What is the difference between DMAE free amine and DMAE bitartrate?
The difference is biochemical. DMAE bitartrate is a quaternary amine, meaning that all four positions of the DMAE molecule have formed bonds to create a DMAE salt, DMAE bitartrate. DMAE bitartrate is formed from combining DMAE with tartaric acid. DMAE free amine has all four positions “open” allowing this molecule to readily penetrate the skin.
