How it works
NADH acts as an electron carrier in the electron transport chain, crucial for ATP synthesis within mitochondria. It supports pancreatic beta-cell function and improves insulin sensitivity in target tissues.
Who should take it
Adults looking to address insulin resistance, weight gain, low energy. Particularly relevant for people who prefer a targeted single ingredient and who have ruled out an underlying condition that needs medical care first.
Avoid / careful
Pregnant or nursing women without clinician oversight. People on prescription medication affecting the same pathway should consult a doctor before combining. Side effects are uncommon at recommended doses but mild GI upset can occur when starting.

FAQs
Frequently asked
How long does it take to see results from NADH?
Metabolic markers typically show improvement within 8-12 weeks of consistent daily use.
Can NADH help with weight loss?
By supporting energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity, NADH may indirectly aid in weight management efforts.
Is NADH safe for long-term use?
At recommended doses, NADH is generally well-tolerated for long-term use, but consult a clinician for personalized guidance.

About NADH (Coenzyme 1)
NADH (Coenzyme 1) is a mitochondrial support supplement used to support metabolic and blood-sugar health. Reduced NADH for cellular energy and fatigue. It is available in tablet form and dosed for adults in India and internationally. As a western-tradition entry in the SacredBod catalog, it is positioned as a single-ingredient option that can be used on its own or layered into a broader protocol. NADH (Coenzyme 1) works through the mechanisms characteristic of its class — see the mechanism and research sections for detail. It primarily acts on the pancreas, liver, muscle, and effects are dose-dependent, typically becoming measurable within 8-12 weeks for metabolic markers. Consistency matters more than dose size for this category.
Evidence
NADH (Coenzyme 1) carries an evidence grade of B in the SacredBod catalog, reflecting good-but-limited human evidence for metabolic and blood-sugar health. Reduced NADH for cellular energy and fatigue. Benefits are cumulative rather than immediate, typically becoming noticeable within 8-12 weeks for metabolic markers, and individual response varies.
Dosing
A typical dose is 20 mg, taken with food, usually in the morning. Start at the lower end, assess tolerance, and stay consistent; more is not automatically better.
Cautions
Pregnant or nursing women without clinician oversight. People on prescription medication affecting the same pathway should consult a doctor before combining. Side effects are uncommon at recommended doses but mild GI upset can occur when starting.
Who it’s for
