I haven't done any extensive research on it, but it may be worth exploring (if you haven't already done so).

Also, I read that it negatively impacts the thyroid or thyroxin (and I'm hypothyroid). But then I noticed that the site I read this on doesn't seem to have those articles anymore. So, maybe it doesn't have this negative effect after all. I'll definitely have to check this out further.

Kara,That's a drag. I can't seem find the little piece I read again, but I think it said that it worked synergetically with Ginkgo, phosphatidylserine and B vitamins. Then again . . .
I am anxious to see the responses to your thread about DMAE.
Take care.
