Hi Essence,
Modafinil and NADH (Enada or any other form) are completely different substances. NADH is a naturally-occurring chemical that is present in all cells in your body. It's involved in helping get energy from food. The idea behind NADH supplements seems to be that they can accelerate or supplement this process, and therefore allow your cells to harness energy more quickly.
Modafinil is a synthetic stimulant that affects neurotransmitters in your brain in a way that isn't well understood, but enhances wakefulness, and may also help with depression, ADD, etc. It has absolutely no connection with NADH, except maybe in some extremely roundabout way.
Comparing NADH to modafinil would be somewhat like comparing Prozac to proteins; they aren't the same thing at all.
