MemoPryl Stomach Upset: Which Names Can Cause It?
MemoPryl stomach upset is possible, because bacopa, carnitine and glutamine, three of its six listed names, can each upset the stomach in studies. The capsule itself was never tested, and its amounts are not published. Stop and ask a pharmacist if symptoms are strong.

The short answer01
Can MemoPryl stomach upset happen?
MemoPryl stomach upset can happen, since several listed names are known to bother the stomach. Nausea, cramps and belching are the usual reports.
No test of the capsule exists, so the rate is unknown.
The names02
Which listed names upset the stomach?
Bacopa, carnitine and glutamine are the stomach-related names, and ginkgo adds stomach upset too. Bacopa effects are stomach upset, nausea and dry mouth (Merck Manual, Bacopa).
Carnitine at about 3 g a day can cause nausea, vomiting, cramps and diarrhea (NIH ODS, Carnitine). A small glutamine study saw belching and gut discomfort at the top dose (Ogden 2020, L-glutamine tolerance). These are research doses, not the MemoPryl amount.

- 2Ginkgo biloba leafNot published per serving · Not known
- 3N-Acetyl L-Carnitine HClNot published per serving · Not known
- 4St. John's wortNot published per serving · Not known
- 5Brahmi / Bacopa monnieriNot published per serving · Not known
- 6L-glutamineNot published per serving · Not known
Names only: no amounts are published. Supplement labels must list each ingredient with its amount (21 CFR 101.36, supplement labels), so the bottle itself is the check.
Side by side03
How do the reports compare?
The reports are mild and short-lived in the studies we read, but they differ by name. Ginkgo also lists stomach upset (NCCIH, Ginkgo).
| Name | Reported effect |
|---|---|
| Bacopa | Stomach upset, nausea (Merck Manual, Bacopa) |
| N-acetyl L-carnitine | Nausea, cramps, diarrhea at about 3 g a day (NIH ODS, Carnitine) |
| L-glutamine | Belching, nausea, mostly resolved within hours (Ogden 2020, L-glutamine tolerance) |
What to do04
What helps if your stomach reacts?
Follow the label on your bottle, note when symptoms start and ask a pharmacist whether food timing helps. Federal guidance says to stop and call your provider if side effects occur (NCCIH, supplements wisely).
Keep taking prescribed medicine. Report a serious reaction to the FDA (FDA, report a problem). See MemoPryl side effects for the rest.

FAQ06
Questions about digestion and herbal capsules
Is a fishy body odor normal with carnitine capsules?
About 3 g a day of carnitine can cause a fishy body odor along with nausea and cramps (NIH ODS, Carnitine). That is a research-scale amount; the MemoPryl amount is not published.
Is glutamine hard on the gut?
At high doses in one small study, glutamine caused belching, nausea and gut discomfort that mostly passed within hours (Ogden 2020, L-glutamine tolerance). That study was small and not about memory.
Should I stop a capsule that gives me cramps?
Stop and call a pharmacist or doctor if symptoms are strong or lasting (NCCIH, supplements wisely). Note the date and the time of your last capsule.
