Zusammenfassung

Ziel dieser prospektiven randomisierten placebokontrollierten Doppelblindstudie war die Erhebung des Einflusses einer vierwöchigen NADH-Supplementation in Kombination mit einem Trainingsprogramm auf kognitive Fähigkeiten, Gesundheitszustand und auf die physische und physische Leistungsfähigkeit eines untrainierten Kollektivs. 27 statistisch vergleichbare gesunde Erwachsene nahmen vier Wochen lang an einem gezielten Trainingsprogramm teil und erhielten parallel entweder 10 mg NADH/Tag oder ein wirkstofffreies Placebopräparat. Die Sportintervention allein führte zu einer Verbesserung in sämtlichen getesteten Bereichen (motorische und kognitive Fähigkeiten, gesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualität). Die NADH-Supplementation resultierte in einer zusätzlichen Verbesserung des Gesamtgesundheitszustands sowie in einer 14,3%igen Steigerung der kognitiven Fähigkeiten im Vergleich zur Placebogruppe.

Abstract

The aim of this prospective randomized placebo-controlled double-blind study was to evaluate the influence of a four-week NADH supplementation in combination with an exercise program on cognitive functions, health status, and on physical and mental performance in an untrained collective. Twenty-seven statistically comparable healthy adults participated in a directed exercise program for 4 weeks while taking either 10 mg NADH/day or a placebo preparation. The exercise intervention alone resulted in improvement in all tested domains (motor and cognitive skills, health-related quality of life). NADH supplementation resulted in an additional improvement in overall health status and a 14.3 % increase in cognitive abilities compared with the placebo group.
