No biological substance is more powerful, or more potent an antioxidant than NADH. It is the strongest defense against the damage of free radicals. The browser "reload key" will re-synchronize this animation.

Where are antioxidants found?
Biological antioxidants are present in all living cells. The body's antioxidants protect their cell membranes from a normal level of free radicals. When the level of free radicals rise above normal levels, an antioxidant nutritional supplement is recommended.

Well known antioxidant nutritional supplements are beta carotene (a vitamin A precursor) vitamins C, D, E, and selenium. NADH, like the other antioxidants are known to protect the body's cells from free radical damage. Protecting cells from free radical damage reduces the risks of developing neuro-degenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

In May 1997, the New England Journal of Medicine reported:

• The mental deterioration of Alzheimer's can be slowed significantly by taking vitamin E (Vitamin E is a well known antioxidant. The antioxidant NADH did not participate in this clinical trial which tested vitamin E.)
• Researchers want patients in the earlier stages of Alzheimer's. Their hope is that if treatment begins early enough, antioxidants might postpone Alzheimer’s disease indefinitely.

Free radicals are also shown to be involved in the development of auto immune disease, cancer, coronary disease, artherosclerosis, diabetes, and much more.

It is believed that taking antioxidants may help slow the advance of neuro-degenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson's disease.
