NADH stands for "nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) + hydrogen (H)." It occurs naturally in the body and plays a role in generating energy.
The NADH produced by the body is involved in making energy in the body. Taking NADH supplements might affect blood pressure and have other effects.
People use NADH for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), high blood pressure, high cholesterol, athletic performance, depression, Parkinson disease, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
Don't confuse NADH with niacin, niacinamide, or nicotinamide riboside. These are not the same.
