Description
DMAE is a compound that many people believe can positively affect mood, enhance memory, and improve brain function. It’s also thought to have benefits for aging skin.
- attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Alzheimer’s disease
- dementia
- depression
DMAE is naturally produced in the body. It’s also found in fatty fish, such as salmon, sardines, and anchovies.
DMAE is thought to work by increasing production of acetylcholine (Ach), a neurotransmitter that’s crucial for helping nerve cells send signals.
Ach helps regulate many functions controlled by the brain, including REM sleep, muscle contractions, and pain responses.
DMAE may also help prevent the buildup of a substance called beta-amyloid in the brain. Too much beta-amyloid has been linked to age-related decline and memory loss.
DMAE’s impact on Ach production and beta-amyloid buildup may make it beneficial for brain health, especially as we age.
