DMAE Supplement

DMAE has been developed to maintain brain activity and nervous system function, as well as to support health in general, now available to buy in supplement form at SuperSmart. It is formulated from DMAE bitartrate, a derivative of dimethylaminoethanol.

What is DMAE?

Naturally present in fish such as sardines and anchovies, DMAE has attracted scientific interest due to its similarity to choline and phosphatidylcholine, nutrients which play a role in synthesizing acetylcholine in the body, one of the nervous system's main neurotransmitters. As a result of this similarity between dimethylaminoethanol and choline, DMAE bitartrate can be used to maintain or increase acetylcholine levels and thus support the brain and nervous system function.

What Benefits do Studies Show About DMAE?

DMAE is a powerful and effective molecule which has been the subject of several scientific studies. Its use has primarily been associated with increased levels of acetylcholine in the brain:

• Its choline-like properties mean that DMAE acts as a precursor of acetylcholine. Essential for nerve signal transmission, acetylcholine plays a role in the autonomic nervous system by contributing to vegetative functions and muscle coordination.
• It is also involved in the central nervous system, helping to develop cognitive abilities such as memory and learning.
• In promoting acetylcholine synthesis, DMAE is thus an important nutrient for the brain. In particular, it may contribute to >better muscle coordination and improved cognitive function – hence its popularity both with sportspeople looking to maintain concentration in long-duration exercise and those wishing to support their brain activity and cognitive abilities.
• Studies have shown that DMAE may also help improve cognitive function such as memory and concentration.
• Scientists investigating its therapeutic potential have reported positive effects for combating cognitive problems such as hyperactivity, attention deficit, and loss of memory. In particular, improvements in memorization, concentration, and attention have been observed.
• Other studies suggest that DMAE also acts at levels in the body other than the neural sphere. Indeed, it seems to improve the complexion and increase maximal oxygen uptake during exercise.

The many benefits of DMAE are now available in its bitartrate form as a nutritional supplement, delivered in vegetarian capsules, with a suggested dose of 3 capsules a day.

SuperSmart has other dietary supplements available to buy that may also be of interest for maintaining brain activity and cognitive function, such as Sodium R-Lipoate, with neuroprotective effects, and two powerful antioxidants formulations: N-Acetyl Cysteine and Perlingual glutathione.
