in response to Leor and disney4:
Sorry for the short answer, I’ve been depressed lately, so limited energy.
The main benefit for the ENADA, is they claim their special process crosses the blood-brain barrier (so that it actually increases BRAIN dopamine. (take that with a grain of salt). Dopamine deficiency is usually related to lack of motivation (as opposed to sadness, or other aspects of depression).If you’ve never tried supplements for mood therapy, I would start with omega-3 fatty acid, since it has been CLINICALLY proven to have benefits for bipolar. I take omegabrite (an enhanced EPA formula, optimized for mood benefit).
Their phone number is (800) 383-2030. The benefit I get from Omegabrite is small, but important. I quit it, after being on it for a year, because I felt it wasn’t doing any good. Only to find that it WAS protecting me from “black hole” depression. After feeling suicidal, I decided it was worth the money, to go back on it (easy decision). I take 5 Omegabrite a day, which is about $70.00 a month. They recommend taking 800 I.U. vitamin e and some vitamin C along with it.But I would definitely consider the ENADA NADH as my second option (given my symptom of low motivation).
I’m so into supplements, because I have done about 20 drug trials, and get very limited results from the 4 drugs I’m on now. Which has forced me to look in other directions. Besides, the Omega-3’s have other health benefits as well (cholesterol, etc.)
I have a Micosoft Word document on both NADH and Omega-3, from LOTS of internet research, but both are about 12 pages long. So if you REALLY, REALLY want it, please send me a request, at andys@gotnet.net, and specify which you would like. But please have mercy on me, I've been really low energy lately, so don't ask for it, if you're not REALLY serious.
