" DMAE
DMAE, (Dimethylaminoethanol) is a nutritional supplement that
supports the old wives' tale that fish is a great brain food. DMAE is
normally present in small amounts in our brains, and is known for its
mental stimulation and enhancement.
Because fish is naturally abundant in DMAE, a diet high in sardines
and anchovies will provide higher than average levels of DMAE and
choline to the brain, which serve as raw materials for the production of
the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is responsible for
conducting nerve impulses within the brain, and by accelerating the
brain's synthesis of this important neurotransmitter, DMAE may aid in
improving memory and learning, as well as preventing loss of memory
in adults.DMAE helps elevate mood, improve memory and learning, increase
intelligence and physical energy, and extends the life span of
laboratory animals1. It is used by many people for its mild, safe
stimulant effect, yet DMAE also makes it easier for most people to get
to sleep. Many people report less fatigue in the day and sounder sleep
at night, as well as needing less sleep when taking DMAE.The stimulant effect of DMAE is significantly different from the
stimulation produced by coffee, amphetamines, or other stimulant
drugs. DMAE does not have a drug-like quick up and down. People
who take DMAE have reported that they feel a mild stimulation
continually, without side effects. Many athletes using DMAE report an
improved energy output in addition to better concentration on form and
technique. Also, when DMAE use is discontinued, no depression or
let-down occurs. SMART Basics DMAE includes 150 mg B-5, along
with other B vitamins to support the activity of DMAE. "
