NMNH is more potent than NMN
when applied to cultured cells, the NMNH is shown to be more efficient than NMN as it was able to “significantly increase NAD+ at a ten times lower concentration (5 µM) than that needed for NMN”. Moreover, NMNH shows to be more effective, as at 500 µM concentration, it achieved “an almost 10- fold increase in the NAD+ concentration, while NMN was only able to double NAD+ content in these cells, even at 1 mM concentration.”.
Interestingly, NMNH also appears to act quicker and has a longer-lasting effect compared to NMN. According to the authors, NMNH induces a “significant increase in NAD+ levels within 15 minutes”, and “NAD+ steadily increased for up to 6 hours and remained stable for 24 hours, while NMN reached its plateau after only 1 hour, most likely because the NMN recycling pathways to NAD+ had already become saturated.”.
NADH powder manufacturing method
The main methods of NMNH 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.

NMNH also proved more effective than NMN in raising NAD+ levels in a variety of tissues when administered at the same concentration, confirming the results observed in cell lines. The data presented in this study also corroborate the evidence that NAD+ boosters protect against different models of acute kidney injury, and place NMNH as a great alternative intervention to other NAD+ precursors to reduce tubular damage and accelerate recovery.
To overcome the limitations of the current repertoire of NAD+ enhancers, other molecules with a more pronounced effect on the NAD+ intracellular pool are desired. This has stimulated us to investigate the use of the reduced form of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMNH) as an NAD+ enhancer. There is very scarce information about the role of this molecule in cells. In fact, only one enzymatic activity has been described to produce NMNH. This is the NADH diphosphatase activity of the human peroxisomal Nudix hydrolase hNUDT1232 and the murine mitochondrial Nudt13.33 It has been postulated that, in cells, NMNH would be converted to NADH via nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyl transferases (NMNATs).34 However, both NMNH production by Nudix diphosphatases and its use by NMNATs for NADH synthesis have only been described in vitro using isolated proteins, and how NMNH participates in cellular NAD+ metabolism remains unknown.
First, inspect the factory. After some screening, NMNH 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 NMNH 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 NMNH cannot be guaranteed, the remaining substances are likely to exceed the relevant standards. As the attached certificates demonstrates that the NMNH 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.

The Regulatory Targets and Mechanisms of Ginsenoside Rh2 for NSCLC
Introduction In the presence of oxygen, tumors produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through glycolysis instead of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, a phenomenon known as the “Warburg effect”. Aerobic glycolysis caused by an altered tumor microenvironment is an important factor contributing to malignant tumor progression. Ginsenoside Rh2 (Rh2) can specifically reverse the shift from tumor aerobic glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation to modulate the metabolic behavior of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ultimately promoting the “benignization” of NSCLC. The suppressive impacts of Rh2 on the malignant progression of NSCLC Rh2 inhibits the proliferation, invasion and migration, while promoting the apoptosis of NSCLC cells. Meanwhile, Rh2 treatment represses tumor lymph angiogenesis, as manifested by the obviously reduced expression of CD31. Moreover, Rh2 hinders the metastasis of NSCLC by inhibiting the epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), as evidenced by the upregulation of E-cadherin and downregulation of N-cadherin in lung tissues post Rh2 treatment. Underlying targets and mechanisms of Rh2 against NSCLC Rh2 hampers NSCLC aerobic glycolytic capacity, including glucose uptake and lactate production, through the HIF1-α/PDK4 pathway. Specifically, Rh2 targets hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1α to downregulate its expression, subsequently reducing the expression of PDK4, a pivotal enzyme during the glucose oxidation process. By this way, Rh2 further suppresses aerobic glycolysis, promotes mitochondrial aerobic oxidative process, and stimulates the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby promoting tumor cells to enter the normal apoptotic program. The efficacy of Rh2 combined with DCA in NSCLC Sodium dichloroacetate (DCA), an inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDKs), has been commonly used in clinical practice as an anticancer drug targeting glycolysis, yet it has hepatotoxicity and neurotoxicity at high doses. Notably, the combination of Rh2 with DCA dramatically reverses the biometabolic behaviors of tumors, and further reduces the dosage of DCA, which decreases the toxicity of DCA, greatly increasing the drug efficacy. Conclusion Rh2 shifts tumor metabolism from aerobic glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation through regulating the HIF1-α/PDK4 axis in NSCLCs. It activates the apoptotic program of NSCLCs and exerts a potentiating and toxicity-reducing effect when used in combination with chemotherapeutic agents DCA, hinting its potential as an adjuvant against tumors.

NAD+ Repletion as a Promising Senotherapeutic Agent
Introduction Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has become one of the leading cause of low vision and even blindness in the elderly, especially in those above 50. In 2020, approximately 1.8 million people aged over 50 are blinded by AMD and approximately 6.2 million people have moderate and severe visual impairment worldwide. By 2040, it is estimated that there will be about 288 million individuals with AMD worldwide. Strikingly, replenishing NAD+ may be a promising therapeutic option against early AMD. About AMD AMD is an aging phenotypes in the eyes, which mainly affects the central fixation point of eyes (macula). There are two types of AMD: dry AMD (non-exudative or atrophic) and wet AMD (neovascular or exudative). Almost all of the AMD cases starts with dry AMD. In AMD, loss of central vision can be severe and permanent. Remarkably, dietary supplements containing antioxidant vitamins, minerals (zinc and copper), lutein and zeaxanthin, to some extent, can alleviate the progress of early AMD. Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a derivative of vitamin B3 (niacin), has been unveiled to a promising senotherapeutic agent for AMD. Cholesterol overload as one of the triggers for AMD An imbalance between cholesterol influx (entry into cells) and efflux (exit from cells) can lead to intracellular cholesterol overload, which is the initiating event in diverse triggers of senescence including AMD. This surplus can initiate cytopathic and pathological processes that are detrimental to cell health. One specific consequence of a cholesterol efflux defect is the senescence of macrophages, which are immune cells that help to clean up cellular debris. Additionally, such a defect can lead to the accumulation of lipofuscin within the eyes. LXR/CD38/NAD+ axis underlying the development of AMD LXR/CD38 activation drives cholesterol-induced macrophage senescence and neurodegeneration via NAD+ depletion. Specifically, cholesterol accumulation in bone-marrow-derived macrophages deficient in cholesterol efflux upregulates the transcription of CD38 through LXR activation, which thereby promotes the degradation of NAD+ and induces the cellular senescence, eventually promoting AMD phenotype. Suppressive impacts of NAD+ augmentation upon macrophage senescence states in AMD model mice Cholesterol-mediated NAD+ depletion induces macrophage senescence and dysfunction, promoting subretinal lipid deposition and neurodegeneration, two key features of AMD. Replenishing NMN to augment NAD+ level reverses macrophage senescence and dysfunction, preventing the development of AMD phenotype, as indicated by the facilitated clearance of subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDDs) and the reduced accumulation of lipofuscin+ macrophages. Conclusion NAD+ deficit induced by excess intracellular cholesterol is the converging mechanism of macrophage senescence and a causal process underlying AMD. Supplementing NMN to boost NAD+ level serves as a promising senotherapeutic agent for age-related neurodegeneration.
