Modafinil (Provigil) is marketed as Alertec in Canada (a play on the word "alert", for its stimulating and wake-up functions). It's definitely a very different substance from NADH, a naturally-occurring molecule that is key to energy metabolism in cells.
If Enada NADH is being marketed over-the-counter as "Elertec" in Canada, this could certainly create confusion, and might be an attempt to compete with the (expensive) prescription drug Alertec, even though the mechanisms of action of the two substances are completely different. I hope they don't start selling NADH as "Previgil" or something in the U.S.!
