DMAE & the Brain
Early research conducted on DMAE supplements generally focused on memory and, more specifically, on how DMAE supplements influenced memory in patients with Alzheimer’s disease or other severe types of dementia. Although the studies concluded that DMAE supplements did not directly improve memory, they did establish the benefits DMAE benefits have on mood, mental focus, alertness, and clarity of thought.

DMAE & the Skin
DMAE is often included in skincare products. Research has shown that DMAE supplements or DMAE-based skincare products may improve skin by increasing skin firmness and limiting inflammation of the skin. DMAE products may also reduce fine lines and improve the appearance of aging skin. Adverse effects experienced with other anti-aging skincare products, such as peeling and dryness, don’t seem to be experienced with DMAE-based skincare products or supplements.

DMAE Adverse Effects
DMAE supplements are known to cause some adverse effects, with most side effects being caused by taking more than the recommended dose. When taken as directed, DMAE supplements don’t generally cause side effects, except in individuals that may be highly sensitive to DMAE. Side effects experienced with DMAE use include headaches, muscle tension, anxiety, over-stimulation, and insomnia. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is recommended that you lower your dosage. Some individuals who had trouble with DMAE supplementation found that they tolerated the supplement far better when it was taken earlier in the day. Although DMAE supplements are generally well tolerated, it is nevertheless recommended that you speak to your health physician prior to use.
