DMAE

DMAE stands for Dimethyl Amino Ethanol. DMAE is believed to be a cholinergic precursor. In other words, DMAE is an enhancer of synthesis of acetyl choline in the brain. In Europe, Japan, Australia and Mexico it is used as a cognition enhancer in the elderly.

One study revealed that after six weeks of taking DMAE, overall improvement in muscle tone was found. The DMAE group also expressed an increased ability for mental concentration. Subjects taking DMAE were found to require less sleep in order to feel rested. They also reported a clearer mind in the morning upon awakening.

Another study showed that subjects who were taking DMAE had reduced irritability, anxiety and depression.

Overall, nutritional science experts believe that DMAE can potentially be helpful to aging people who have a mental decline. It helps by making them more alert and improving focus.
