The preparation methods utilized by manufacturers worldwide of NAD powder are mainly divided into chemical synthesis method and biocatalytic method, among which biocatalytic method includes biological fermentation method and enzyme catalysis method. Enzyme catalysis method has gradually become the mainstream direction because of its advantages of green, environmental protection and pollution-free. And then the purity of NAD powder will reach 99% after the procedure of further purifying. But some NAD manufacturers tend to choose the multiple methods to develop the producing of NAD.
Molecules that can be taken in supplement form to increase NAD levels in the body are referred to by some as “NAD boosters.” Studies conducted over the past six decades suggest that the following are some of the many benefits associated with taking an NAD supplement:
Can Help Restore Mitochondrial Function
Helps Repair Blood Vessels —A 2018 mice study found that supplementation could aid in repair and growth of aged blood vessels. There’s also some evidence it can help manage heart disease risk factors like high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
May Improve Muscle Function — One animal study conducted in 2016 found that degenerative muscles had improved muscle function when supplemented with NAD+ precursors.
Potentially Helps Repair Cells and Damaged DNA — Some studies have found evidence that NAD+ precursor supplementation leads to an increase in DNA damage repair. NAD+ is broken down into two component parts, nicotinamide and ADP-ribose, which combine with proteins to repair cells.
May Help Improve Cognitive Function — Several studies conducted on mice have found that mice treated with NAD+ precursors experienced improvements in cognitive function, learning and memory. Findings have led researchers to believe that NAD supplement may help protect against cognitive decline/Alzheimer’s disease.
May Help Prevent Age-Related Weight Gain — A 2012 study showed that when mice fed a high-fat diet were given an NAD supplement, they gained 60 percent less weight than they did on the same diets without the supplement. One reason this may be true is that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide helps regulate production of stress- and appetite-related hormones, thanks to its effects on circadian rhythms.
Precursors are molecules used in chemical reactions inside the body to create other compounds. There are a number of precursors of NAD+ that result in higher levels when you consume enough of them.
1.Prevention and treatment of viral-induced inflammatory storms
Scientists have found after extensive research that neo-coronavirus has a mechanism similar to SARS virus to activate inflammatory vesicles NLRP3. and the activation of NLRP3 produces more inflammatory factors, generating excessive inflammation and thus triggering a deadly cytokine storm. This problem can be well addressed by NAD+, which inhibits the activity of NF-κB inflammatory pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome by increasing the activity of sirtuins (SIRT1, SIRT2 and SIRT3), thus preventing cytokine storm caused by excessive inflammation. Therefore, Sinclair and other scientists believe that increasing the concentration of NAD+ may play an important role in the prevention and treatment of neocoronavirus and other viral infections.
2.Restoration of virus-induced metabolic disorders
NAD+ is an essential coenzyme for many cellular energy metabolic pathways, present in every cell of the body, involved in thousands of reactions, and an important player in maintaining cellular viability. In the COVID-19 infection model, NAD+ and NMN supplementation was found to be effective in alleviating cell death and protecting the lung.
First, inspect the factory. After some screening, NAD manufactures that directly face consumers pay more attention to brand building. Therefore, for a good brand, quality is the most important thing, and the first thing to control the quality of raw materials is to inspect the factory. Bontac company actually manufacturing NAD powder of high quality with the caterias of SGS. Secondly, the purity is tested. Purity is one of the most important parameters of NAD powder. If high purity NAD cannot be guaranteed, the remaining substances are likely to exceed the relevant standards. As the attached certificates demonstrates that the NAD powder produced by Bontac reach the purity of 99.9%. Finally, a professional test spectrum is needed to prove it. Common methods for determining the structure of an organic compound include Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Usually through the analysis of these two spectra, the structure of the compound can be preliminarily determined.
In the international market, NAD+ food supplements are in production in the United States, the Australian Food and Drug Administration has approved NAD+ products for sale, and Japanese NAD+ manufactures are devoted to extend the market share in China. Li Ka-shing invested HK$200 million in the US NAD manufacturer, whose NAD+ products are being sold by Watsons in Hong Kong! Then Mclane, a company owned by Warren Buffett also joined the NAD market.
1.Introduction A series of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease, are accompanied with bioenergetic maladaptations and axonopathy with the increasing age. As a key coenzyme in energy metabolism, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) plays a critical role in maintaining axonal health in central neural system. 2.NMNAT2 as the major source of NAD in cortical neurons NAD is mainly synthesized by nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyl transferase 2 (NMNAT2). NMNAT2 is pivotal for maintaining NAD redox potential in distal axons, where it provides the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) required for fast axonal transport. Furthermore, NMNAT2 is the main source of NAD in cortical neurons, as evidenced by the reduction of NAD + and NADH levels by approximately 50% in the absence of NMNAT2. 3. The restoring effect of NAD+ supplementation on APP transport via glycolysis in the absence of NMNAT2 Exogenous NAD+ supplementation to NMNAT2-deficient neurons restores glycolysis and resumes fast axonal transport, as manifested by the diminished percentage of stationary/dynamic pause events, the elevated percentage of anterograde and retrograde events, and the restored anterograde and retrograde velocities of APP transport. 4. The molecular mechanism of NAD in protecting axonal health Remarkably, reducing the activity of SARM1, an NAD degradation enzyme, can reduce axonal transport deficits and suppress axon degeneration in NMNAT2-deficient neurons. SARM1 knockdown prevents the reduction in NAD+/NADH ratio normally caused by NMNAT2 loss. Blocking NAD+ degradation by reducing SARM1 abundance protects axons during NMNAT2 loss in vivo and in vitro. 5. Conclusion NAD+ supplementation or repressing the level of SARM1, an NAD + hydrolase, can effectively restore fast axonal transport and prevent the neurodegeneration commonly observed in NMNAT2-deficient axons both in vitro and in vivo, shedding a light on the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders of aging.

1. Introduction Supplementation of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) to upregulate the level of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) has been unveiled to be a promising anti-aging intervention. However, it is still a serious challenge to accurately quantify NAD+ intermediates, NMN in particular. This study is powered to introduce a novel method, double isotope-mediated LC-MS/MS methodology (dimeLC-MS/MS), for the precise quantification of NMN in biological samples. 2. Factors affecting the accurate detection of NMN NMN is hard to be accurately detected due to its vulnerability to enzymatic degradation, conversion in sample processing, its complex behaviors in different column and extraction conditions, as well as matrix effect. Specifically, NMN has the properties of high polarity and low volatility, which is easy to dissolve in water but difficult to dissolve in organic solvents. These properties greatly restrict the application of many conventional quantitative analysis methods. Biological samples such as blood carries significant activities of CD38 and CD73 (ecto-5’-nucleotidase), both of which could use NMN as a substrate. The behavior of NMN in the column is very complex probably because of the bipartite nature of its charges so that subtle differences in extraction and column conditions significantly affect the reliable and accurate detection of NMN. 3. Coping strategies of dimeLC-MS/MS to reduce the impact of impact factors To avoid the interference of above-mentioned factors, a prototype column NMN-2 is applied. This column contains C18-based high-purity silica particles which are more capable of binding hydrophilic compounds than carbon particles, improving the ability of separation. Perchloric acid (PCA) is employed since it can efficiently extract NAD+ and NMN from biological samples such as plasma with minimal losses. To adjust for matrix effects, a fixed amount (1 μM) of each isotopic compound is added to biological samples prior to the PCA extraction. 4. The advantages of dimeLC-MS/MS Double isotopic NMN standards, NMN (M + 14) and NMN (M + 5), in the LC-MS/MS-driven methodology can precisely trace the fate of NMN during sample processing, which significantly increases the accuracy and the reliability of NMN measurement in biological samples. Besides, dimeLC-MS/MS can evaluate the extraction efficiency and the absolute concentrations of NMN in different types of biological samples. 5. Conclusion This new LC-MS/MS-driven methodology with double isotopic NMN standards can accurately and reliably measure NMN in biological samples. It can be used for future studies on NMN intake. 6.

Introduction Replenishing nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) to raise the availability of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) has been deemed as effective approach to prevent neurodegeneration in aging and pathological conditions including ALS, a fatal progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no known way to cure. The association of SOD1 and TDP-43 with ALS Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is the first identified protein associated with familial ALS. In most ALS cases, Transactive Response DNA Binding Protein 43 (TDP-43) pathology is frequently observed. Both SOD1 and TDP-43 have tight association with motor neuron degeneration in patients with ALS. Mutant SOD1 could affect the solubility/insolubility of TDP-43 through physical interactions. Mutant SOD1G93A and the fragment form of TDP-43 can exert synergistic effect to mediate toxic events in apoptosis. The protective effect of NMN on motor neurons NMN can increase the neurite length and complexity in mouse motor neurons and iPSC-derived human motor neurons overexpressing wild-type TDP-43/mutant hSOD1G93A. Meanwhile, it prevents the neuronal death and increased nitro-tyrosine immunoreactivity induced by trophic factor deprivation. In motor neurons overexpressing mutant hSOD1G93A, the neuroprotection conferred by NMN supplementation is mediated by a mechanism that involves an increase in glutathione content. However, this neuroprotective effect does not involve the alteration of glutathione content in non-transgenic or TDP-43 overexpressing motor neurons. The involvement of TDP-43 pathology in ALS NMN supplementation can confer axonal protection in motor neurons isolated from two dissimilar models of ALS, with and without involvement of TDP-43 pathology. Besides, NMN treatment correct the morphological changes induced by TDP-43 overexpression in motor neurons and boost the nuclear localization of TDP-43 and phosphorylated TDP-43, which favors its nuclear localization and averts the detrimental effects of TDP-43 overexpression on neurite length and complexity. Conclusion Supplementation of NAD+ precursor NMN can modulate neurite complexity and survival in motor neurons, showing great therapeutic potential in the context of ALS pathology.
