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 Rare ginsenoside Rg3, an active extract from Panax ginseng, is reported to possess a wide range of pharmacological properties including anti-angiogenesis and anti-cancer, with high lipophilicity (estimated log P4) and a low water solubility at pH7.4. Nevertheless, its permeability and bioavailability are relatively low, and production procedures are complex. Remarkably, the metabolites of Rg3 have similar and even stronger activity than Rg3, opening up new opportunities for future adjuvant cancer therapy. The association of ginsenoside Rg3 and its metabolites There are two epimers of ginsenoside Rg3, which can be subsequently deglycosylated into epimers of ginsenoside Rh2 (S-Rh2 and R-Rh2) and protopanaxadiol (S-PPD and R-PPD). The anti-cancer properties of Rg3 metabolites Angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation are both interdependent factors in tumor progression. In terms of anti-proliferation, Rg3 metabolites, who induce S-phase arrest and necroptosis in a human triple negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 as well as G0/G1 arrest and apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), are more potent than Rg3. The clinically relevant target of Rg3 metabolites are the endothelial cells. Anti-angiogenic effects are evaluated using loop formation assay. Among Rg3 metabolites, S-Rh2 is the most potent inhibitor of loop formation. VEGFR2 and AQP1 as the targets of Rh2 According to the prediction by in silico molecular docking, there is a good binding score between Rh2/PPD and the ATP-binding pocket of VEGFR2, a dominant regulator controlling both physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Through VEGF bioassay, it is discovered that S-Rh2 is a most potent anti-angiogenic candidate with allosteric modulatory action on VEGFR2 function. In addition, Rh2 and PPD have the potential of blocking AQP1 and AQP5, two members of the aquaporin family with vital roles in proliferation, migration, invasion and angiogenesis. Moreover, Rg3 is more selective for AQP1 and does not show a good binding score with AQP5. In light of this, blocking the water channel function of AQP1 may have an immediate role in inhibition of loop formation and anti-angiogenic effects of Rh2. Conclusion Metabolites of Rg3 could potentially increase the anti-cancer properties of Rg3. The application of these molecules alone or together may be potent alternatives for future adjuvant cancer therapy. Reference Nakhjavani M, Smith E, Yeo K, et al.

Introduction Wound healing is a sophisticated process responding to tissue damage, which is associated with numbers of interaction of various cell types, cytokines, growth factors, and other molecules. Strikingly, increasing the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) pool by nicotinamide riboside (NR) can accelerate wound healing and macrophage migration, which is partially achieved through PGE2 synthesis and signaling as well as the function of the NAD+-dependent sirtuin, SIRT3. Regulatory effects of NR on the expression of M1 macrophage markers in human MDMs. NR could modulate the expression levels of canonical M1 (inflammatory phenotype) and M2 (reparative phenotype) cell surface markers during macrophage polarization. With a great detail, a significant downregulation in CD64 and a obvious upregulation of CD197/CCR7 are viewed in the polarized M1 cells incubated with NR. Furthermore, NR increases CD197/CCR7-mediated M1 macrophage migration. The significance of chemotaxis mediator PGE2 in NR-regulated macrophage migration NR-mediated upregulation of macrophage migration through CCL19/CCR7 is dependent on the synthesis of PGE2, an inflammatory lipid mediator in the eicosanoid family. Concretely, NR administration increases the PGE2 level in cultured human monocytes, MDMs, and human serum. In addition, NR-mediated increases in CCR7 expression and CCL19-induced migration are attenuated by PGE2 synthesis blockers. NR/SIRT3/migration axis in human M1 MDMs NR facilitates collective cell migration at a SIRT3-dependent manner in human M1 MDMs during wound healing. Simply put, the degree of wound healing is compared on Day 0 and Day 2 in vehicle- or NR-treated human M1 MDMs. It is found that NR increases the relative degree of migration (relative wound healing) and the rate of wound confluence in the presence of CCL19. Besides, the relative degree of wound density (migration) is blunted by SIRT3 knockdown, while being enhanced by SIRT3 overexpression. Application prospect of NR in wound healing Chronic diabetes is often accompanied with poor wound healing. For instance, diabetic foot ulcers, one of the chief cause of amputations, affect 15% of people with diabetes. Given that NR can drive the macrophage migration to boost chronic wound healing, it may have a broad application prospect in treating the wounds including but not limited to diabetic patients. Conclusion In human macrophages, NR induces surface expression of the chemotaxis CD197/CCR7 receptor and levels of its lipid mediator PGE2 via upregulation of cyclooxygenase 2 and functionally increases macrophage migration and wound healing in a SIRT3-dependent manner.

1.Introduction The senescence in mammals is generally concomitant with the dysregulation of intestinal homeostasis and the accumulation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations. High-burden mtDNA mutations lead to NAD+ depletion and activate the transcription factor ATF5-dependent UPRmt, which in turn promotes and exacerbates the intestinal senescence phenotype. By supplementation with the NAD+ precursor NMN, this intestinal senescence phenotype can be rescued to some extent, as evidenced by the recovery of intestinal organoid differentiation and the increased number of intestinal stem cells. 2. NAD+ depletion during intestinal senescence caused by mtDNA mutations There is impairment of NADH/NAD+ redox in Mut/Mut*** intestines, as manifested by the enriched NADH dehydrogenase complex assembly pathway. Through transfection of intestinal crypt cells with SoNar (a NADH/NAD+ sensor), a higher NADH/NAD+ ratio is observed in Mut/Mut*** mice, hinting the perturbed redox potential. Likewise, following transfection of intestinal crypt cells with FiNad (a NAD+ sensor), less NAD+ content is discovered in the Mut/Mut*** cells. All of these findings mirror NAD+ depletion in the intestinal senescence triggered by mtDNA mutations. Note: mtDNA mutations are classified into four types: negligible (WT/WT), low (WT/WT*), moderate (WT/Mut**) and high (Mut/Mut***). 3. The link between mtDNA mutation content and physiological intestinal senescence The small intestine of aged mouse intestine is characterized by decreased intestinal crypt number, increased villus length, higher expression of CDKN1A/p21 (a well-known senescence marker) and shorter telomere length, which is accompanied by accumulation of mtDNA mutations, primarily low-frequency (less than 0.05) point mutations. 4. LONP1 protein as a candidate marker for intestinal senescence caused by accumulated mtDNA mutations Mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) is activated by a variety of mitochondrial stresses, including protein imbalances between mitochondria and the nucleus as well as impaired mitochondrial protein transport. The hallmarks of UPRmt are increased protein expression levels of LONP1, HSP60 and ClpP. Noteworthily, only LONP1 protein is specifically upregulated in senescent UPRmt activation triggered by accumulated mtDNA mutations, which may be a candidate biomarker for intestinal senescence. 5. The role of NAD+ in intestinal senescence induced by elevated mtDNA mutations. NAD+ repletion in vivo alleviates the small intestine senescent phenotypes caused by mtDNA mutation burden, and rescues the decreased colony formation efficiency in Mut/Mut*** intestinal organoids. NAD+-dependent UPRmt triggered by mtDNA mutations regulates intestinal senescence. These data further indicate that NAD+ depletion functions as a key mediator of the intestinal senescence induced by accumulated mtDNA mutations. 6. The role of NAD+ in the signal pathways regulating intestinal senescence caused by increased mtDNA mutations NAD+ repletion rescues the Foxl1 downregulation and Notch1 upregulation in Mut/Mut*** mice, suggesting that mtDNA mutation burden can regulate the function or number of niche cells through NAD+ depletion. In addition, NAD+ depletion caused by increased mtDNA mutation burden induces the decline of LGR5-positive intestinal cells via impairment of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. 7. Conclusion NAD+ repletion is significant for the regulation of intestinal homeostasis, playing a critical role in rescuing the intestinal senescence phenotype caused by accumulated mtDNA mutations.
