National Center for Biotechnology Information.
DMAE is made naturally in the body. It was the active ingredient in a prescription drug called Deaner (deanol p-acetamidobenzoate), marketed for children’s learning and behavioral problems for over two decades.1 It was removed from the market in 1983 because there was not enough evidence that the drug was effective.
DMAE is now available as a dietary supplement.
