What is DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol) Bitartrate?

DMAE bitartrate, short for dimethylaminoethanol, or more popularly known as deanol, is a naturally occurring antioxidant that has two methyl groups chemically similar to choline. This supplement has been known even many years way back in improving mental alertness and clarity of thinking. Animal studies have shown that taking DMAE results in increased levels of choline in the blood and brain, which in turn increased the body's ability to make acetylcholine, a very important neurotransmitter in the brain. Acetylcholine plays a huge part in memory, learning, recall, and thought processes. In recent years this nutrient has also been used for skin health and DMAE cream products are now available because of the fact that DMAE is an immediate precursor to choline, a substance involved in cell membrane biosynthesis.

To really understand DMAE, one must first know what choline is and what it does. Choline is associated with the B-vitamin category, though technically it’s not officially considered a vitamin. It is responsible for numerous key processes including protecting the liver from accumulating fat, and functioning as a precursor molecule for a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. Fetuses and babies need choline badly to be successful and make great strides in their early growth stages. Mother's milk has an extremely high concentration of choline, and that is one of the main reasons why it's best for babies. Choline got the attention of scientists after studies revealed rats with reduced choline in their diet produced offsprings that had reduced neural development. Several findings have demonstrated choline may be able to aid in preventing memory loss due to aging.

DMAE bitartrate can increase mental cognition by boosting the levels of the chemical messenger's choline and acetylcholine (Ach). These two neurotransmitters augment cognitive function and enhance memory. Additionally, it can improve focus and attention by improving nighttime sleep and as a mild "brain" stimulant. Further, acetylcholine helps conduct nerve impulses in the brain and choline is converted in the brain to another form of choline called phosphatidylcholine, which protects and rebuilds cell membranes within the brain. These benefits would theoretically improve memory loss due to the various increases in blood flow to the brain.

What is DMAE Bitartrate used for and who uses it?

For years, dimethylaminoethanol was utilized to help treat children with attention and hyperactivity disorders. On top of decreased hyperactivity, therapy with DMAE reportedly produced increased attention span and decreased irritability as well, which may very well lead to elevate school performance and test scores in some children. DMAE may be helpful in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease or senile dementia. However, research supporting this clinical application is still not conclusive. DMAE would be more likely to provide benefits in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's symptoms rather than advanced cases. In essence, patients suffering from psychiatric conditions, children with attention deficit disorder and people with Down syndrome, may find that, due to its ability to stabilize moods and improve behavior, DMAE is a worthwhile addition to their treatment programs.

Everyone can take advantage of the benefits available from supplementing with DMAE. Populations that may take away the most from the supplementation of DMAE include the elderly, athletes, and people who would like to use DMAE for cosmetic purposes. For the elderly, who are more susceptible to develop depression, DMAE can help alleviate or prevent symptoms of depression because of its ability to stabilize emotions and increase energy. As for athletes, high energy levels are something that they require most of the time, since high-intensity physical activity is very demanding and can really take a toll on their energy stores. By supplementing with DMAE, athletes can recover much quicker than before, allowing them to train harder and more frequently which consequently leads to improved athletic performance. DMAE also plays an important role in muscle contractions (by being a precursor to ACh). As for its cosmetic applications, DMAE is not exactly "facelift in a bottle" but it can help tighten the skin when applied topically and thus reduce the appearance of aging. Just be wary and steer clear of manufacturers capitalizing on DMAE Bitartrate's topical anti-aging properties by doing your own research or by consulting a health practice professional before buying or using DMAE Bitartrate-based cosmetics, as some of them can charge excessive prices for facial creams containing only 3% DMAE Bitartrate.

How pure is your DMAE Bitartrate?

This DMAE Bitartrate powder (Synonyms: Dimethylaminoethanol Bitartrate, or Deanol Bitartrate) is assayed by the manufacturer to be 99.72% Product. You will receive a sealed and labeled heavy duty 4 mil polyethylene bag of white crystalline powder product. It does not contain any fillers, additives or anti-caking agents. Since DMAE can be beneficial both in the elderly who have cognitive decline, and also for any adult of any age who needs to be more focused and alert, it makes sense to consider taking it as a supplement.

What is the daily suggested dose of DMAE Bitartrate?

Recommended doses generally vary between 200mg and 500mg taken three times per day. By consulting the full bulk density/volumetric conversion chart for DMAE you will notice that a rounded 1/8 teaspoon will measure between 400 and 500 milligrams (approximately). Do not exceed a total dosing of 1500 mg per day or about one half level teaspoon of DMAE Bitartrate without first consulting your physician or health practice professional.

For those who want to formulate this DMAE powder into serums, creams, or solutions, first consider that DMAE Bitartrate batches that are assayed for DMAE generally range between about 37% to usually no more than 41% DMAE (with the balance of the weight being tartaric acid). If in case a 5% DMAE solution is targeted, given that approximately 40% of DMAE Bitartrate is DMAE, you'll need to consider that for every gram of DMAE you want to net in solution you'll have to put about 2.5 grams DMAE Bitartrate.

As always, if you have concerns or questions, consult a physician or a health care professional before taking any supplements. Before taking any kind of medicine, check with your doctor to ensure that the supplement you want to take is right for you. You may be allergic or you may have a sensitive stomach which may raise the need for special instruction as far as dosage goes.

What kind of results do people anticipate while taking DMAE Bitartrate?

DMAE is an active ingredient that promotes firm skin, because of its anti aging properties. DMAE is neutralized with tartaric acid to make it suitable for homemade skin care. DMAE has been clinically proven to help improve memory and brain function by increasing levels of the brain neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is broken down into a B vitamin that has many benefits both on cognition and attention as well as preserving nerve cells and tissue. DMAE supplementation may thus help improve memory and brain function, advance cognition and attention, and shape up the health and appearance of skin by tightening and firming it and also by reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

Precautions and Potential side effects of DMAE Bitartrate

DMAE is non-toxic and is safe for human consumption when used in accordance with proper dosing guidelines. Overdosing with DMEA however can result in insomnia, headaches and muscle tension, particularly increased stiffness in the shoulder, jaw, and neck. If excitation, restlessness, muscle tension, or headache occurs, reduce dosage or discontinue use. Patients undergoing treatment for Alzheimer's disease, depression, or other psychiatric conditions should consult a physician prior to supplementing with DMAE.
