NADH

β-Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Disodium (NADH) is an important coenzyme form that participates in the energy metabolism and antioxidant reactions of cells and is widely used in medicine, health products and cosmetics.

1. Chemical properties

· Molecular formula: C21H27N7Na2O14P2

· Molecular weight: 709.4 g/mol

· Appearance: Usually white or off-white powder, easily soluble in water, and the aqueous solution is neutral to slightly alkaline.

2. Main functions

· Energy metabolism: β-Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Disodium is an important energy transfer molecule in cells, participates in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation process, helps cells produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and is a key substance for cell energy metabolism.

· Antioxidant effect: As a coenzyme, NADH can help remove free radicals in the body, reduce the damage of oxidative stress to cells, and play an anti-aging and cell health protection role.

· Neuroprotection: Studies have shown that NADH has a certain protective effect on nerve cells, can promote nerve conduction and brain health, and has potential applications in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

· Immunomodulation: NADH also participates in the repair mechanism of cells, enhances the body's immunity, and helps maintain a healthy immune system function.

3. Application areas

· Medical field: As a coenzyme drug for the treatment of metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In particular, it is used as an adjuvant treatment for Parkinson's disease, which can improve the patient's energy metabolism and neurological function.

· Health care products: NADH is widely used in health foods as an energy supplement to help relieve fatigue, enhance physical strength, improve antioxidant capacity and delay aging.

· Cosmetics: Due to its antioxidant and anti-aging effects, NADH is used in anti-aging and anti-wrinkle products, which helps improve skin condition and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

4. Usage method

· Oral: As a health care product or medicine, it is usually taken orally in the form of capsules or tablets for energy supplementation or treatment of neurological diseases.

· Injection: In some clinical treatments, NADH may be used in the form of injections to treat specific diseases.

· External use: In cosmetics, NADH can be applied topically to help improve the skin's radiance and elasticity.

· Safety: β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleoside disodium is generally considered safe, but long-term high-dose use still requires attention to possible side effects.

β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleoside disodium (NADH) is an important coenzyme with multiple physiological functions and is widely used in improving energy metabolism, anti-aging, neuroprotection and other fields. Whether in medicine or health products and cosmetics, it is a very promising ingredient that can promote health and delay aging, and has a high market demand.
