Meet NADH!



NADH is just one of the many ingredients in the phix family. In order to really appreciate what getting your phix can do for you, you gotta learn the basics. Scientists are still discovering what NADH is really all about. But in the meantime, here are a few facts:

- NADH is an enzyme that's found in the inner mitochondrial membrane of your body's cells, where much of your chemical energy gets movin' and shakin.'

- It's partially made from Vitamin B3. Just like all Vitamin B's, B3 helps the body convert carbs into sugar, which is then burned off to produce - you guessed it - energy.

- Your brain needs "oxidative energy metabolism" in order for you to get the right amount of energy. The "oxidative" part means that the elements gain electrons. Electrons carry energy. NADH provides just that - an oxidative energy metabolism.

- Energy is handed over to NADH after you eat. Then, the energy turns into ATP, which is your body's source of energy circulation.

- If you're stressed, fatigued, or you attend the kind of party that often results in a wicked hangover the next morning, your NADH level will drop. Meaning, your energy level will drop. Meaning, you won't feel very good.

- NADH is very expensive, and costs 5,000 BUCKS per pound, which is why most other products don’t have it. One serving of phix contains a full research dose of NADH - that would cost you about $2 per pill alone!

According to sources such as SupplementNews.org, scientists have also found NADH a great form of therapy for people with chronic fatigue syndrome, or CFS. "In a study of 35 patients meeting the criteria for CFS, 10 milligrams per day of NADH or placebo was administered for 4 weeks. After a week washout period, each group received the other treatment. The results of the study showed that NADH significantly improved the symptom score when compared to placebo."

In addition, NADH has also shown to have positive effects on those with Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's and other disorders which impair oxygen flow to the brain. It can also reduce the effects of jet lag, in that it helps get that internal clock of yours ticking again.



NADH has even been used in the spatial memory-testing experiment of the Morris water maze, in which a rat is repeatedly placed into a small pool of water, and must swim around in search of a platform. When administered, NADH has improved the animals' performance.

So, humans (and rats) have seen the benefits of this energetic enzyme, and phix is proud to call NADH one of its many trusty ingredients.
