Life Choice DMAE - Lights On - When supplemental amounts are used, DMAE is known for its brain function enhancements. It is a naturally occurring nutrient found in seafood, such as anchovies and sardines--just like the old saying that fish is brain food. Many people will take DMAE for its mild stimulant effect, yet DMAE helps most people fall asleep, sleeping more soundly, and having less fatigue during the day. DMAE has the ability to enhance brain functions at the higher level and can compensate for various neuropsychological deficits ranging from cognitive processes to aging itself. DMAE greatly reduces the lipofusion from brain and nerve cells and is able to cross the blood brain barrier.
