Why Some Ingredients Get A Percentage And Others Get An Asterisk

September 26, 2026 · 3 min read

Look at Memodyne's Daily Value column and you'll see two different things: real percentages for two ingredients, and a double asterisk for the other five.

Where Percentages Come From

Niacin (47%) and Calcium (1.5%) show real numbers because the FDA has established Daily Values for these nutrients, based on general nutritional guidance.

Why Amino Acids Show An Asterisk Instead

L-Arginine, L-Arginine AKG, L-Citrulline HCl, L-Citrulline Malate, and Beta Alanine don't have federally established Daily Values, so their column shows an asterisk explained in a footnote rather than a number.

The Asterisk Isn't A Red Flag

This is standard, expected labeling for amino acids across the supplement industry -- it reflects a gap in federal nutrition guidance, not something Memodyne is hiding. The milligram amount is still printed either way.
