DMAA (short for 1,3 dimethylamylamine) is an organic compound with various names. Methylhaxaneamine, Geranamine, and geranium oil/extract are some other names for it. It is known to boost motivation in mammals. DMAA is an effective stimulant that acts as a noradrenaline releaser.
While it is more commonly used as a pre-workout supplement by athletes and bodybuilders, 1,3 Dimethylamylamine also has a wide range of nootropic effects that can improve mental performance.
DMAA can be chemically synthesised. It has been said that DMAA also exists naturally in the oil of the geranium plant (Pelargonium graveolens). Traditionally, this plant has been valuable in the perfume industry for its pleasant range of smells. men, many reports suggest that DMAA does not actually exist in geranium oil and the DMAA present in supplements are most likely from synthetic sources (Pieter, 2012). men, many sources say those findings were flawed and geranium oil does, actually contain DMAA despite what FDA findings initially were.
