NMN was only considered as a source of cellular energy and an intermediate in NAD+ biosynthesis, currently, the attention of the scientific community has been paid on anti-aging activity and a variety of health benefits and pharmacological activities of NMN which are related to the restoring of NAD+. Thus, NMN has therapeutic effects towards a range of diseases, including age-induced type 2 diabetes, obesity, cerebral and cardiac ischemia, heart failure and cardiomyopathies, Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, corneal injury, macular degeneration and retinal degeneration, acute kidney injury and alcoholic liver disease.
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.

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.
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 Artificial insemination with chilled ram semen is commonly used method in livestock industry. But storing sperm in chilled conditions may cause changes in sperm membrane function and structure, and shortens its lifespan. Notably, supplementation of β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) can raise ram sperm quality during storage at 4°C. Merits of artificial insemination with chilled ram semen The adoption of artificial insemination with chilled ram semen can ensure good breeding stock and accelerate the reproduction. By this way, the risk of diseases such as vibriosis, trichomoniasis, vaginitis, leptospirosis and brucellosis, which are transmitted by rams in natural breeding, can be reduced to a large extent. In addition, this method allows crossbreeding or purebreeding, and reduces the number of rams to be bred, which is beneficial and cost-effective. Importantly, this method can greatly avoid the risk of dystocia or injury due to the big size difference between rams and ewes during breeding. Chilled semen can be preserved semi-permanently to send far away, avoiding the trouble of transporting or moving breeding animals. The beneficial role of NMN in improving ram sperm quality Supplementation of NMN markedly improves the sperm motility, as evidenced by the obvious increases in the motility parameters such as total motility, progressive motility, straight-line velocity (VSL), average path velocity (VAP), linearity (LIN), curvilinear velocity (VCL), and straightness (STR). Meanwhile, NMN maintains the plasma membrane integrity and acrosome integrity. Note: (Figure A) White arrow: viable sperm with intact acrosome; green arrow: viable sperm with damaged acrosome; orange arrow: dead sperm with damaged acrosome; black arrow: dead sperm with intact acrosome (Figure B) White arrow: sperm with an intact plasma membrane; orange arrow: sperm with a damaged plasma membrane What’s more, NMN elevates the mitochondrial activity and antioxidant capacity, while reducing the sperm oxidative stress and apoptosis, as manifested by the downregulation of Cleaved-Caspase 3, Cleaved-Caspase 9, Bax, LPO, MDA, and ROS, as well as upregulation of Bcl-2, GSH and SOD in sperm. NMN as an anti-oxidant to improve ram sperm quality NMN can reduce ROS level and ROS-induced sperm damage to improve the quality of sperm, which may be attributed to its anti-oxidant property. Ram sperm contains a high content of PUFA in its plasma membrane, it is susceptible to oxidative stress. The antioxidants (enzymatic and non-enzymatic) in sperm can reduce free radicals to maintain sperm redox homeostasis and quench excessive ROS to prevent damage to sperm cells. Conclusion Supplementation of NMN can improve chilled ram sperm quality in vitro by reducing oxidative stress damage, showing its great potential in reproduction and breeding activities. The premium dosage of NMN vary in species. In view of its significant effect on ram sperm quality, the preferred dosage of NMN in this research is 60 μM.
