Mechanism of Action
Mechanism of Action DMAE is a precursor to choline and acetylcholine. Choline inside cells is converted to phosphatidylcholine and is used in the building and repair of cell membranes, especially in the brain. It is also known to stabilize cell membranes. Cell membrane degradation has been proposed as one of the prime mechanisms of normal aging.
Clinical Studies
- A randomized, clinical study reported in the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology found that a facial gel containing three percent DMAE was beneficial for reducing fine lines around the eyes and on the forehead when used for 16 weeks. The study also found it improved lip shape and fullness as well as the overall appearance of aging skin.
- A small study done in 1977 on people who had aging-related cognitive decline found that DMAE reduced depression, anxiety, and irritability. It also found that DMAE was helpful for increasing motivation and initiative.
