Improved energy levels
Not only does NADH act as an important coenzyme in aerobic respiration, the [H] of NADH also carries a large amount of energy. Studies have demonstrated that extracellular use of NADH promotes increased intracellular ATP levels, suggesting that NADH penetrates cell membranes and elevates intracellular energy levels. On a macro level, exogenous supplementation of NADH helps to restore energy and enhance appetite. The increase in energy levels in the brain also helps to improve mental performance and sleep quality. NADH has been used overseas to improve chronic fatigue syndrome, increase exercise endurance, jet lag and other areas.
Cellular protection
NADH is a strong antioxidant that naturally occurs in cells and reacts with free radicals to inhibit lipid peroxidation, protecting mitochondrial membranes and mitochondrial function. It has been found that NADH can reduce oxidative stress in cells caused by various factors such as radiation, drugs, toxic substances, strenuous exercise and ischemia, thus protecting vascular endothelial cells, hepatocytes, cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts and neurons. Therefore, injectable or oral NADH is used clinically to improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and as an adjunct to cancer radiotherapy. Topical NADH has been shown to be effective in the treatment of rosacea and contact dermatitis.
Promotion of neurotransmitter production
Studies have shown that NADH significantly promotes the production of the neurotransmitter dopamine, a chemical signal that is essential for short-term memory, involuntary movements, muscle tone and spontaneous physical responses. It also mediates the release of growth hormone and determines muscle movement. Without sufficient dopamine, muscles become stiff. Parkinson's disease, for example, is caused in part by a disruption of dopamine synthesis in brain cells. Preliminary clinical data suggest that NADH can help improve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease [9]. NADH also promotes the biosynthesis of norepinephrine and serotonin, showing good potential for use in the relief of depression and Alzheimer's disease.
The main methods of NADH powder preparation include extraction, fermentation, fortification, biosynthesis and organic matter synthesis. Compared with other preparations, the whole enzyme become the mainstream method owing to the advantages of pollution free, high level of purity and stability.

NADH is synthesized by the body and thus is not an essential nutrient. It does require the essential nutrient nicotinamide for its synthesis, and its role in energy production is certainly an essential one. In addition to its role in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, NADH is produced in the cytosol. The mitochondrial membrane is impermeable to NADH, and this permeability barrier effectively separates the cytoplasmic from the mitochondrial NADH pools. However, cytoplasmic NADH can be used for biologic energy production. This occurs when the malate-aspartate shuttle introduces reducing equivalents from NADH in the cytosol to the electron transport chain of the mitochondria. This shuttle mainly occurs in the liver and heart.
The action of supplemental NADH is unclear. Oral NADH supplementation has been used to combat simple fatigue as well as such mysterious and energy-sapping disorders as chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Researchers are also studying the value of NADH supplements for improving mental function in people with Alzheimer's disease, and minimizing physical disability and relieving depression in people with Parkinson's disease. Some healthy individuals also take NADH supplements orally to improve concentration and memory capacity, as well as to increase athletic endurance. However, to date there have been no published studies to indicate that using NADH is in any way effective or safe for these purposes
First, inspect the factory. After some screening, NADH companies 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 NADH 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 NADH powder produced by Bontac reach the purity of 99%. 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.
Introduction Ginsenoside Rg3 is Panaxanediol type tetracyclic triterpenoid saponin monomer extracted from the root of Panax ginseng, which has a wide range of pharmacological effects including anti-tumor, neuroprotection, cardiovascular protection, anti-fatigue, anti-oxidation, hypoglycemia, and enhancement of immune function. This research unveils the potential value of ginsenoside Rg3 in targeting breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) to treat breast cancer, one of the most common tumor worldwide with significant morbidity and mortality. Ginsenoside Rg3 as anticancer adjuvant Ginsenoside Rg3 can promote the apoptosis of tumor cells, and inhibit tumor growth, infiltration, invasion, metastasis and neovascularization. At the same time, it has the effect of reducing toxicity, increasing efficacy in the joint application with chemotherapeutic drugs, improving immunity of the organism, and reversing multi-drug resistance of tumor cells. Shenyi capsule, a new anticancer drug with ginsenoside Rg3 monomer as the main component, was approved by China FDA and marketed in 2003, which is mainly used in the adjuvant treatment of various tumors. About BCSCs Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are a group of undifferentiated cells with strong ability of self-renewal and differentiation, which is the main reason for poor clinical outcomes and poor efficacy. BCSCs can clonally proliferate under serum-free three-dimensional culture conditions and form mammospheres. BCSCs have specific surface markers (CD44, CD24, CD133, OCT4 and SOX2) or enzymes (ALDH1). BCSCs function as potential drivers of breast cancer, which are resistant to conventional breast cancer clinical treatments such as radiotherapy, leading to breast cancer recurrence and metastasis. The suppressive effect of ginsenoside Rg3 in the progression of breast cancer Ginsenoside Rg3 exerts inhibitory effects on the viability and clonogenicity of breast cancer cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. In addition, it suppresses mammosphere formation, as evidenced by the spheroid number and diameter. Furthermore, ginsenoside Rg3 reduces the expression of stem cell-related factors (c-Myc, Oct4, Sox2, and Lin28), and decreases the ALDH (+) subpopulation breast cancer cells. Ginsenoside Rg3 as an accelerator of MYC mRNA degradation Ginsenoside Rg3 depresses BCSCs mainly through downregulating the expression of MYC, one of the main cancer stem cell reprogramming factors with a pivotal role in tumor initiation. Its regulatory effect on MYC mRNA stability is chiefly achieved by promoting the microRNA let-7 cluster. Under normal conditions, the let7 family is expressed at low levels in cancer cells, resulting in stable MYC mRNA expression and high c-Myc expression. However, Rg3 treatment leads to the upregulation of let-7 cluster, impairment of MYC mRNA stability, downregulation of c-Myc expression and inhibition of breast cancer stem-like properties. Conclusion The traditional Chinese herbal monomer ginsenoside Rg3 has the potential to suppress breast cancer stem-like properties by destabilizing MYC mRNA at the post-transcriptional level, showing great promise as adjuvant for the treatment of breast cancer.

1. Introduction Age-related NAD+ depletion affects physiological functions and contributes to various aging-related diseases. NAD+ precursors can significantly elevate NAD+ level in murine tissues, effectively mitigate metabolic syndrome, enhance cardiovascular health, protect against neurodegeneration, and boost muscular strength, with broad prospect in the anti-aging-related field. 2. The synthesis and metabolism of NAD+ in age-related pathologies NAD+ is synthesized from NAD+ precursors and amino acids tryptophan via three main pathways: De novo, Preiss-Handler, and Salvage. Supplementation of NAD+ precursors can be advantageous in maintaining normal cellular metabolism regulated by NAD+ and NAD+-dependent enzymes such as Sirtuins, PARP, CD38, and SARM1. NAD+ intermediates require conversion into NA to elevate NAD+ level. NAD+ and its metabolism-related enzymes have very important roles in biological processes such as cellular metabolic processes, gene expression, apoptosis and carcinogenesis. NAD+ repletion is drawing attention as an anti-aging intervention. NAD+ precursors, such as NA, NAM, NR, and NMN, provide beneficial effects in various preclinical disease models of age-induced deficits, including metabolic disorders, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative diseases, and musculoskeletal diseases. 3. Comparison on the efficacy of replenishing NAD precursors in pre-clinical studies and clinical studies in age-related pathologies The downregulation of NAD+ level in cells and tissues is not a universal phenomenon for aging-related pathologies. NAD+ merely decreases with age in certain tissues. The efficacy of NAD+ precursors in clinical studies has been limited in comparison with that in the pre-clinical studies. Noteworthily, this issue can be addressed as long as much attention has been paid to the metabolism of NAD. With regards to the oral supplementation of NAD+ precursors, there is obvious link between NAD metabolism and gut microbes. Specifically, oral consumption of NMN is converted into NAMN through interaction with the gut microbiome. In addition, dietary NAM and NR are converted into NA through gut microbiota. 4. Future research directions regarding the NAD+ metabolism It is fundamental to consider how the gut microbiome affects NAD+ metabolism, and changes in microbiome composition may affect the availability of NAD+ precursors. Future studies also require the comparative analysis of different precursors, and the role of gut microbiomes regarding various intermediaries needs to be investigated. Assessment of how NAD+ precursors affect microbiota and how their interaction with NAD+ metabolism benefits the physiological condition is essential for future preclinical and clinical studies. 5. Conclusion Supplementation of suitable NAD+ precursors or intervening in NAD+ metabolism can restore the body's NAD+ level, which is of great practical significance for effectively improving aging-related diseases and prolonging healthy life span is of great practical significance for effectively improving aging-related diseases and prolonging healthy life span. NAD metabolism involves gut microbiome, and in-depth research on their interaction is possibly an important breakthrough in the future to combat aging-related pathologies.
