A deficiency in coenzymes slows down the entire enzymatic process. NADH is one such co-enzyme that is found in all living cells and plays a central role in the body's energy producing capacity. The more NADH a cell has available, the more energy it can produce. NADH energizes body and brain activity, improves alertness, concentration, emotions, drive and overall mood. A growing body of research suggests that NADH stimulates the brain cells production of the neurotransmitter dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin.
Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers of our brain and nerves.
Dopamine is essential for short-term memory, involuntary movements, muscle tone, emotional driver and spontaneous reactions. Noradrenaline is responsible for alertness, concentration and mental activity. Serotonin is important for sleep and emotional balance. The amount of NADH a cell requires depends on the amount of energy it is using throughout the day. When cell energy declines below a certain threshold, cell death and tissue degeneration occurs.
