How does Energy Nutrients work to produce energy?Updated 4 months ago

The compound NADH is a nutrient for energy production in the cells of your body. NADH is the biologically active form of niacin, or vitamin B3, which converts into NADH. The steps are difficult for your body to go through, and it may not produce NADH even if you take niacin supplements separately. Mitochondria have to go through five different steps, or stages, in order to produce ATP. The first stage requires NADH and CoQ10, therefore support for this stage for many athletes, elderly people, or those experiencing high stress and illness can be beneficial. This complex is a popular choice for athletes because it can be useful to maintain aerobic respiration.
