DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) is a naturally occurring substance found in small amounts in fish, particularly salmon and sardines, and is also produced synthetically as a dietary supplement. It is often promoted for its potential cognitive-enhancing and neuroprotective properties. DMAE is a precursor to choline and acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory, learning, and muscle control. While some believe it can improve cognitive function, mood, and skin health, scientific evidence supporting these claims is mixed.

Mood improvement involves enhancing positive emotional states and reducing negative ones, leading to increased happiness, reduced anxiety, and improved emotional stability. This is achieved by influencing neurotransmitter levels, reducing inflammation, and supporting a healthy stress response.
Cognitive enhancement improves mental performance by boosting memory, attention, and processing speed. It works by promoting neuronal health and protecting against cognitive decline.
Possible Side Effects
DMAE may cause muscle tension or stiffness in some individuals. This side effect may be related to the effects of DMAE on acetylcholine levels and neuromuscular function.
