BONTAC NMN product features and advantages

NMN powder manufacturing method

NMN powder in general is typically produced via chemical or enzymatic synthesis, or fermentation biosynthesis. There are pros and cons to all three methods.
Chemical synthesis is expensive and labor intensive, and all raw ingredients used are categorized as “unnatural,” i.e., not from biological systems. There are, however, some advantages from the manufacturer’s perspective. The yield is well suited to mass NMN powder production, and all of those unnatural raw ingredients can be carefully controlled. But there are a number of drawbacks as well. Some of the solvents used in the manufacturing process are seriously bad from an environmental standpoint, and impurities and by-products can be challenging to remove from the finished product – that’s seriously bad for the consumer.
Enzymatic production of NMN powder, on the other hand, is considered a “green preparation method.” Like the chemical route, it’s pricey, but it offers a higher yield and impressively high purity. The finished NMN ticks all the boxes – stable, easily absorbed, lightweight, low density, and a low molecular structure.
Fermentation has also been explored as a method of producing NMN, but yield, though high quality, is pretty abysmal, so many supplement companies quite sensibly look to other, more efficacious processes.

Frequently Asked Question

Do you have any question?

Aging, as a natural process is identified by downregulation of energy production in mitochondria of various organs such as brain, adipose tissue, skin, liver, skeletal muscle and pancreas due to the depletion of NAD+ . NAD+ levels in the body decrease as a consequence of increasing NAD+ consuming enzymes when aging There are three different biosynthesis pathways to produce NAD+ in mammalian cells including de novo synthesis from tryptophan, salt and Preiss-Handler pathways. Among these three pathways, NMN is an interproduct by is involved in NAD+ biosynthesis through salt and Preiss-Handler pathways. The salvage pathway is the most efficient and the main route for the NAD+ biosynthesis, in which nicotinamide and 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate are converted to NMN with the enzyme of NAMPT followed by conjugation to ATP and conversion to NAD by NMNAT. Furthermore, NAD+ consuming enzymes are responsible for degradation of NAD+ and consequence nt formation of nicotinamide as a by-product.

The safety of NMN powder cannot be assessed since required clinical and toxicological studies have not been completed yet to establish the recommended safe levels for long term administration. Nevertheless, their safety and efficacy are uncertain and unreliable since most of them have not been back by Rigorous scientific preclinical and clinical testing. This issue has been arisen as manufacturers are hesitant to pay for research and clinical trials due to potential lower profit margin, and there is no authorizing agency to regulate NMN products because it is often product sold as functional food than heavily regulated therapeutic drug. Therefore, more strict approval process has been demanded by consumer advocacy groups requesting regulatory agencies to set standard and restrictions for marketing anti-aging health products, considering safety, health and wellbeing of N red besumers. a panacea for the elderly, because boosting NAD levels when not required may yield some detrimental effects. Therefore, the dose and frequency of NMN supplementation should be carefully prescribed depending on the type of age-related deficiency and all other confronting health conditions of the people. Other NAD precursors over have been studied to diverse age-related deficiencies and they are used for particular deficiencies, only after they are proven for effectiveness and safe to use. Therefore, the same principle should be applied to NMN as well

First, inspect the factory. After some screening, NMN 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 NMN powder of high quality with the caterias of SGS. Secondly, the purity is tested. Purity is one of the most important parameters of NMN powder. If high purity NMN cannot be guaranteed, the remaining substances are likely to exceed the relevant standards. As the attached certificates demonstrates that the NMN powder produced by Bontac reach the purity of 99.9%. Finally, a professional test spectrum is needed to prove it. Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Usually through the analysis of these two spectra, the structure of the compound ca n be preliminarily determined.

Targeting NAD+ Salvage Pathway as a Potential Approach to Combat Obesity

Introduction Mar 4th is determined as the World Obesity Day. World Obesity Federation, UNICEF and WHO have hosted a global youth-led webinar to talk about obesity & youth. The obesity crisis has gradually attracted much attention. The latest report by the Lancet suggests that one billion people are bothered by obesity (2022), with 650 million adults, 340 million adolescents and 39 million children. Recently, etiological studies and interventions for obesity have been progressively focused on the central nervous system, with an attempt to curb the onset of obesity at its source. Notably, targeting NAD+ salvage pathway in hypothalamic astrocytes may be a potential approach to combat obesity. The association of hypothalamic astrocytes and obesity The hypothalamus functions as the appetite regulation center, which receives and integrates the neuroendocrine factors produced by the central nervous system and peripheral tissues to promote or suppress appetite, so as to affect body weight. Noteworthily, aypothalamic astrocytes can apparently decrease glucose clearance and increase plasma insulin levels, playing an essential role in modulating energy metabolism, which are expected to be a new target for obesity treatment. Alleviation of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity by repressing astrocyte NAD+ salvage pathway Under conditions of excessive fat intake, the NAD+ salvage pathway is specifically activated in hypothalamic astrocytes, which restrains the energy expenditure (EE) and fat oxidation in adipose tissues by downregulating sympathetic nerve innervation, eventually resulting in the accumulation of adipose tissue fat and the development of obesity. CD38 as a downstream mediator of astrocyte inflammation induced by the NAD+ salvage pathway. CD38 functions downstream of the NAD+ salvage pathway in hypothalamic astrocytes burdened with excess fat. CD38 knockdown in arcuate nucleus astrocytes diminishes the weight gain, reduces fat mass, increases EE, and lowers RER during HFD consumption. Cd38 depletion in hypothalamic astrocytes may improve hypothalamic inflammation by increasing NAD+ level. Hypothalamic inflammation can not only lead to energy imbalances, but also exacerbate central insulin resistance and leptin resistance, which can lead to the accumulation of fat in peripheral tissues. The role of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT)–NAD+–CD38 axis in obesity In mammals, the salvage pathway represents the primary means of maintaining cellular NAD+ level. A crucial step in the NAD+ salvage pathway is catalyzed by NAMPT. In response to fat overload, the activation of the astrocytic NAMPT-NAD+-CD38 axis induces pro-inflammatory responses in the hypothalamus, eliciting aberrantly activated basal Ca2+ signals and compromised Ca2+ responses to metabolic hormones such as insulin, leptin, and glucagon-like peptide 1, ultimately resulting in dysfunctional hypothalamic astrocytes and contribute to the development of obesity. Conclusion Mechanically, inhibition of hypothalamic astrocytic NAD+ salvage pathway, along with its downstream CD38, mitigates hypothalamic inflammation and attenuates the development of HFD-induced obesity in male mice.

A Scientific Method for Quantifying NMN in Biological Samples

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.
