NADH is made from nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3 that is also known as niacinamide. NADH is related to another chemical, called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD or NAD+). Your body naturally makes both NAD+ and NADH from nicotinamide so that your cells can make energy. Some research has found that NADH may play an important role in cell aging, and that your body makes less NADH as you age. Your cells need NADH to make energy, and it may also play a role in aging, so there is interest in using NADH to slow aging, increase energy levels, and treat a wide variety of conditions, such as chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, memory problems, heart problems, and more. But the benefits of NADH for any purpose are not well defined. Although some people report that their quality of life is better while taking NADH, more research is needed to confirm whether NADH is beneficial for any use.
