Ann Gibbons > Hi Ann, I take 4 x 5.0 mg/day of ENADA brand NADH, developed by Dr. Birkmayer of Austria. I take it in consultation with three doctors (family doc, general neuro, and "parkinsologist. I stopped it for 3 days--had HORRIBLEl muscle cramps and long off-periods. It definitely helps control offs and also, warms me up, so less muscle pain. Distributed by MENUCO, 1-800-636- 8261. Very expensive. but the Birkmayer Foundation is paying for it for me, since I live on social security monthly check and cannot afford any extras.. Without the NADH, I definitely would be MUCH worse off. I think the amount of NADH / day depends on body weight, metabolism. I am slender, active type, also strong--weigh 170 lbs., stand 5'11". You might try calling Dr. Birkmayer--ask MENUCO for his telephone number. IVAN
