acetylcholine: a
neurotransmitter that is important in stimulating muscle tissue;
acetylcholine is broken down into choline and acetate and those compounds
are then recycled to form acetylcholine.
choline: derived from lecithin or often ingested through food,
choline helps form cell membranes and transport fats and nutrients into and
out of cells. Choline is also involved in human reproduction and fetal and
infant development. (FDA requires that choline be included in all infant
formulas). Choline is important to the nervous system, and, as it helps to
rebuild nerve cells, it may play a pivotal role in preventing memory loss or
for Alzheimer's. Choline is important to the liver as it helps transport fat
out of liver cells and help prevent toxic buildup of fat and cholesterol. It
also protect the liver from cirrhosis caused by alcohol abuse.

DMSO:
DMSO is a chemical product, dimethyl
sulfoxide, which has been used for years in alternative medicine. Its primary
use has been for treating muscle and joint pain, and it has been found to reduce
the swelling and inflammation caused by arthritis.
Other benefits of DMSO are lucidly outlined by Dr. Stephen Edelson, MD, in his
website
discussion of DMSO.
Besides its other therapeutic benefits, DMSO is also an excellent cellular
carrier for pharmaceuticals as well as nutraceuticals. This is the primary
reason for the use of DMSO in its DHEA and DMAE products. DMSO allows for
ADDITIONAL ABSORPTION in the buccal area. The other therapeutic effects of DMSO
are an additional benefit in these products.
