DMAE

1 Conversation

What is this drug, this dimethylaminoethanol. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? The things the internet says, would say its a little bit magic, and a little bit nothin. None the les its cheep stuff, so I'm testin it. I have taken the wonder drug for 7 days at this point. I started with 150mg and increased my intake by 50mg each day. I just reached the 500mg mark. 500mg is the amount i have foudnd most recomended online. Though diferent sights vary from 100mg to 1000mg. I plane to stay at 500mg for at least a month, and then take it from there. Now why am i taken this drug? There are many pros, and few cons, but how relyable is the internet? Here are some of the suposed pros and cons that i have found online.

pros:

Enhance brain activity. Because of more readily moving through the brain-blood barrier before conversion into choline, it is believed that DMAE is more effective in aiding brain function such as making neurotransmitters.

Improve the body's ability to deal with dietary stressors

Prevent and/or treat cardiovascular problems. Scientific studies have documented DMAE's ability to deal with degenerative diseases such as cardiovascular problems

Increase ability of the immune system

Alleviate behavioral problems. Hyperactivity associated with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), improved attention span, decreased aggression, improved learning ability, and sometimes increased intelligence

Increase attention span. After 6 weeks of DMAE supplementation, students showed improved concentration at lectures and during examinations.

Increase energy. Subjective reports improved energy, sometimes assumed to be a result of the reduction in depression and/or the stimulation of the central nervous system.

Reduce apathy. Some studies have shown increased motivation as well as energy that lessened apathetic attitudes and anxiety of subjects

Reduce sleep needed. A reduction of one hour was noted after 6 weeks of DMAE use and sleep was reported to be more sound and refreshing.

Increase lucid dreaming.


Cons:

Overdosing can cause insomnia, headaches or muscle tension that usually disappear when dosage is lowered

6 to 8 $ for every 10,000MG or so.

bitter tast



So fare in my 7 days, i have suferd none of the side afects. I have my DMAE in liquid form, and i add it to whatever i am drinking in the morning at breakfast. So far the worst thing i have observed is the bitter tast. I havnet noticed many of the benifits yet, though i have somthing to blame for that, of witch i dont intend to get into, its nice to be sober now though. Without question it works better than coffee as a wakemeup in the morning, so if nothing else it works well at that.

I would like any comments. Any one else out there takin this stuff, bad or good experiances? Is it totaly bunck? Is it not?
