   It was a privilege to meet Professor George Birkmayer back in 2010 at the Dubai Congress of Anti-Aging Medicine. I was so thrilled to attend his lecture about “the secret of our life energy: NADH” who presented me with his book “NADH: The Biological Hydrogen – The Secret of Our Life Energy” 

Professor George Birkmayer, M.D., Ph.D., is the developer of stabilized NADH, and the discoverer of the therapeutic effect of NADH, also known as Coenzyme-1, which exhibits  energizing effects for all bodily functions and organs. He is a world-renowned biochemical researcher and was the Medical Director of the Birkmayer Institute for Parkinson's Therapy, which has treated thousands of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease after having studied the biochemical connections between Parkinson and NADH .

 The more NADH a cell has available, the more energy it can produce, the better it functions and the longer the cell (and the entire organism) lives. 

Though NADH is present in our foods, we take in only marginal amounts of it from our daily diet. Most of the NADH is destroyed during the cooking process. The situation would not be greatly improved even if our diet consisted mostly of raw meat and fish, as the NADH present in these foods is degraded within seconds by the acid environment produced by the gastric juices in the stomach.

         Highlights of our conversation:

1. Biological Functions of NADH.

2. How it was created as a tablet form to be bioavailable on the human organism.

3. Health benefits of NADH.

4. NADH is also used for improving athletic endurance and treating chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). NADH Rapid, formulated by Professor Birkmayer how rapidly it can enhance energy levels. 

5. How long a person can maintain heightened energy levels after taking NADH Rapid?

6. How does it affect sleep? The regulation of Circadian Rhythm.

7. Who can take NADH? How long can someone take it?

8. NADH can interact with Telomerase enzyme in order to stop, slow or reverse the telomere shortening that happens as we age.

9. Maintenance of a healthy weight with NADH Kilow.
