What people say about DMAE and mood
“I was experiencing a go getter mindset and increased focus and drive with DMAE.”
“I was taking a hefty dose (~1.5g DMAE/day)... depression came back abruptly after I started taking piracetam (dosed with DMAE)... I stopped the DMAE... and it went away nearly overnight.”
“DMAE hasn't made my depression *worse* as far as I can tell , but the combination of it, Huperzine and Vinpocetine has definitely given me more energy/focus”
“my mood lifted, my concentration got better and was alert”
