Have you ever heard of DMAE? When you think of energy supplement, hangover cure, or mood and skin enhancer is this the supplement that comes to mind? Perhaps it should. DMAE is an organic compound. The long name for DMAE is Dimethylamineothanol. Research is not yet complete or definitive on the benefits or risks of the DMAE supplement. Currently DMAE has been found to have many benefits. However at least one study has suggested that too much of DMAE can have a life shortening effect.
Presently, the benefits of DMAE are impressive. DMAE increases the production of energy in the body. Athletes claim to experience increased levels of energy after consumption. Due to the increased level of energy, some claim that DMAE also improves athletic performance. DMAE is also credited with increased alertness. Increased levels of energy can provide the motivation you need to take your work outs to the next level.
DMAE has other useful benefits too. The headaches and mood depression linked with hangovers have proven to decrease in incidence after a 6 week period of supplementation with DMAE. DMAE has also been credited with alleviating anxiety, increasing assertiveness, and increasing motivation. People suffering with depression have shown mood improvements after 6 weeks of supplementing DMAE.
The benefits are not limited to just those above, though. DMAE has proven to improve skin when applied topically in a cream. DMAE is reported to increase intelligence in children. DMAE has also shown to improve creativity. Children with Down syndrome showed improvement in mental functions and behavior. And Alzheimer patients displayed signs of improved functioning after supplementing DMAE.
