NADH stands for "nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) + hydrogen (H)." This chemical occurs naturally in the body and plays a role in the chemical process that generates energy. People use NADH supplements as medicine.
NADH is used for improving mental clarity, alertness, concentration, and memory; as well as for treating Alzheimer’s disease. Because of its role in energy production, NADH is also used for improving athletic endurance and treating chronic fatiguesyndrome.
Some people use NADH for treating high blood pressure, high cholesterol, jet lag, depression, and Parkinson’s disease; boosting the immune system; opposing alcohol’s effects on the liver and the hormone **; reducing signs of aging; and protecting against the side effects of an AIDS drug called zidovudine.
Healthcare providers sometimes give NADH by intramuscular or intravenous (IV) injection for Parkinson's disease and depression.

How does NADH work?
NADH produced by our bodies is involved in making energy in the body. While there is some evidence that suggests NADH supplements might reduce blood pressure, lower cholesterol, help chronic fatigue syndrome by providing energy, and increase nerve signals for people with Parkinson's disease, there isn't enough information to know for sure how or if these supplements work.
NADH Insufficient Evidence for
- Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). There is some early evidence that NADH might reduce the symptoms of CFS when used along with traditional medications.
- Parkinson's disease. So far, study results don’t agree about the effectiveness of NADH in treating Parkinson’s disease.
- Depression.
- Jet lag.
- High blood pressure.
- Improving athletic performance.
- Increasing energy.
- Improving memory and concentration.
- Boosting immune function.
- Reducing signs of aging.
- Lowering cholesterol levels.
- Protecting against side effects of the drug zidovudine (AZT) used to treat AIDS.
