Source Naturals Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, NADH, 10 mg, 30 Lozenges

About the product

Do you constantly feel a loss of energy in the middle of the workday and have difficulty concentrating on important tasks? This condition often occurs due to depleted cellular reserves and insufficient ATP synthesis in the mitochondria due to stress, lack of sleep, or intense mental strain. Source Naturals NADH is designed to participate in fundamental biochemical reactions that generate energy within cells and is intended to replenish the internal resources necessary for physical and mental activity, endurance, and concentration, as well as for the proper functioning of the cardiovascular, muscular, and nervous systems. This product is a coenzyme form of vitamin B3, which acts as an important energy carrier in cells throughout the body. NADH (reduced beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is an active compound, a derivative of niacin (vitamin B3), which is present in all living cells. It is a key link in the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which serves as the primary fuel for the brain, nervous system, and muscles. In nature, this substance is found in meat, fish and poultry, but during heat treatment its amount is significantly reduced, which may lead to the need for an additional source. 

• Release form: 30lozenges (suckers).

• Recommended daily portion: 1-2 lozenges.

• Certification and features: GMP quality standard, does not containyeast, dairy products, eggs, gluten, soy and wheat, sugar, preservatives, artificial colors, flavors and fragrances..

Why take it?

• Participation in cellular respiration and ATP synthesis - the coenzyme is an essential participant in the process of electron transfer in mitochondria. This process is necessary for the conversion of carbohydrates and fats obtained from food into ATP molecules, which serve as a universal fuel for the functioning of all organs.

• Clarity of mind and concentration - the brain consumes a significant part of the energy produced by the body. Sufficient amounts of reduced niacin in neurons are necessary for the transmission of nerve impulses, which is required for focus, memory, and high cognitive activity throughout the day.

• Metabolic balance - the compound plays an important role in basic metabolism. It is involved in oxidation-reduction reactions that are required for the proper absorption of nutrients and their transformation into forms of energy available to cells.

• Sports endurance and muscle activity - during physical exertion, the need of muscle fibers for ATP molecules increases many times over. The presence of this substance in muscle cells is a factor in complete muscle contraction and replenishment of energy costs after intense training.

Instructions for use

Quantity per day: 1-2 lozenges per day.

When to take: Take 1-2 lozenges per day. For best results, allow the lozenge to dissolve in your mouth before swallowing.   

Works better together with:

• Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) - these two nutrients are partners in the mitochondrial respiratory chain and are involved in the chain of reactions of cellular fuel synthesis.

• Vitamin B12 - together with NADH, it is actively involved in the processes of methylation and homocysteine ​​metabolism.

Combinations with:

• Sedatives and sleep supplements (e.g., melatonin, valerian, or 5-HTP) when taken simultaneously in the evening - this may lead to neutralization of their effects and possible difficulty falling asleep. 

Storage conditions: Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. Store in a cool, dry place.

Contraindications and warnings

• Warnings: children, pregnant and lactating women, in case of individual sensitivity to individual components of the dietary supplement. A dietary supplement should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet.

• Dosage: Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Excessive consumption does not accelerate the results and may be harmful to the body.

• Consult a doctor: Before taking any dietary supplement, be sure to consult with a doctor or a qualified healthcare professional, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, have a chronic medical condition or are taking other medications.

• Product Status This product is a dietary supplement. It is not a drug. Not intended for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of diseases.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the advantage of the lozenge form for this substance? 

Dissolution in the mouth allows the active component to enter directly into the bloodstream through the mucous membrane, bypassing the aggressive acidic environment of the stomach. This is important for maintaining the integrity of the coenzyme structure and its biological value.

Can this product be consumed in the evening?

Since the component is involved in processes associated with alertness and activity, taking it in the afternoon may cause an excessive surge of energy in some people, which will interfere with timely sleep. It is recommended to use the supplement in the first half of the day.

What is the difference between NADH and regular niacin (vitamin B3)?

NADH is an already reduced, metabolically active form of the coenzyme. Unlike regular niacin, the body does not need to expend additional resources on its conversion, and the substance is immediately included in the cellular energy cycle.

Does the product contain caffeine or other nervous system stimulants?

No, this product does not contain sugar or caffeine. The mechanism of action is based on participation in the natural biochemical processes of ATP production within cells, which promotes a physiological state of alertness without sudden pressure surges.
