Brain Food

A new supplement that has intrigued my interest lately that I have started using and love is DMAE or Dimethylaminoethenol or what they have nicknamed “Brain Food.” If you guys have seen the movie Limitless with Bradley Cooper where he takes a pill that allows him to become a genius and think a thousand moves ahead….this is what it does to me!! Not really, but the concept is similar lol. Here are some bullet points of the benefits.

* Increase life span. Some animal studies show a lengthier than usual life span, however, results are inconclusive at this time since not all animals and birds show the same results.

* Reduce and/or prevent DNA damage.

* 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.

* Enhance ability to fight environmental stressors. As an antioxidant, DMAE can deactivate free-radicals (oxidative stress) created by such environmental polluters as automobile exhaust, cigarette smoke, radiation, stress, physical exercise, and other chemicals.

* Improve the body's ability to deal with dietary stressors. Rancid fats, hydrogenated fats, and fats that have been heated to high temperatures as in cooking are known to create dietary stress due to the oxidative stress they place on the human system. DMAE eliminates the free-radicals resulting from these fats.

* 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.

* Improve learning, memory, creativity, and verbal fluency.

* Decrease incidences and severity of hangovers in those individuals who consume excessive amounts of alcohol. After 6 weeks of DMAE ingestion, subjects reported that depression and headaches of hangovers were eliminated.

* Increase energy. Subjects report 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.

* Improve the behavior and mental function of children with Down's Syndrome.

* Offer favorable effects on chronic dyskinesias occurring as a result of lengthy use of major tranquilizers.

* 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.

Thank you www.dmea.org for the detailed info

Now I’m not going to say it is a miracle drug or anything, but there are many positive benefits. I get mine from Neuro Smart Energy drink from Visalus Sciences. I usually have 1 or 2 a day and it is a healthier alternative to many of the energy drinks out there. It has DMAE, Rhodiola, B vitamins, Arginine, Vitamin C, Green Tea extract, 46 milligrams of caffeine, plus a few other ingredients. It’s not loaded with excess caffeine or taurine so you don’t receive a crash after drinking it. There are many companies supplying DMAE in one form or another, but Visalus Sciences provides a high quality pharmaceutical grade product that is GMP registered. If interested in trying the product contact me for more info or check out this link www.staggsfitness.myvi.net . Stay healthy.
