemoHoney artwork | No amount printed |
Every figure in the middle of that table is measured in grams. A buyer who wants a number for the capsule can ask customer support for a Supplement Facts panel at contact@customercs.com, and support passes the request on to whoever holds it.
Does MemoHoney cause a beta-alanine tingle?
The one effect beta-alanine is known for is paraesthesia. That is a tingling or prickling of the skin, usually in the face, neck or hands. It is harmless and fades by itself.
A risk assessment that pooled 101 human studies and 50 animal studies found paraesthesia was the only side effect reported, and dropout rates matched placebo. The tingle is dose-dependent and appears at the gram amounts used in sports research, typically 3.2 to 6.4 g a day.
Whether a capsule of MemoHoney brings it on depends on an amount the label does not print. If you notice a tingle, it is a sensory effect rather than a sign of harm, but it is still worth mentioning to support or to your doctor. The side effects page covers it alongside the niacin flush.
How to take MemoHoney with beta-alanine in the formula
The directions are one line long. Take 1 capsule daily with a glass of water, preferably in the morning before a meal. The product is for adults aged 18 and over.
A few habits help the routine stick. Put the bottle next to something you already do each morning. Write the start date on the cap, because the 60-day guarantee runs from the date of purchase and the seller asks for 30 days of use before a claim. And change one thing at a time, so you can tell what the capsule did and what it did not.
Anyone on prescribed medicine should raise MemoHoney with their prescriber first. Three of the six names act on blood vessels, and that is worth a short conversation. Our how to use page has the full routine.
Where beta-alanine fits among the six MemoHoney ingredients
Five of the six names come out of nitric-oxide and sports research. Beta-alanine stands a little apart, because it works through carnosine rather than through blood flow. Niacin, the sixth, is a B vitamin with a US tolerable upper intake level of 35 mg a day.
Reading the label this way helps set expectations. Nothing in the six names has an acute effect, since the studies behind them ran for days or weeks. Give the habit a full month and decide before day 60. The article on how long MemoHoney takes walks through it week by week.
