NADPH is a reduced form of NADP+. The latter features an extra hydrogen ion in its chemical structure. When NADP+ transforms into NADPH, the other hydrogen ion  is released as part of the reaction while the other hydrogen ion becomes a part of the NADPH structure. This reaction happens during photosynthesis.
