I recall when I took Biiology, that I asked the professor this very question and he said that it would likely help with energy. I recall seeing it at the health food store and it is expensive. I would double check dosages.

NADH
NADH (a form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a
coenzyme that assists enzymes involved in
energy production within mitochondria. NADH plays an important role in the generation of ATP, the body's energy currency, and has been found to be deficient in several age-related degenerative diseases. Uncontrolled studies in Europe have found NADH beneficial for patients
suffering from Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and depression (Birkmayer, et al, 1990). NADH also is needed for the regeneration of glutathione after it becomes oxidized (Sies and Stahl, 1995; Kehrer and Lund, 1994). If NADH levels are depleted, glutathione levels also may fall. Thus, supplementation with NADH also may help restore glutathione to its active form.
