NADH

NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is an activated form of the B vitamin niacin and is involved in the production of energy in the body.

In research, there have been preliminary suggestions that the compound may also have a role in treatment of depression, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.

As for it's the compound's main role in energy production, it, through a series of reactions with acetyl and oxygen, is able to produce energy.

This energy takes the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Another important anti aging function of NADH is its ability to help in the transform of an amino acid called tyrosine into the important brain chemical dopamine.

Dopamine is involved in mood, energy, sexual drive, concentration, memory and muscle movement.
