NADH & Energy:
NADH, or reduced nicontinamide adenine dinucleotide, is synthesized from niacin and is contained in all living cells. It's a coenzyme, meaning it helps enzymes in your body break down food and convert it to energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which studies show is sometimes deficient in people with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. Research also shows that NADH can stimulate brain function.
NADH Dosage:
A typical NADH dosage is between 5 mg to 50 mg per. But a safe, effective dosage for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome has not yet been established. Some experts recommend low levels, such as 2.5 mg to 5 mg per day. While early clinical experience with NADH for these conditions is promising, more research needs to be done.
