DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol) 100mg Twinlab, Inc 100 Caps

I have been on DMAE for about two weeks with one week of unsuccessful Piracetam supplementation (major brain fog!) and I have to say this is a great product. I am much more alert through out the day and find that things come easier to the think of. This has also seemingly increased the output of my programming. My daily dosage is around 800mg a day (two 400mg dosages). I am 6'2" and a fit 235lbs, and I find that maybe because of my mass that dosages lower than 400mg a day don't affect my cognition at all (may also be due to other factors, I'm no doctor.) Even at 800mg a day this product only costs me $.50 a day to use and it is incredibly safe to take at higher dosages than that. DMAE has been studied a good deal, there is no lethal dose (some vitamins have those, even if it is a ridiculous amount), and it occurs naturally in food. I'm very happy I found this.Grade: A+Pros:Comes in capsule formCan feel effect pretty quick on an empty stomachGreat packaging (as always from Twin Labs)Improved cognition

I suggest reading about how DMAE inhibits Choline transport and what that can do to your body. I really wanted this to work for memory and skin health but for now it's not worth the risk to me. Also, I have a muscle tension problem in my body that is pretty severe this seemed to make it worse so if you must take I suggest starting out small 50 mg and maybe not take it every day. But the real worry is it's adverse affects. Read them here and google for more info. Click on the link below or paste it in your browser or google for adverse affects of DMAE. Do your research folks. Not everything that is sold is safe for your body [...]

I bought these DMAE caps in order to make my own DMAE cream, as described on e-How. DMAE cream has been shown to aid in firming skin and helping with collagen rejuvenation. The cream I made was effective, but not very pleasant to use. It turned out grainy and watery. On further investigation I found out that the fillers used in the capsules are responsible for the graininess. I bought some pure DMAE powder and it worked much better. I have not tried ingesting the capsules, I only used them in the topical cream, so I can't say how well they might work if taken internally. I'm giving them 4 stars because they were effective, but not optimal for my use.

great product.. i feel more upbeat and focused..

I've been taking DMAE for just under a year now, tried many different complexes and individual products, and this is, by far, the worst of the bunch. You would need to take three capsules to get 100mg of true DMAE, as DMAE bitartrate is only about 37% bioavailable when taken orally.That said, I noticed that both the recommended dose AND a dose that matched my previous intake (3 capsules) were of limited effect and duration. Source Naturals makes a much better product, in my opinion, with their  Source Naturals DMAE, 351mg, 200 Tablets . That is both one of the cheapest and also the most effective DMAEs on the market presently.With how cheap these are, you don't even have to take my word for it. Buy both and try them side-by-side over the course of a few weeks. That's how I came to the conclusion I did.I'd be upset if I hadn't gotten these on clearance at a local Sprouts a while ago. They're part of my backup stash now.

I have been taking this for 1 month 100-200mg a day depending on how I am feeling in the morning. I have noticed a remarkable change in my ability to concentrate and it has definitely alleviated my anxiety. About 1 hour after I take the DMAE I feel calm and relaxed. I have noticed though that if I take it when I am tired it can make me feel very sleepy. I have not noticed any change in my skin.EDIT 2/25/2012-I have started taking 300mg a day, but will probably only do so in the winter and/or when my job gets stressful.

DMAE (4 a day) should be taken with Natures' Plus, Phosphatidlyserine, to ensure perfect memory. I started taking these about 20 years ago, and I am always delighted with them. When I have a new class of students, I always remember their names instantly. As a language teacher I sometimes have to learn 50 new words at a time, and the last three years, I've actually had to teach myself Spanish. I have my Masters in Spanish, but, suddenly, forty years later, I wound up teaching it in college. I decided to watch telenovelas (soap operas) two hours every night while riding my bike. Now it is as though I got that masters yesterday, not 40 years ago!

This is such a fantastic nutrient for the entire body. I have FMS and it really helps with the "Fibrofog" we suffer from. The long-term effects are fewer liver spots, pregnancy mask gone. Unbelievable? Try it, you will not be disappointed. I work in the information industry and I discovered this as I was conducting research about the brainfog, and decided to try it when I read this nutrient is inhibited by FMS, and aging. This little capsule benefits me greatly in my position. It keeps me focused and interactive so I can do my jobs, at home and work which became more enjoyable.
