Tou see it may be important who makes the NADH . I tried the IAS product without much success . I looked up a supplier of ENADA and was offered two different manufacturers (Menuco and Natrol ) . Again I have no evidence on the similarity of these products . They have different prices for supposedly the same product . Menuco is slightly more expensive . Does this make it better ? There is a lot of discussion on this list about what things improve PD . The difference in reaction of different PWPs is put down tothe difference in the PWPs . It could be also they are actually taking different products . I read somewhere it was not the amount of a substance in a pill that mattered but the bioavailability . I just put this down to a manufacturer justifying his high price .There is no way I can measure bioavailability . But there could be something in it . I had an ordering mix up in ordering Lipoic acid so I now have two different makes . I had the impression one worked and one did not . I will have to try to test this further . We may be often misled by what is on the labels . So 5 mg of NADH brand X may not be the same as 5 mg of NADH brand Y . This was what I originaly set out to try . But suddenly I am confronted by two different brands of ENADA. Are they the same ? If there was a difference in different brands of NADH I had thought of making ENADA my bench mark . With different manufacturers of ENADA the consistency cannot be garanteed . peace Alastair ( [log in to unmask] )
