NADH stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. NADH is an activated form of the B vitamin Niacin. Energy in the form of ATP was derived from sugars, amino acids, and fats. NADH is a coenzyme that helps in this complicated process of energy extraction. NADH is now available as a supplement.

The body, just like a car, needs fuel. Our primary source of
fuel is through fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in our diet. After digestion in the
stomach, foodstuffs are absorbed into the blood and circulate to various tissues and cells
where they are broken down into even smaller particles. One of these is a two-carbon
molecule known as acetyl. Enzymes help break down these fats, proteins, and carbohydrates
into acetyl and they then help extract the final energy from acetyl. Enzymes also need
helpers, and these helpers are called coenzymes. Most of the coenzymes are partly made
from vitamins, such as vitamins E, C, lipoate, and riboflavin (vitamin B2). NADH, known as
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a coenzyme, partly made from nicotinamide (vitamin
B3). For more
NADH information.
NADH, through a series of reactions with acetyl
and oxygen, is able to produce energy. This energy is in the form of ATP (adenosine
triphosphate). Therefore, a good supply of NADH optimizes energy production in the body.
Another function of NADH is its ability to help transform an amino acid called tyrosine
into the important brain chemical dopamine. Dopamine is involved in mood, energy, sexual
drive, concentration, memory and muscle movement.
NADH is normally found in meat, fish, and
poultry. The content of NADH in fruits and vegetables is minimal.
The NADH claims
NADH was introduced to the US health market in 1995. There
are claims that NADH can improve memory, athletic performance, slows the aging process,
and is helpful in a variety of conditions including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's
disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, and overall lack of energy.
A small number of short term studies done with an oral form
of NADH have shown slight to moderate benefits in regards to depression, Parkinson’s
disease and Alzheimer’s disease. An eight-week double blind study done at Georgetown
University Medical Center found thirty percent of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome
to benefit from 10 mg of NADH compared to eight percent of the controls. MADH
may also be helpful in treating jet lag (see below). Birkmayer
Laboratories of Vienna, Austria who organized all of these studies, are also involved in
promoting their trademarked NADH product.

NADH supplement Experience
Does NADH really improve energy, concentration, and mood? We have taken NADH on
numerous occasions. Within an hour or two of swallowing a pill on an empty
stomach in the morning, we notice an increase in alertness, wellbeing, vitality,
visual clarity, and sexual interest. The effects last most of the day. However,
we develop a tolerance to NADH if we take it regularly.
NADH Side Effects
Reports of untoward effects from the use of 2.5 mg of NADH are rare. Higher
dosages can sometimes lead to insomnia, anxiety, fatigue, and overstimulation.
George, a 42 year-old lawyer from Philadelphia says, “I like the 2.5 mg dose of
NADH because of the alertness it provides. However, when I take 5 mg or more, it
makes me too stimulated, almost with a panicky feeling.” As more individuals
start taking NADH, we may come across additional reports of side effects. The
risk of side effects increase when NADH is combined with other stimulants. A few
users have found that high dosages used daily for prolonged periods led to
mood swings, anxiety, and sleeplessness which resolved when the NADH was
stopped. Until we learn more about the long term effects of NADH, we do not
recommend its use on a daily basis for prolonged periods.
One user noticed that NADH helped her
chronic fatigue, but things didn’t go well when she stopped. Betty, a 36
year-old homemaker from Houston, says, “I have chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)
and was taking 10 mg of NADH daily. I know it really helped my energy level and
mood. But I began to have stomach upset from it and stopped for a few days. I
then fell quickly into a very bad CFS "crash," the worst one in months.” I
recommended that Betty only take 2.5 mg of NADH every other day. I don’t think
we should rely on one nutrient to solve CFS.
NADH Researh Update
Stabilized NADH (ENADA) improves jet lag-induced cognitive
performance deficit

Current remedies for jet lag (phototherapy, melatonin, stimulant, and sedative
medications) are limited in efficacy and practicality. The efficacy of a
stabilized, sublingual form of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH,
ENADAlert, Menuco Corp.) as a countermeasure for jet lag was examined. Because
NADH increases cellular production of ATP and facilitates dopamine synthesis, it
may counteract the effects of jet lag on cognitive functioning and sleepiness.
Thirty-five healthy, employed subjects participated in this double-blind,
placebo-controlled study. Training and baseline testing were conducted on the
West Coast before subjects flew overnight to the East Coast, where they would
experience a 3-hour time difference. Upon arrival, individuals were randomly
assigned to received either 20 mg of sublingual stabilized NADH (n = 18) or
identical placebo tablets (n = 17). All participants completed
computer-administered tests (including Cog Screen) to assess changes in
cognitive functioning, mood, and sleepiness in the morning and afternoon. Jet
lag resulted in increased sleepiness for over half the participants and
deterioration of cognitive functioning for approximately one third. The morning
following the flight, subjects experienced lapses of attention in addition to
disruptions in working memory, divided attention, and visual perceptual speed.
Individuals who received NADH performed significantly better on 4 cognitive test
measures (P < or = .05) and reported less sleepiness compared with those who
received placebo. No adverse effects were observed with NADH treatment.
Stabilized NADH significantly reduced jet lag-induced negative cognitive effects
and sleepiness, was easily administered, and was found to have no side effects.

Q. How soon does NADH have an effect?
A. Many people notice a sense of alertness and wellbeing within an hour or two
of taking NADH on an empty stomach in the morning. Most people notice the
effects within hours.
Supplements that are a healthy addition to ones diet include Acai fruit, Goji fruit, and Noni fruit.
