DMAE (herbal wonder pill)

Has anyone heard of the herbal pill DMAE? ( http://smart-drugs.net/info-DMAE.htm ) The pros include increased mental alertness, improved short and long term memory, an easier time waking up/falling asleep, crazy dreams, and improved skin. It appears to be legal and sold in many common stores, but are there any negative side-effects? Does it really work? Would taking this for a while decrease one’s natural ability to produce whatever this stuff’s equivalent is in the body? It just seems too good to be true.

Thanks. Does anyone have any experience with DMAE?

Give me the straight dope on DMAE - the wonder supplement

General rule of thumb: If someone tells you about a miraculous wonder pill, it’s probably bunk. If someone tells you about a miraculous wonder pill without mentioning any side effects, it’s definitely bunk. And if someone is trying to sell you a miraculous wonder pill, without mentioning any side effects, then… You get the picture.
