What is DMAE?

DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) is an antioxidant and natural amino alcohol that is produced in small amounts by the brain. DMAE can also be found in higher concentrations in anchovies and sardines. Known primarily as a precursor to choline and acetylcholine (chemicals in the brain responsible for nerve transmissions and cognitive function), DMAE is most commonly used to improve memory and focus while stimulating neural activity.

Many researchers believe it may serve an anti-aging function by increasing the body's ability to produce acetylcholine, a deficiency often associated with memory loss.

Why take DMAE?

• Mood: DMAE is a mood elevator, counteracting depression and low mood and enhancing and improving cognitive functions such as memory and concentration. Doctors who see patients on DMAE report that they are more optimistic and have greater mental acuity. Those who regularly take DMAE report that they sleep more soundly and are more energetic when they are awake.
• Brain Health: DMAE is beneficial in many different parts of the brain. For one thing, DMAE helps protect cell membranes in the brain.
• Skin Care: One of the most promising benefits of DMAE is that by stopping the production of arachidonic acid, which can lead to wrinkles and skin aging, DMAE promotes healthy skin. The production of arachidonic acid can be stopped by taking a DMAE supplement.
• Lentigo: One of the most dramatic and well-documented effects of DMAE is its ability to inhibit the formation of an aging pigment (lipofuscin) – the brownish pigment that causes “liver spots” (lentigo) on the backs of the hands of many people over the age of 50. Lipofuscin is thought to be formed from inefficient metabolism of fatty acids, and its accumulation in cells is one of the most obvious and regularly reported cytological (cellular) changes with age. Lipofuscin accumulates with age in all body tissues – especially in the heart, muscles, kidneys, nerves and brain. While there are no known adverse effects resulting from the accumulation of lipofuscin, it certainly does not provide any benefit, acting as an “intracellular garbage disposal.”

What scientific studies provide evidence to support this?

A recent study in Germany evaluated the effects of DMAE in patients suffering from borderline personality disorder and depression, using a combination of EEG (electroencephalogram) and psychometric testing. The researchers found that DMAE use resulted in reduced theta and alpha1 waves, characteristic of increased alertness and attention. In addition, subjects reported increased activity and improved mood. The authors concluded that DMAE induces a psychophysiological state of enhanced well-being, which was confirmed by analysis of mood and brain electrical activity.

A variant of DMAE is marketed as the drugs Deaner and Deanol. Numerous studies have shown that these drugs help people with learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder (ADD), and memory and behavior problems. In one study by Dr. Bernard Rimland of the Autism Research Institute in San Diego, Deaner was found to be almost twice as effective in treating children with ADD as the widely used drug Ritalin, without the side effects.

How much should I take and are there any side effects?

DMAE is non-toxic and safe for human consumption. However, it is recommended to always follow the label directions. Taking too much DMAE can lead to insomnia, headaches, and muscle tension. Individuals suffering from Alzheimer's disease, depression, or other psychiatric conditions should consult a doctor before supplementing with DMAE.

Method of use: Take 1 capsule daily or as recommended by a doctor.
