Measuring DMAE Biartrate for 4% Active Concentration in Formulation
Question
I have a question about measuring ingredients, specifically DMAE Biartrate (Product ID 106). The usage rate is recommended at 3-5%, with 4% being suggested. The product description states the mixing ratio is 10% of DMAE concentration 40% = DMAE 4%.
Does this mean I should measure 4 grams to get a 4% usage rate, or do I need to use 10 grams to achieve the 4% usage rate?
Thank you.

Subject: Re: Measuring Ingredients - DMAE
Hello,
Thank you for your question regarding measuring DMAE.
Based on the information provided and the staff's clarification, the product you are using is DMAE Biartrate, which contains 40% active DMAE.
To achieve a final concentration of 4% active DMAE in your formulation (e.g., in 100 grams of product), you need 4 grams of active DMAE.
Since the DMAE Biartrate ingredient is only 40% active DMAE, you need to use a larger amount of the ingredient to get the required amount of active DMAE.
The calculation is:
Amount of DMAE Biartrate needed = (Desired amount of active DMAE) / (Concentration of active DMAE in ingredient)
Amount of DMAE Biartrate needed = 4 grams / 0.40 = 10 grams
Therefore, to get a 4% concentration of active DMAE in your final product, you should use 10 grams of the DMAE Biartrate ingredient (Product ID 106).
Using only 4 grams of the DMAE Biartrate ingredient would result in 4g * 0.40 = 1.6 grams of active DMAE, which would be a 1.6% concentration in a 100g product.
The staff's explanation is correct: you need to use 10 grams of DMAE Biartrate to obtain 4 grams of active DMAE.
Hope this clarifies the measurement for you.
