Dimethylaminoethanol is an industrial chemical<\/a>\u00a0and dietary supplement\u00a0 used for memory\/cognitive enhancement<\/a>.\u00a0 DMAE is an analog of the essential nutrient\u00a0choline, and is\u00a0thought to increase levels of the\u00a0neurotransmitter acetylcholine.\u00a0Nonetheless, research on DMAE as a treatment for cognitive\/neurological disorders is conflicting, and\u00a0often does not support the claims made for it.<\/p>\n

Research has shown that DMAE is actually an inhibitor of choline uptake and metabolism<\/a>\u00a0and is a potential teratogen<\/a>.\u00a0 It is also used extensively in “cosmeceutical” formulas to reduce wrinkles<\/a>, but short-term improvements in skin firmness may come at the expense of overall skin health, as DMAE is toxic to skin fibroblasts<\/a> and induces extensive vacuolization damage<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There is still much that is unknown about DMAE metabolism. A toxicological review\u00a0conducted by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) has recommended that further research be performed to address “…data gaps with special attention to pharmacokinetics and the influence of dietary choline.”<\/em><\/p>\n

DMAE may be\u00a0listed\u00a0on supplement labels\u00a0by an older name, “Deanol.”\u00a0 DMAE bitartrate (or Deanol Bitartrate) is the most commonly used supplement form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
