DMAE & the Brain
DMAE is recognised for its positive effects on mental capabilities. Research first focused on the relationship between DMAE and memory. While DMAE supplements were not found to have a substantial impact on memory, it was established that DMAE supplements do have benefits for mood, mental focus, clarity of thought, and alertness.
DMAE & the Skin
DMAE is a popular ingredient in skincare products. DMAE is effective at increasing the firmness of skin and fighting against skin inflammation, which keeps skin looking youthful later in life. DMAE can also reduce fine lines and enhance the appearance of aging skin, helping to keep it vibrant. Some skincare products are known to cause peeling and dryness, but these symptoms are not experienced with DMAE-based products.
DMAE Adverse Effects
Although DMAE supplements are well tolerated by most people, some adverse effects have been experienced. Most cases of adverse effects are caused by taking more than the recommended dose, but when taken as directed, DMAE supplements are generally safe and effective. Side effects can include muscle tension, headaches, anxiety, insomnia, and over-stimulation. Be sure to track your dosage, and if you experience any of these negative symptoms, scale back your dosage until you find you are free of adverse effects.
