HelloPharmacist Scorecard of DMAE Bitartrate by AN Amazing Nutrition Amazing Formulas

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: DMAE Bitartrate, a compound thought to increase acetylcholine, a brain chemical involved in attention and memory. The powder comes with no other inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Deanol's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: memory function and brain health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cognitive function, Alzheimer disease, Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), focus, mental clarity, learning.
  • The closest evidence on file: Deanol is rated "Likely Ineffective" for Alzheimer disease (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Deanol is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Cognitive function.

The evidence for DMAE Bitartrate is limited. It's rated likely ineffective for Alzheimer disease and tardive dyskinesia (a movement disorder).

For aging skin, athletic performance, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), there isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or doesn't. The data we hold doesn't establish that this ingredient delivers a clear benefit for any condition.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Deanol

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

DMAE Bitartrate is reported to be well tolerated by some adults, though the evidence is limited and side effects do occur. The most common adverse effects reported orally are abdominal cramps, abdominal pain, diarrhea, drowsiness, nausea, and vomiting.

Other effects noted in the literature include headache, insomnia, constipation, confusion, and in people with psychiatric conditions or schizophrenia, mood changes and worsening of symptoms — especially at higher doses. There isn't enough safety data in pregnancy, so the safety data advises against use during pregnancy.

Safety is unknown while breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it then.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Deanol

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Deanol.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 219 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take cholinergic drugs (medications that mimic acetylcholine) or anticholinergic drugs (medications that block acetylcholine). Deanol may increase the effects of cholinergic medications or reduce the effectiveness of anticholinergic ones.

Your own pharmacist can review your specific prescriptions against this list.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

DMAE Bitartrate isn't established to work for the conditions it's marketed for, and the evidence we hold doesn't support its use. If you take anticholinergic or cholinergic medications, you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this supplement.

Pregnant or breastfeeding — skip it. Talk it over with your own healthcare provider before you start.
