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.

3、Self-owned factories and obtained a number of international certifications to ensure high quality and stable supply of products of NAD powder
4、Multiple in vivo studies show that Bontac NAD powder is safe and effective
5、Provide one-stop product solution customization service
The preparation methods 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.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) has several essential roles in metabolism. It acts as a coenzyme in redox reactions, as a donor of ADP-ribose moieties in ADP-ribosylation reactions, as a precursor of the second messenger molecule cyclic ADP-ribose, as well as acting as a substrate for bacterial DNA ligases and a group of enzymes called sirtuins that use NAD+ to remove acetyl groups from proteins. In addition to these metabolic functions, NAD+ emerges as an adenine nucleotide that can be released from cells spontaneously and by regulated mechanisms, and can therefore have important extracellular roles.
First, inspect the factory. After some screening, NAD companied 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.
The difference all comes down to the charge of these coenzymes. NAD+ is written with a superscript + sign because of the positive charge on one of its nitrogen atoms. It is the oxidized form of NAD. It’s considered “an oxidizing agent” because it accepts electrons from other molecules.
Although they are different chemically, these terms are mostly used interchangeably when discussing their health benefits. Another term you may come across is NADH, which stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) + hydrogen (H). This is also used interchangeably with NAD+ for the most part. Both are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides that function as either hydride donors or hydride acceptors. The difference between these two is that that NADH becomes NAD+ after it donates an electron to another molecule.
Introduction Ginsenoside Rh2, one protopanaxadiol (PPD)-type rare ginsenoside in Panax ginseng, is uncovered to possibly have broad-spectrum pharmacological activity in diversified tumors. It is utilized as an adjuvant drug for preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy, postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, and rescue treatment of advanced cancer, which has been a research hotspot in recent years. Current states on cancer therapies Cancer has emerged as the second largest cause for death across the world, with approximately 9.6 million cancer-related deaths in 2018, in accordance with the statistical report by World Health Organization (WHO). Radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery are the preferred option for cancer, whose efficacy is however limited by the tumor relapse and drug resistance, requiring a patch such as adjuvant drugs to fix the bug. For anticancer treatment, over 60% of the approved and pre-new drug application candidates are natural products or synthetic molecules based upon natural product molecular skeletons. Strikingly, ginsenosides act as a promising therapeutic target by virtue of its pharmacological activities such as immune adjustment, anti-tumor, anti-oxidation, and protection of the heart and cerebral vessels. 20(S) ginsenoside Rh2 vs. 20(R) ginsenoside Rh2 There are two stereoisomeric forms of ginsenoside Rh2, namely 20(S) ginsenoside Rh2 and 20(R) ginsenoside Rh2. Relative to the (20R) ginsenoside Rh2, (20S) ginsenoside Rh2 has higher cytotoxic activity towards cancer cells. In a previously reported study, the half maximal inhibitory concentration values of 20(S) ginsenoside Rh2 and 20(R) ginsenoside Rh2 in A549 cells are 45.7 and 53.6 µM, respectively. The underlying mechanisms of ginsenoside Rh2 against tumor Mechanically, the anti-tumor effects of ginsenoside Rh2 are realized by enhancing the body’s immune activity to regulate microenvironment, inhibiting differentiation, angiogenesis, proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of tumor cells, inducing the apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, autophagy, superoxide and reactive oxygen species, and reversing the drug resistance via regulating a series of important tumor-related signaling pathway. For instance, ginsenoside Rh2 can activate CD4+ and CD8a+ T lymphocytes, promote their invasion, and enhance the killing effect of lymphocytes on B16-F10 melanoma cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Besides, the number of tumor cells in the G0/G1 phase is increased significantly post treatment with ginsenoside Rh2 and 5-FU, by which the expansion and migration of tumor cells are effectively hampered. Additionally, the ginsenoside Rh2 downregulates the levels of drug-resistance-related genes (eg. MRP1, MDR1, LRP and GST), making colorectal cancer cells more sensitive to 5-FU. Conclusion Ginsenoside Rh2 plays multifunctional roles in both tumor treatment and tumor microenvironment immunomodulation, which may become a promising choice of medication for patients with tumors in the future.

Introduction Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury has emerged as an urgent clinical issue that may offset the benefits of reperfusion therapy and even worsen the prognosis of acute myocardial infarction, a severe cardiovascular disease with significant mortality and morbidity. Nicotinamide riboside (NR), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) intermediate, has been unveiled to hold great therapeutic potential in myocardial I/R injury. About myocardial I/R injury Myocardial I/R injury refers to the damaging effects on cardiomyocytes or heart tissues following ischemia and the regaining of blood perfusion or oxygen supply, with characteristics of cell swelling, contracture of myofibrils, and disruption of the sarcolemma in myocardium. The mechanisms of myocardial I/R injury are extremely complex, chiefly involving cellular and molecular biological events such as cellular oxidative stress, intracellular calcium overload, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammatory response, apoptosis and autophagy. Strikingly, autophagy and oxidative stress have been perceived as vital factors in the treatment of myocardial I/R injury. The alleviating effects of NR on myocardial I/R injury in mice NR can improve the cardiac function of mice with myocardial I/R injury, and reduce the generation of myocardial injury- and oxidative stress-associated biomarkers. Herein, the optimal concentration of NR for protection against H/R injury is 10 mM. In vivo, NR diminishes the area of myocardial ischemic infarction, alleviates pathological myocardial changes, decreases inflammatory cell infiltration, and attenuates the levels of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as creatine kinase myocardial band (CK-MB). In vitro, NR pretreatment lessens the levels of lactate dehydrogenase, CK-MB, malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase and ROS, as well as the mortality of H9c2 cells after the induction of hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury. The significance of Sirt 1 pathway in the regulation of autophagy by NR Excessive autophagy can exacerbate I/R injury, giving rise to an increase in cardiomyocyte apoptosis and greater cardiac dysfunction. Noteworthily, NR can lead to the activation of Sirt 1, an NAD+-dependent enzyme, to protect the H9c2 cells against excessive autophagy, thereby alleviating the myocardial I/R injury. Post NR pre-treatment, the levels of autophagy-related proteins (Beclin 1, P62 and LC3II/LC3I) are apparently downregulated in the H9c2 cells challenged with H/R. Remarkably, the supplement of Sirt 1 inhibitor EX527 overtly attenuates NR-induced reduction in the expression levels of autophagy-related proteins under H/R conditions, hinting the significance of Sirt 1 in the regulation of autophagy by NR. Conclusion The myocardial I/R injury can be ameliorated by regulating the autophagy and oxidative stress with NR. On the one hand, NR can directly participate in oxidative reduction to lessen the level of oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes. On the other hand, NR can protect cardiomyocytes against excessive autophagy, which is possibly accomplished by increasing the NAD+ content in the body via the Sirt 1 pathway.
