About

Centrophenoxine is prescribed in some countries under the brand name “Lucidril” to help combat Alzheimer’s. It is synthesized from DMAE. DMAE is a natural chemical that has been shown to improve areas of cognition and mood. DMAE’s exact method of action is slightly disputed. Some see it as a precursor to Acetylcholine but others contest this as choline molecules broken down from DMAE are not believed to cross the blood-brain-barrier efficiently.
