Claims have heen made and at least one symposium was published, that supported the idea that NADH is effective in ameliorating some of the tremors and some other effects in Parkinson Disease. However, this has been very controversial. As a consequence the FDA prevents the advertisement and use of NADH as a drug. The NADH can be temporarily used as a diet supplement To my mind, the medical literature does not provide sufficient evidence of an efect of NADH that is of value in treating Parkinsonism. It does not apear to have any deleterious effects either. Steven Steven E. Mayer, Ph.D.
