DMAE is an amino alcohol normally found in small amounts in the brain. It is considered a precursor to the essential nutrient choline, which is necessary for the brain to produce acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in the transmission of nerve signals and healthy brain function.

For this reason, DMAE has been recommended in situations of increased intellectual demand and when there is some difficulty in attention and focus. Since the first scientific studies on the subject, DMAE has been recommended to children and adults with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity, although more recent research in humans is needed to support these capabilities.

DMAE has, first and foremost, an indisputable antioxidant component, which is important for the protection of nerve cells and thus to slow down their aging as it provides stability to membranes. In addition, its ability to stimulate nerve impulses has been suggested. This set of factors suggests that it may be useful in patients with Alzheimer's Disease, although there is not yet strong documentation on this topic.

If the production of normal levels of Acetylcholine is guaranteed, normal contraction of muscle fibers continues, giving the skin firmness, tone, and elasticity.

This is one of the justifications why DMAE is used in dermo-cosmetics, in addition to the industry claiming that, topically, DMAE stimulates the production of collagen, a structural protein of the skin. A 2005 article in the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology presents precisely these possible benefits of using DMAE.
