Hey jodi....well i didn't know either so i looked it up here is what i found on wikipedia haha enjoy
Dimethylaminoethanol, also known as DMAE or dimethylethanolamine, is an organic compound. This compound also goes by the names of N,N-dimethyl-2-aminoethanol, beta-dimethylaminoethyl alcohol, beta-hydroxyethyldimethylamine and Deanol. It is a liquid with a color that ranges from clear to pale yellow.

Dimethylaminoethanol is used as a curing agent for polyurethanes and epoxy resins. It is used to the synthesis of dyestuffs, textile auxiliaries, pharmaceuticals, emulsifiers, and corrosion inhibitors. Also it is an additive to paint removers, boiler water, and amino resins.

Dimethylaminoethanol is related to choline and is a biochemical precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and found naturally in fishes like sardines and anchovies. It is reported to have nootropic effects, although research on this chemical has found both positive and negative potential results.

It is believed that dimethylaminoethanol is methylated to produce choline in the brain. It is known that dimethylaminoethanol is processed by the liver into choline; however, the choline molecule is charged and cannot pass the blood-brain barrier.

Short term studies show an increase in vigilance and alertness, with a positive influence on mood. Long term studies are equivocal. Some showed dimethylaminoethanol to increase the lifespan of animals in which it was tested, while others indicate a possible reduction in the average life span of quail. With the uncertainty of whether this could be extrapolated to humans, dimethylaminoethanol supplementation is not generally recommended. It is possible that dose is a major determining factor in the overall effects of dimethylaminoethanol - a high dose could produce the opposite effects than sought and contribute to life-shortening.

A recent study (March 2007) indicates that when used topically, it damages the cells and cell reproduction.

thing to consider:


<<Clinical studies of DMAE have used doses of up to 1600 mg per day with no reports of side effects and no known drug interactions.14 While regular supplementation with DMAE and supplements that contain DMAE as their primary ingredient are widely tolerated, several possible side effects should be borne in mind. These include gastrointestinal disturbances, body odor, drowsiness, confusion, increased blood pressure, moderate depression, and persistent irritability.15,16 DMAE should also be avoided by pregnant or breast-feeding women, except with a doctor’s consent. Those with epilepsy or bipolar disorder should avoid using DMAE entirely>>

shucks... huh? and u thought u'd get away scotch free cuz it was found "naturally occuring"


yeah, but when its isolated
strange things start happening
like all the other drugs

they are all "naturally" derived someway, somehow

but then they get "isolated" and weirdness abounds
