• Alleviates or prevents symptoms of depression
• Eliminates "liver spots" (lentigo)
What is DMAE?
DMAE
(Dimethylaminoethanol) is an antioxidant and a naturally occuring amino
alcohol that is produced in minuscule 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
has been used most predominantly to improve memory and focus while
stimulating neural activity.
Many researchers believe that it
may serve an anti-ageing function by increasing the body's capacity to
produce acetylcholine - a deficiency commonly associated with memory
loss.
Why take DMAE?
• Mood: DMAE is a mood
elevator, counteracting depression and bad moods, and raising and
improving cognitive functions like memory and concentration. Physicians
monitoring patients on DMAE have reported them to be more upbeat and
exhibiting greater mental acuity. Those who regularly take DMAE have
reported both sleeping more soundly and being more energetic when awake.
• Brain Health:
DMAE is useful in many different parts of the brain. For one, DMAE
helps to protect cell membranes in the brain. By playing a major role
in the manufacturing of acetylcholine, a substance responsible for
healthy mental functioning, DMAE stops cell deterioration, which can
help prevent premature ageing. DMAE may also treat autism, Alzheimer’s,
ADHD, memory deficits, depression, and dementia.
• Skin Care:
One of DMAE's most promising benefits is that, by stopping the
manufacture of arachidonic acid, which can lead to wrinkles and ageing
of the skin, DMAE promotes healthy skin. Arachidonic acid production
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 ageing pigment (lipofuscin) — the
brownish pigment that causes “liver spots” (lentigo) on the backs of
the hands of many people over 50 years of age. Lipofuscin is believed
to be formed by the inefficient metabolism of fatty acids, and its
accumulation in the cells is one of the most obvious and regularly
reported cytological (cellular) changes with age. Lipofuscin
accumulates with age in all body tissues—especially, the heart,
muscles, kidneys, nerves and brain. Although no known adverse effects
are known to result from lipofuscin accumulation, it certainly does no
good, acting as “intracellular garbage.” Even if it is not harmful,
lipofuscin is often cosmetically unacceptable. DMAE not only can
prevent the formation of lipofuscin, but it also actually flushes it
from the body. Many people gauge the rate of lipofuscin removal from
their hearts and brains by watching their “liver spots” disappear with
long-term supplementation of DMAE. It usually takes about six months
for significant changes to take place—with many spots resolving
completely.
Which scientific studies give evidence to support this?
A
recent study in Germany evaluated the effects of DMAE in subjects
suffering from borderline emotional disturbance and depression, using a
combination of EEG (electroencephalogram) and psychometric testing. The
scientists found that DMAE use results in decreased theta and alpha1
waves, characteristic of increased vigilance and attention. In
addition, the subjects reported increased activity and better mood. The
authors concluded that DMAE induces a psychophysiological state of
enhanced well being as corroborated by mood analysis and brain
electrical activity.
A variation of DMAE is marketed as the
drugs Deaner and Deanol. Numerous studies have shown that these drugs
help people with learning problems, attention deficit disorder (ADD),
and memory and behavioral problems. In one survey by Dr. Bernard
Rimland from the Autism Research Institute in San Diego, Deaner was
found to be almost twice as effective in treating children with ADD
than the widely used drug Ritalin, without the side effects.
How much should be taken and are there any side effects?
DMAE
is non-toxic and is safe for human use. However, it is recommended that
label directions always be followed. Taking too much DMEA can result in
insomnia, headaches and muscle tension. Persons suffering from
Alzheimer's disease, depression, or other psychiatric conditions should
consult a doctor prior to supplementing with DMAE.
Warnings:
Do not take DMAE if you have a seizure disorder or manic depression, as it could worsen these conditions.
