Morosil in Memo Volt: A Trademarked Extract Studied at Exactly 400mg
A trademarked red-orange extract studied at exactly 400mg a day.
Morosil is a trademarked extract of the Moro blood orange, a Sicilian variety rich in anthocyanins. Its published human research uses one specific dose: 400mg a day, for body composition rather than cognition.
That fixed number makes it one of the easiest ingredients to check against a one-capsule, ten-ingredient formula.

What Morosil is
Blood oranges get their colour from anthocyanins, the same family of pigments found in blueberries and red cabbage. The Moro variety grown on the slopes around Mount Etna is particularly high in them, because the temperature swings there push the fruit to produce more.
Morosil is a branded, standardised extract of that fruit. Being trademarked matters for one useful reason: the studies behind it use a single defined dose, so there is a specific number to check against.
What the research actually shows
The published human trials on Morosil looked at body composition — waist circumference, body weight, body mass index — in adults over twelve weeks at 400mg a day. Results were modest and positive. The studies were small, and they were linked to the ingredient's manufacturer, which is normal for branded ingredients and is also a reason to read them carefully.
There is no research on Morosil and memory, focus or cognitive performance. Its presence in a brain formula is not supported by its own evidence base.
The number that makes this ingredient useful
Because Morosil's research dose is a single fixed figure — 400mg — you can hold it up against the capsule. A size 0 capsule holds roughly 400 to 500mg of powder in total. A size 00 holds around 700 to 800mg.
If a Memo Volt capsule contained a full 400mg of Morosil, that one ingredient would occupy most or all of the available space, leaving essentially nothing for berberine, saffron and the other seven. So it does not. Morosil is here below its studied dose, and that is a conclusion you can reach from arithmetic alone, without any label at all.
The bottom line on Morosil
A real branded ingredient with a real, if small, evidence base — for body composition, not for the brain, at a dose this capsule almost certainly does not contain. It is the clearest worked example of the label maths problem in this formula.
Remember what this page is. Everything above is about Morosil as a compound, at the doses used in its own research. It is not evidence about Memo Volt, because Memo Volt does not publish how much of it a capsule contains. Research on an ingredient is never the same thing as evidence about a finished product.
Morosil: common questions
The published human trials use 400mg a day over twelve weeks. Any product claiming Morosil's benefits should be able to show it contains that amount.
No. Morosil's research is on waist circumference and body composition. There is no published research on Morosil and cognitive function.
No. Morosil is Moro blood orange. It does not carry grapefruit's well-known interaction with CYP3A4 enzymes and the medicines they process.
