In the brain, increased NADH concentrations may result in improved production of essential neurotransmitters. Large uncontrolled studies using oral or injected NADH to treat Parkinson’s disease showed reductions in physical disability and in the need for medication, A small uncontrolled study showed that oral NADH improved mental function in people with Alzheimer’s disease. Preliminary research suggests that NADH may also help people with depression or chronic fatigue syndrome.

» St. John’s Wort has a complex diverse chemical makeup that includes hypericin and other dianthrones, flavonoids, xanthones, and hyperforin. New research suggests that St. John’s wort extracts exert their antidepressant actions by inhibiting the reuptake of the neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.

» Valerian has been used for insomnia and nervous conditions for many centuries. By the eighteenth century, it was an accepted sedative and was also used for nervous disorders associated with a restless digestive tract. Central nervous system sedation is regulated by receptors in the brain known as GABA-A receptors. Valerian may weakly bind to these receptors to exert a sedating action. This might explain why valerian can help some people deal with stress more effectively. Double blind studies have repeatedly found that valerian is more effective than placebo and as effective as standard sleep medications for people with insomnia. Generally, valerian makes sleep more restful as well as making the transition to sleep easier.
