Tablets or capsules in doses of 50mg, 100mg, or 130mg should not be hard to find. Function; Reasons For Use Medical researchers have speculated that the means by which DMAE increases brain acetylcholine levels is by inhibiting choline metabolism in peripheral tissues, thereby allowing free choline to accumulate and subsequently enter the brain where it is converted to acetylcholine. DMAE increases the concentration of choline in the bloodstream because it enhances the rate at which free choline enters the blood from other tissues. No deficiencies of DMAE have been reported or are believed to occur. Directions DMAE supplementation is not recommended at this time. Drowsiness has also been reported. Begin with a low dose and see how you respond before gradually increasing the amount you take. If side-effects develop, stop taking the supplement for a day or two and begin at a lower dose. Overdosage can produce insomnia. To help jump-start your day, open the capsules and pour the contents into a smoothie or fruit juice as part of your morning routine. Although DMAE may help produce brain chemicals needed for mental sharpness, drowsiness, and cognitive impairment have been reported in some people. See how it affects you before you drive or handle heavy machinery. These conditions can affect levels of the supplement in your body. Most people taking DMAE do not experience side-effects.

Weight loss and insomnia may also occur. Lucid dreams have also been reported. These effects should disappear when intake is lowered or stopped.
