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 your body makes naturally and uses in energy production. The tablet also contains inactive ingredients (sorbitol, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, potassium bicarbonate, magnesium stearate, and D-alpha-tocopheryl succinate) that help form and preserve the tablet.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Nadh's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Nadh for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

NADH is possibly effective for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) according to the evidence we have on file. For Parkinson disease, dementia, and alcohol-related liver disease, the evidence is too sparse or unreliable to say whether it works.

If you're considering it for chronic fatigue, talk it over with your doctor first — they can help you weigh the evidence and decide if it's worth trying.

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 enough long-term safety data to know what happens if you take it for months or years. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know it's safe in either case.

If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, 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 for NADH in our data. That said, run your medications through the checker on this page before you start, so you and your pharmacist can review them together.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

NADH might be worth considering if you have chronic fatigue syndrome and want to explore natural options alongside your doctor's care. Short-term use appears well tolerated, but long-term safety isn't established.

Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you take regular medications.

N A D H 5 mg by Ecological Formulas: Common Questions

Does N A D H 5 mg by Ecological Formulas interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in N A D H 5 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
N A D H 5 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is NADH safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it — there isn't enough information to know either way. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.
Does NADH actually work for fatigue?
For chronic fatigue syndrome specifically, NADH is possibly effective according to the evidence we hold. For other causes of fatigue, we don't have reliable data. Your doctor can help you figure out whether it's worth trying for your particular situation.
What is NADH and what does it do in my body?
NADH is a coenzyme — a helper molecule your body makes naturally and uses to produce energy in your cells. This supplement gives you an extra dose of it orally.
Can I take NADH long-term?
We don't have enough long-term safety data to say. It's generally well tolerated in the short term, but if you're thinking about taking it for months or years, ask your doctor or pharmacist what the risks and benefits might be for you.
Does NADH have side effects?
We don't have adverse effects documented in our data for NADH, but that doesn't mean none occur — it means we don't have detailed trial reports on file. If you notice anything unusual after taking it, mention it to your pharmacist.
