It is the reduced, &#8220;charged&#8221; form of coenzyme 1 \u2014 a molecule made from niacin (vitamin B3) that is present in every living cell and takes part in more than a thousand metabolic reactions. Its single most important job is <strong>carrying high-energy electrons from the food you eat to the mitochondria<\/strong>, where those electrons are used to build ATP, the energy currency of the body.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it this way: carbohydrates and fats are the fuel, but NADH is the spark that moves the energy from the fuel into something your muscles, heart and brain can actually spend. <strong>The more NADH a cell has available, the more chemical energy it can produce.<\/strong> For every molecule of NADH oxidised in the electron transport chain, the mitochondria can generate up to three molecules of ATP.<\/p>\n<div class=\"scn-banner\">\n  <strong>Already active, no conversion required.<\/strong> Most &#8220;NAD boosters&#8221; on the market sell precursors \u2014 NMN or NR \u2014 that your body must first absorb, then convert through several enzymatic steps before they become usable coenzyme.

When they work, they promote resistance to oxidative stress, switch off genes linked to inflammation and accelerated aging, and mimic many of the benefits of calorie restriction \u2013 reduced fat synthesis and storage, and better glucose metabolism. Keeping the NADH pool topped up is one of the few evidence-based levers we have on these &#8220;anti-aging switches&#8221;.\n<\/div>\n<h3>What are mitochondria and why does NADH matter to them?<\/h3>\n<p>Mitochondria are the power houses of the cell \u2013 the engines where energy (ATP) is produced. They supply energy to every cell in the form of ATP, and this is exactly where NADH comes in. NADH feeds the electron transport chain, regenerates ubiquinol (the reduced form of coenzyme Q10) and provides the reducing power that lets the mitochondria produce ATP. Without NADH the mitochondria cannot produce energy, and the cell cannot survive. If you also take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.s-c-nutrition.com\/zh\/proionta-kalis-ygeias-scn\/ubiquinol-forte\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\">Ubiquinol Forte<\/a>, the two work on the same chain \u2013 NADH upstream, ubiquinol downstream.<\/p>\n<h3>And what are sirtuins?<\/h3>\n<p>Sirtuins are a family of enzymes found in the mitochondria and the cell nucleus. They require large amounts of NAD\/NADH to do their job. When they are working properly, sirtuins promote resistance to the oxidative stress generated by constant mitochondrial &#8220;burning&#8221;, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They can also switch off genes linked to inflammation, cell senescence and accelerated aging. Research into how sirtuins control aging is booming, and activating them is one of the ways we can take control over at least one of the body&#8217;s aging switches.<\/p>\n<div class=\"scn-cta\">\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.s-c-nutrition.com\/zh\/product\/nadh\/#tab-description\" title=\"Buy NADH supplement for energy and brain health\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\">Get SCN\u2122 NADH<\/a><br \/>\n  <small>Multi-buy: 2 pieces \u22125% \u00b7 3 pieces \u221210% \u00b7 5 + 1 FREE \u00b7 9 + 2 FREE<\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SCIENCE --><\/p>\n<h2>The science behind NADH supplementation<\/h2>\n<table class=\"scn-table\">\n<tr>\n<th>Study<\/th>\n<th>Design<\/th>\n<th>Key finding<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mero et al., <em>J Sports Sci<\/em> 2008<\/td>\n<td>Double-blind cross-over, 8 trained men, 30 mg NADH\/day for 4 weeks<\/td>\n<td>~9% faster reaction time after anaerobic load, 6\u20138% higher counter-movement jump, ~29% lower post-anaerobic lactate; no change in VO\u2082max<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Randomized placebo-controlled trial, <em>Thieme<\/em> 2024<\/td>\n<td>27 healthy adults, 10 mg NADH\/day + 4-week exercise programme<\/td>\n<td>Additional improvement in overall health status and a 14.3% greater gain in cognitive abilities vs placebo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Birkmayer, Kay &amp; V\u00fcrre, <em>Wien Med Wochenschr<\/em> 2002<\/td>\n<td>Double-blind, 35 travellers crossing 4 time zones, 20 mg stabilized NADH<\/td>\n<td>Significantly better performance on four cognitive tests and less sleepiness vs placebo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sleep-deprivation trial (Birkmayer\/Kay)<\/td>\n<td>25 adults kept awake all night, NADH vs placebo<\/td>\n<td>NADH group performed significantly better on multiple measures of mental function<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Birkmayer et al., ICMAN 2001; Birkmayer &amp; Vank 1996<\/td>\n<td>Open-label, 17\u201320 international-level cyclists\/triathletes, 5 mg stabilized NADH daily, 4 weeks<\/td>\n<td>Increased intracellular NADH-dependent enzyme activity in 19\/20 athletes; improved reaction time and ergometer performance; VO\u2082max\/kg improvements<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Systematic review &amp; network meta-analysis, 2025<\/td>\n<td>Pooled trials of NAD\u207a precursors (NADH, NMN, NR, niacin) on fatigue domains<\/td>\n<td>NADH produced the strongest improvement in cognitive performance of all NAD precursors examined<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Castro-Marrero et al., <em>Nutrients<\/em> 2021<\/td>\n<td>12-week randomized double-blind trial, 207 adults with severe fatigue, 20 mg NADH + 200 mg CoQ10<\/td>\n<td>Significant reduction in perceived cognitive fatigue and improved health-related quality of life<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"scn-note\">Doses in the literature range from 5 mg to 30 mg per day.

This is a natural effect of ingredients that are extra sensitive to humidity. Try to consume the product within 20\u201330 days after opening. Keep in a dry, cool place with the lid well closed. Do not use wet hands or tools to handle the product.<\/p>\n<p class=\"scn-note\">Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children. Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- FOOD --><\/p>\n<h3>Can I get NADH from food?<\/h3>\n<p>Fish, poultry, beef and products made with yeast or yeast extracts all contain NADH \u2013 but it is a highly volatile molecule that is largely destroyed by cooking and by stomach acid, which makes it very hard for the body to absorb and use dietary NADH. That is exactly why oral NADH was for many years only given intravenously, and why a <strong>stabilized NADH supplement<\/strong> is the practical way to raise intracellular levels.<\/p>\n<p><!-- FAQ --><\/p>\n<h2>NADH supplement \u2013 frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"scn-faq\">\n<details>\n<summary>What does an NADH supplement do?<\/summary>\n<p>NADH supplies the reduced coenzyme your mitochondria use to make ATP. Supplementing it supports cellular energy production, mental clarity, alertness and reaction time, dopamine synthesis, and the sirtuin enzymes linked to healthy aging.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is NADH better than NMN or NR?<\/summary>\n<p>They are different stages of the same pathway. NMN and NR are precursors that must be converted into NAD\u207a and then reduced to NADH before they can carry electrons. NADH is the finished, electron-loaded coenzyme. In a 2025 network meta-analysis of NAD precursors, NADH showed the strongest effect on cognitive performance. Many people use NADH on its own; some combine it with a precursor.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How much NADH should I take per day?<\/summary>\n<p>Clinical studies use 5\u201330 mg per day. SCN\u2122 NADH provides 10 mg per capsule \u2013 the most common study dose. Take 1 capsule daily; athletes following research protocols sometimes use 2\u20133 capsules daily for a 4-week block. Do not exceed the recommended dose without professional advice.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>When is the best time to take NADH?<\/summary>\n<p>In the morning on an empty stomach, about 30 minutes before food, with a glass of water. Absorption is best without food, and NADH&#8217;s alertness-supporting effect is more useful early in the day than late. On training days, take it before the session.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is NADH a stimulant? Will it affect my sleep?<\/summary>\n<p>No. NADH is not a stimulant and contains no caffeine. It supports energy by improving how your cells produce ATP, not by stimulating the nervous system. Taken in the morning it does not interfere with sleep.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is NADH allowed in competitive sport?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes. NADH is a naturally occurring coenzyme and is not on the WADA prohibited list. SCN\u2122 products are made in Europe under doping-free, cross-contamination-safe procedures.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How long until I feel NADH working?<\/summary>\n<p>Some people notice sharper focus within the first few days; the clinical trials on reaction time, lactate and cognitive performance used 4 weeks of daily use. We recommend a minimum 4-week block, which is why multi-buy pricing is available.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Why is your NADH &#8220;stabilized&#8221;?<\/summary>\n<p>Free NADH breaks down within minutes in stomach acid. The stabilized disodium salt form in SCN\u2122 NADH keeps the molecule intact through digestion so it can be absorbed. Trials with stabilized oral NADH have measured a rise in NADH-dependent enzyme activity in the cells, confirming it gets where it needs to go.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Who should not take NADH?<\/summary>\n<p>NADH has an excellent safety record at the doses used in trials, with no serious side effects reported. As with any supplement, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition or take medication, speak to your doctor first.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"scn-cta\">\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.s-c-nutrition.com\/zh\/product\/nadh\/#tab-description\" title=\"Buy SCN\u2122 NADH \u2013 stabilized NADH supplement\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\">Add SCN\u2122 NADH to basket<\/a><br \/>\n  <small>Together \u00b7 Faster \u00b7 Longer \u00b7 Harder<\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"scn-gif\" src=\"https:\/\/www.s-c-nutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/SCN-together-faster-longer-harder-motivational-1.gif\" alt=\"SCN\u2122 motivational banner \u2013 together, faster, longer, harder\" title=\"SCN\u2122 NADH \u2013 Cellular Energy Production\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"scn-disclaimer\">*This website is for your education and general health information only.
