Dimethylaminoethanol, its acronym being DMAE, is one of the originator molecules for acetylcholine. Still confused? Acetylcholine is used to help cells multiply and expand. It also acts as a neurotransmitter, helping messages cross from nerve endings and nerve cells to the most central nerve system, your brain. Put simply, DMAE is one of the necessary chemicals our body needs to help messages flow more consistently across our body, more importantly, through our brain.

Dimethylaminoethanol, or DMAE, acts as a neurotransmitter, helping messages cross from nerve endings and nerve cells to the most central nerve system, your brain.

What is the importance of taking in DMAE? Well, it is basically something that can help our memory function better. In order for our brain to register something in our short term memory, a typical person would have to pass that information through their brain 3 times. To keep it stored for a more long term session, it would have to keep running through our heads more than twice that amount required for short term memorization. DMAE will act as an aid to the memorization process. It can help form new lines of transportation for our thoughts to be processed and accessed at later times. It is like cleaning the registry on your hard drive. It aligns data and organizes it to allow for new data to be stored in more free areas.

DMAE is also supports the fight against several diseases oriented around a brain’s proper operation. It is commonly recommended for those suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD causes senses of being lost and confused easily due to a decreased attention span. By taking DMAE, those suffering from ADHD can, in a sense, start to view things more clearly. It calms the mind and allows information to be sent through the brain in straighter line. DMAE also comes to the aid for those with memory lapses, those suffering from autism, Alzheimer’s, depression, dementia, and even insomnia. Those on DMAE report sleeping better and waking up more energized than before taking a dose.

DMAE isn’t only recommended for those suffering from memory illnesses. Those looking for beauty and anti-aging solutions may want to examine what DMAE can do for them. When partnered with vitamin C, DMAE can help create cleaner, clearer skin. It prevents the production of arachidonal acids that can cause wrinkles and blemishes to form on the skin. Taken orally in supplemental pill form or applied as a topical cream, DMAE is a very effectual fighter in anti-aging skin treatments.
Dimethylaminoethanol is most commonly found as an extract. It is withdrawn from the oil of fish, such as salmon and sardines, which carry high concentrations of the molecular substance. In order to get the most effectiveness out of DMAE, make sure the supplement is manufactured from natural ingredients, made using pharmaceutical grade fish oils.

As for heavy side effects of DMAE, the nutritional supplements of DMAE have no proven toxicity, however, for those suffering from seizures, bipolar syndromes, Parkinson’s disease, or are pregnant or nursing; a doctor’s approval should be sought prior to commencing treatment with DMAE. DMAE should not be taken in conjunction with MAO-inhibitors (anti-depressant drugs).
