About this site
This is the retailer's own product-information site. It is not independent, and the way we deal with that is to publish the label exactly and show our working.
Gocognimary is the usa authorized cognimary retailer. This site publishes product information for CogniMary: the printed Supplement Facts panel transcribed in full, the arithmetic that panel makes possible, and a list of everything that was not supplied.
It is written by the CogniMary Editorial Desk. It has a commercial interest in the product, which is why every number on it is sourced and every gap is named.

We sell the product this site describes. There is no version of that sentence that makes this an independent review, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What we can do is be checkable.
The editorial standard
The label wins
Where the written brief and the bottle artwork disagreed, we published the artwork and recorded the disagreement. The label is what ships.
Rule one
No invented facts
Where a fact was not supplied, this site says “not published” and lists it. There is no price, no guarantee length and no split of the blend on this site, because we were given none of them.
Rule two
No invented sources
Every study cited here was opened and read. No PubMed identifier on this site was written from memory, and where we relied on a secondary source we say so on the page.
Rule three
Null results get published too
The largest ginkgo trial found nothing. The AREDS2 cognition substudy found nothing. Both are on the ingredients page, in the same typeface as everything else.
Rule four
The test we apply before publishing a sentence is whether a reader could check it. If they could not, it either gets a source or it comes out.
What we were given, and what we did with it
Two things arrived with this build: a written brief from the seller, and a folder of bottle and marketing artwork.
| Source | What it contained | How we used it |
|---|---|---|
| The written brief | Contact details, addresses, lot and certificate references, pack list, review figures, FAQ stubs | Used for anything the label does not print. Where it was vague, we said so |
| The bottle artwork | Front label, Supplement Facts panel, directions and warnings panel | Transcribed exactly, including a misspelling and a botanical name that does not match its common name |
| The marketing panels | Eight further benefit claims not printed on the bottle | Listed on the benefits page as advert copy, not published as product claims |
| Published research | Trials, meta-analyses, Cochrane reviews, FDA and NIH material | Opened, read and cited. Anything we could not open is flagged on the page |

Nothing else was supplied. In particular, no certificate of analysis, no test report, no price and no guarantee term.
The disagreements we found
Seven places where two sources said different things, or where a printed line does not hold up. All seven are published.
- The folate arithmetic
- The panel prints 600 µg DFE (as 320 µg folic acid). The FDA's own conversion guidance says micrograms of dietary folate equivalent equal 1.7 times the micrograms of folic acid. 320 × 1.7 is 544, not 600. To print 600 µg DFE the panel would need about 353 µg of folic acid. We have published the panel exactly as it reads and shown the conversion beside it. We do not know which of the two numbers is the typo.
- The bilberry botanical name
- The panel prints Bilberry (Vaccinium cyanococcus fruit) Extract. Cyanococcus is not a species; it is the section of the genus Vaccinium that contains the blueberries. Bilberry is Vaccinium myrtillus, a different European species. The panel names one plant and gives the botanical address of another. We cannot tell from a label which one is in the capsule.
- The spelling of alpha lipoic acid
- The panel prints Alpa Lipoic Acid (ALA). The ingredient is alpha lipoic acid. This is a typographical error on the printed panel rather than a different substance, and we have kept the spelling in our transcription because a transcription that silently corrects its source is not a transcription.
- The sprig on the front
- The front label carries a rosemary sprig and the product is called CogniMary. Rosemary does not appear anywhere in the Supplement Facts panel. The illustration is decoration, not an ingredient claim, but it is worth saying out loud.
- Two different phone numbers
- The retailer's order desk is +1 (302) 200-3480. The bottle prints a different number, +1 (623) 377-4609, for Amplify Distribution, LLC in Scottsdale, Arizona. Both are published on this site with the job each one does, because a buyer holding the bottle will read the label number first.
- Claims that are on the adverts but not on the bottle
- The supplied marketing panels claim support for digestion, gut health, detoxification, stamina, immunity and mood. The bottle itself claims memory, focus and mental clarity, healthy cognitive function with age, and overall health support. This site publishes the bottle's claims and lists the rest as advert copy, because the label is what ships.
- The length of the guarantee
- The brief says the guarantee is “as printed on the marketplace listing” and gives no number of days. The seller's own review summary mentions a 60-day window. That is not the same as a published term, so this site does not state a number anywhere and tells you to read the listing before you pay.
Everything that is missing
Rather than scatter these across the site, here is the whole list in one place.
- Pack prices
- Not published to this website. The brief says pack prices are the ones printed on the marketplace listing at checkout, so every pack card here reads “Price at checkout”.
- The length of the guarantee
- Not published as a number. The listing is the authority. Read it before you pay, and keep the order email.
- The split inside the blend
- Not published, and legally it does not have to be. 635 mg is shared between eleven ingredients and the label discloses only the total.
- Shipping cost and delivery estimate
- Not published. Both appear at checkout.
- A certificate of analysis
- A reference number was supplied. No certificate document was. This site publishes the reference as a reference and nothing more.
- Independent third-party testing
- No testing report of any kind was supplied. The seals on the artwork are manufacturer and facility marks, which are a different thing, and the testing page says so.
- The identity of the bilberry species
- Unresolved, because the panel's botanical name contradicts the common name it is printed beside.
- Verified customer reviews
- The figures supplied were not collected by anyone we can check, and five of the eight supplied quotes share identical wording. The reviews page publishes the seller's numbers as the seller's numbers and audits them.
If any of these is supplied later it goes up, and the date at the top of the affected page moves.
What we could not verify
Four things on this site rest on weaker ground than the rest, and they are flagged where they appear. Collected here so they are easy to find.
- Berberine's trial figures come from a researcher summary published by the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation rather than from the underlying papers, which we could not open.
- The green tea cognition dose could not be verified from a primary source at all, which is why green tea gets no verdict on the ceiling chart.
- The common claim that magnesium oxide is “only 4% absorbed” could not be traced to a source we could open, so this site does not repeat the figure.
- The guarantee length was not published to us as a number, so no number appears anywhere on this site.
A site that never says “we could not check this” is a site that is not checking.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, out of date or unsupported, we want to know and we would rather hear it from you than not.
- Email [email protected] with the page and the sentence.
- Tell us what you think is wrong and, if you have one, a source.
- We check it. If you are right, the page changes and the date at the top of it moves.
- If we disagree, we will tell you why rather than quietly ignoring it.
The same applies to the seller. If the manufacturer supplies the split of the blend, a certificate of analysis, an extract ratio or an identity test, it goes up and the relevant page gets rewritten.
Order CogniMary from the official website
Sixty capsules, thirty days, and a panel you can read before you buy. Start with one bottle so you can see the price and the guarantee term before you commit to six.
No price was published to this website. The figure is on the checkout page.

The product as the marketing presents it
That panel calls CogniMary an all-in-one supplement, formulated with high quality vitamins and minerals, supporting digestion, energy, mental clarity and daily mineral intake. The bottle claims memory, focus, clarity, cognitive function with age, and overall health support.
Both descriptions came in the same folder. This site publishes the bottle's and lists the advert's, and that single editorial decision explains most of what is different about these pages.
How a page on this site gets written
The label first
Before any research, the artwork is transcribed exactly. Every later page is checked against that transcription rather than against the brief.
Then the sources
Every ingredient gets a search for the dose used in human trials and what those trials found. Sources are opened and read, not cited from a summary, except where we say otherwise on the page.
Then the arithmetic
Anything that can be derived from the label is derived: days per bottle, percent of Daily Value against the FDA figure, the ceiling for each blend position.
Then the gaps
Everything that could not be established goes on the missing list rather than being smoothed over. The list is on this page.
Then the writing
With all of the above in front of us. A page written before the research is a page that argues towards a conclusion instead of from the evidence.
What this site will never do
- Invent a number. No price, no guarantee length and no blend split appears on this site, because none was published to us.
- Invent a source. No study identifier here was written from memory. Where we relied on a secondary source, the page says so.
- Publish unverified reviews as customer voices. The audit explains what we were given and why it is not published as testimony.
- Use a countdown timer, a stock counter or a permanent struck-through price. All three are fabrications, and they are the house style of this category.
- Hide a null result. The largest ginkgo trial and the AREDS2 cognition substudy both found nothing, and both are on the ingredients page in the same typeface as everything else.
- Quietly change a page. Corrections move the date at the top.
None of those commitments is difficult to keep. They are listed because listing them makes them checkable, which is the only thing that makes a commitment worth writing down.
