This Memory Booster Went MISSING for 43 Years (We Found It)

Forty-three years ago, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration declared war on a simple, natural compound…

And millions of American seniors… including you and the people you love… are still paying the price.

You see, for 20 years, this natural compound was sold as an FDA-approved brain-booster all across America.

It’s been shown to improve memory in just hours…

It relieved symptoms in patients with advanced dementia…

And even kids with learning disabilities counted on it to help them think more clearly.

But in 1983, the FDA sabotaged this natural brain-booster – clearing the way for it to be replaced by more expensive, riskier drugs.

It practically went underground for 43 years… and seniors are never told about it.

But this natural brain-booster is still available in supplement form, for just pennies a day…

And you can get your hands on it right now… if you know where to find it.

You may remember a drug called Deanol – which was never really a drug at all.

It was a natural compound known as DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) that is found in fish – and even our own brains.

You see, DMAE helps increase choline levels in our bodies. And we use that choline to make acetylcholine – a neurotransmitter involved in memory, focus, and learning.

For about 20 years, DMAE (as Deanol) was sold all across America. It helped countless kids with learning and attention problems we’d call ADHD today.

And doctors were even handing it out to seniors to help boost their memories.

Then, in the early 1980s, the FDA did the unthinkable…

They started demanding expensive new trials for Deanol, despite 20 years of successful use.

Those trials would have cost more than the drug produced in sales. So in 1983, manufacturer Riker Laboratories pulled Deanol from the market.

The FDA tried to erase Deanol – and DMAE – from history. But the science didn’t go anywhere.

And if you’re looking to improve your memory and focus – or just think more clearly – you deserve to hear about it.

In a landmark study out of France, DMAE was given to patients who were injected with scopolamine. That’s basically a short-term drug that impairs your memory, and it’s used in Alzheimer’s research.

Within six hours, the patients who got DMAE were already showing improvements in the Buschke memory test, which is used to measure both short-term and long-term memory.

Better memories… in just hours.

In another study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, DMAE was given for four weeks to 14 patients with dementia. An unbelievable 10 of the 14 patients improved.

They were less depressed… less irritable and anxious… and they felt more motivated, too.

Believe it or not, the research showing DMAE could benefit dementia patients happened BEFORE the FDA practically had it forced from the market.

Now, a lot of the research on DMAE really dried up after it wasn’t sold as a drug anymore. But because it’s a natural substance, the FDA couldn’t get rid of it completely – and DMAE can still be purchased as a supplement.

Here’s what one DMAE user we found had to say:

“I’ve been taking [DMAE] and have noticed a real improvement in my concentration and overall mental sharpness. It’s not a stimulant, so there’s no jittery feeling — just a clean boost in alertness and motivation.”

You can find DMAE supplements online through retailers like iHerb.com, typically within the 150-250 mg dosage range (well within the guidelines used safely in research).

You should expect to spend $10-$15 a month – or less than 50 cents a day.
