HelloPharmacist Scorecard of N A D H 5 mg by Ecological Formulas

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: NADH, a coenzyme form of vitamin B3 that plays a role in how your cells produce energy. The tablet also contains several inactive ingredients — sorbitol, methyl cellulose, potassium bicarbonate, magnesium stearate, and D-alpha-tocopherol succinate — which are fillers and binders that help hold the tablet together.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: energy and cellular function support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Athletic performance, Jet lag, Low energy, Fatigue, Stamina.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Nadh is rated "Possibly Effective" for Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Nadh is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance, Jet lag.

NADH is possibly effective for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). For Parkinson disease, dementia, and alcohol-related liver disease, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works or doesn't.

If you're considering it for one of those conditions, talk it over with your doctor about what the current evidence shows and whether a trial might make sense for you.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

NADH is generally well tolerated in the short term, but we don't have solid long-term safety data or quality information, so use it with that in mind. During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety information — the data advises against it.

The same goes for breastfeeding: not enough is known, so it's best to avoid it. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for NADH. Even so, check your exact medications with the search tool on this page or ask your pharmacist before you start — the absence of documented interactions isn't a guarantee none exist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

NADH may be worth considering if you have chronic fatigue syndrome and want to explore what the evidence supports. Long-term safety data are limited, so it's a short-term option to discuss with your doctor.

Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your own healthcare provider about whether this makes sense for your situation.
