Synthesis & Takeaways
Human clinical experience at 10–20 mg/day with no serious adverse events:
Forsyth et al., NADH in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (10 mg/day)
*https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10071523/*
Demarin et al., NADH in Alzheimer’s Disease (10 mg/day)
*https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15134388/*
Castro‑Marrero et al., NADH + CoQ10 in CFS (20 mg/day)

Vitamin B3 regulatory perspective:
100 mg NADH ≈ 18.4 mg niacinamide – well under EU’s upper limit of 35 mg/day.
Efficacy at 10–20 mg/day
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome:
Forsyth et al. 1999 showed 31 % response in CFS vs 8 % placebo at 10 mg/day
