HelloPharmacist Scorecard of NADH 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 a single active ingredient: NADH, a coenzyme your cells use in energy production. The tablet also includes several inactive ingredients — mannitol, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, potassium bicarbonate, magnesium stearate, and d-alpha tocopheryl 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

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 data we hold. For Parkinson disease, dementia, and alcohol-related liver disease, the evidence isn't established — we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works for those conditions.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Nadh

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 long-term safety data and quality information are limited, so we don't know how it holds up over months or years. The safety data advises against it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those situations — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance if either applies to you.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Nadh

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 this ingredient.

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.

If you're dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome, NADH may be worth a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist — it shows some promise. For other conditions, the evidence isn't there yet.

Since long-term safety data are thin, this isn't something to take open-ended without checking in. Discuss it with your own healthcare provider before starting.

NADH 5 mg by Ecological Formulas: Common Questions

Does NADH 5 mg by Ecological Formulas interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in NADH 5 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
NADH 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.
Does NADH actually help with chronic fatigue?
The evidence suggests it's possibly effective for chronic fatigue syndrome, which means there's some promising data but it's not yet conclusive. Talk with your doctor about whether it's worth trying for your situation.
Is NADH safe to take long-term?
It's generally well tolerated short-term, but we don't have solid long-term safety or quality data, so using it for months or years is less certain. Check with your pharmacist or doctor about how long you plan to take it.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, the safety data advises against it — there isn't enough information to know it's safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your options.
What is NADH and what does it do?
NADH is a coenzyme that works inside your cells to help produce energy. Your body naturally makes it, and some people take it as a supplement hoping to boost energy levels.
Does NADH help with Parkinson disease or dementia?
The evidence for those conditions isn't established — we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works. If you're interested in trying it for either one, discuss it with your doctor first.
