DMAE nutrition

DMAE nutrition

Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE), a natural amino alcohol found in small amounts in the brain, is considered a precursor to choline, which the brain needs to produce acetylcholine.

Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter for the healthy conduction and function of nerve signals. As a supplement, DMAE works with Gingko Biloba and other “smart nutrients.”

DMAE is found in fish, salmon and especially sardines. The human brain retains a small amount of DMAE, which plays various crucial functions. DMAE protects the integrity of cell membranes, whose deterioration can lead to premature aging.

DMAE comes in the form of creams, capsules and liquid tablets.

More DMAE facts

DMAE is a mood enhancer that counteracts depression and low mood and increases and improves cognitive functions such as memory and concentration.

It can also treat autism, Alzheimer's, ADHD, memory problems, depression and dementia. DMAE can even increase intelligence. These benefits arise from DMAE's role in the production of acetylcholine, a substance responsible for healthy mental function.

Doctors who monitor patients with DMAE have reported that they are more optimistic and have higher mental acuity. Those who regularly take DMAE have reported both sleeping better and being more energetic while awake.

A promising benefit of DMAE is that DMAE promotes healthy skin by stopping the production of arachidonic acid, which can lead to wrinkles and skin aging. DMAE to stop arachidonic acid production can be used either internally as a dietary supplement or as a topical cream

DMAE: What to look out for

While DMAE has no known toxicity and is considered a very safe supplement, there is no RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) set for it. However, there are some precautions for people with certain conditions.

People with epilepsy or seizure disorders, bipolar depression or Parkinson's disease, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should not use DMAE without their doctor's approval.

The rare side effects of DMAE include gastrointestinal problems, body odor, drowsiness, confusion, high blood pressure, moderate depression, and persistent irritability.

Tips for purchasing a quality DMAE supplement

1. Always purchase your supplements from pharmaceutical GMP compliant facilities that meet the strictest manufacturing standards. Because dietary supplement production is largely unregulated in the United States, health product consumers only have a 20% chance of purchasing products that contain the actual ingredients stated on their labels, or worse, those that are not contaminated with harmful toxins. This is an industry-wide problem and should not be ignored if you want supplements that will benefit your health without compromising it!

2. Acetylcholine production requires B vitamins – including biotin, folic acid and B6 – in addition to DMAE. Therefore, those consumers who desire the cognitive boost often associated with DMAE nutrients should consider taking these nutrients together as part of a comprehensive synergistic formula.

3. We recommend that people who want to use DMAE for its skin-improving effects take vitamin C, which also helps your skin by preventing the production of arachidonic acid and reducing the likelihood of premature aging.

Because DMAE works synergistically with other nutrients, we should consider DMAE as part of a comprehensive, scientifically balanced formula and not as a standalone supplement. When the nutrients work together, you maximize the health benefits of DMAE.
