DMAE (Dimethylamino Ethanol)
|
Dimethylamino Ethanol (DMAE) is a natural amino
alcoho and it is found in small amounts in the brain. Dmae is considered a
precursor of choline that is needed for the brain to make acetylcholine.
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter in nerve
signal conduction and healthy function. As a supplement, DMAE works with other
“smart nutrients” such as gingko bilboa.
DMAE naturally occurs in foods such as fish,
salmon, and sardines in particular. The human brain maintains a small amount of
dmae, which plays various crucial functions. On the surface, this nutrient
protects the integrity of cell membranes, however dmae does far more than just
this. The deterioration of cell membranes can lead to aging earlier than one
should.
DMAE is
used as a dietary supplement and the dose is one v-cap one to three times daily.
It is preferable to take them between meals. Do not take more than the stated
dose without checking with your physician. DMAE comes in the form of creams,
capsules, and liquid tablets.

mental acuity. Also, people taking it often, have reported sleeping depper and

arachidonic acid being manufactured, which is a substance that can lead to
wrinkles and aging of the skin. Because of these purposes, the nutrient can be
taken internally as nutritional supplement or applied topically through certain
creams.
