> NADH is not the same as ENADA NADH. "ENADA" is the trade name registered to the Menuco Corporation for their patented product. ENADA NADH is the only stabilized and orally absorbable form of NADH currently available. It is licensed to many different distributors so several brand names (GNC, Source Naturals, etc) of ENADA NADH are on the market. Prior to the development of the enteric-coated ENADA NADH tablets, NADH could only be given intravenously because stomach acid would rapidly destroy the delicate molecule. Like Larry, I also currently use the Source Naturals brand. However, it is my understanding that the active ingredient is the same in all brands so long as it says ENADA somewhere on the box.
Thanks for clarifying that.
> Wow, you have the forecasting of your cycling nailed down to a science. Can you also predict the weather? Refresh my memory, is your depression the atypical variety? If so, I think a trial of ENADA NADH is worthwhile for you....
My cycling is a LOT like the WEATHER! I was very fascinated with Atmospheric Science and Climatology in college. You should check out the Showalter (sp?) Instability Index (for atmospheric instability). It is the rate of change in temperature (in degrees C) as you climb altitude (as measured by weather balloons with transmitters and radar feedback-for altitude). It gets a little complicated with density things, but unstable air rises rapidly through the atmosphere. If I was going to do some sort of physical science thing-"weather" would be it. The behavioural neurologist I saw told me that I might benefit from moving to Southern CA or some other place that has a Mediterranean climate (hey I would move to Santiago, Chile in a heartbeat!).
Depressions are definitely atypical. I'm gaining weight and craving carbs already. Just slowly getting more sleepy.
