Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide
Description: Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NADH) is the active coenzyme form of Vitamin B3. It is necessary for the production of cellular energy, and also effects the development of essential neurotransmitters.1
NADH deficiency is usually found when there is a general Vitamin B3 deficiency, which usually only occurs in people who ingest large amounts of alcohol regularly.
NADH appears to also help in the treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.2
NADH appears to ease and even dissipate many of the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease.3

Natural Sources: Muscle tissue of fish, poultry, and cattle; yeasted foods.

Useful in treatment of: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Parkinson’s Disease.

Recommended Dosage: 10 mg daily. Should be taken on an empty stomach.

Contraindications: None.
