NAD powder efficacy in health
Molecules that can be taken in supplement form to increase NAD levels in the body are referred to by some as “NAD boosters.” Studies conducted over the past six decades suggest that the following are some of the many benefits associated with taking an NAD supplement:
Can Help Restore Mitochondrial Function
Helps Repair Blood Vessels —A 2018 mice study found that supplementation could aid in repair and growth of aged blood vessels. There’s also some evidence it can help manage heart disease risk factors like high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
May Improve Muscle Function — One animal study conducted in 2016 found that degenerative muscles had improved muscle function when supplemented with NAD+ precursors.
Potentially Helps Repair Cells and Damaged DNA — Some studies have found evidence that NAD+ precursor supplementation leads to an increase in DNA damage repair. NAD+ is broken down into two component parts, nicotinamide and ADP-ribose, which combine with proteins to repair cells.
May Help Improve Cognitive Function — Several studies conducted on mice have found that mice treated with NAD+ precursors experienced improvements in cognitive function, learning and memory. Findings have led researchers to believe that NAD supplement may help protect against cognitive decline/Alzheimer’s disease.
May Help Prevent Age-Related Weight Gain — A 2012 study showed that when mice fed a high-fat diet were given an NAD supplement, they gained 60 percent less weight than they did on the same diets without the supplement. One reason this may be true is that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide helps regulate production of stress- and appetite-related hormones, thanks to its effects on circadian rhythms.
Precursors are molecules used in chemical reactions inside the body to create other compounds. There are a number of precursors of NAD+ that result in higher levels when you consume enough of them.

Frequently Asked Question
Do you have any question?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) has several essential roles in metabolism. It acts as a coenzyme in redox reactions, as a donor of ADP-ribose moieties in ADP-ribosylation reactions, as a precursor of the second messenger molecule cyclic ADP-ribose, as well as acting as a substrate for bacterial DNA ligases and a group of enzymes called sirtuins that use NAD+ to remove acetyl groups from proteins. In addition to these metabolic functions, NAD+ emerges as an adenine nucleotide that can be released from cells spontaneously and by regulated mechanisms, and can therefore have important extracellular roles.
First, inspect the factory. After some screening, NAD 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 NAD powder of high quality with the caterias of SGS. Secondly, the purity is tested. Purity is one of the most important parameters of NAD powder. If high purity NAD cannot be guaranteed, the remaining substances are likely to exceed the relevant standards. As the attached certificates demonstrates that the NAD powder produced by Bontac reach the purity of 99.9%. 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 difference all comes down to the charge of these coenzymes. NAD+ is written with a superscript + sign because of the positive charge on one of its nitrogen atoms. It is the oxidized form of NAD. It’s considered “an oxidizing agent” because it accepts electrons from other molecules.
Although they are different chemically, these terms are mostly used interchangeably when discussing their health benefits. Another term you may come across is NADH, which stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) + hydrogen (H). This is also used interchangeably with NAD+ for the most part. Both are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides that function as either hydride donors or hydride acceptors. The difference between these two is that that NADH becomes NAD+ after it donates an electron to another molecule.

Application Value of Ginsenoside Rg3 in Targeting BCSCs to Treat Breast Cancer
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.

Delving into the Function of Ginsenoside Rh2 in the Develpoment of Breast Cancer
1. Introduction According to the 2020 report of World Health Organization (WHO), there are approximately 2.3 million cases with breast cancer worldwide. Breast cancer has emerged as one of the most malignant tumor in females with significant incidence rate. Although great progress has made in improving the cure rate of early-stage breast cancer in recent years, advanced breast cancer is still hard to be cured. How to reduce the risk of recurrence and metastasis of early-stage breast cancer as well as prolong the survival of patients with advanced breast cancer is still a challenge in the clinical treatment of breast cancer. Notably, ginsenoside Rh2 (GRh2) exerts prominent impacts on retarding the progression of breast cancer via strengthening the immune surveillance of natural killer (NK) cells, a kind of cytotoxic innate lymphocytes critical for tumor immune response. 2. The repressive role of GRh2 in the progression of breast cancer GRh2 hinders the growth, proliferation and metastasis of breast cancer. Simply put, the body weight and tumor volume of model mice are markedly reduced post treatment of GRh2 (10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg). In addition, the proliferating rate of breast cancer cells is repressed by GRh2 in a dose-dependent manner (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg). Upon the treatment of GRh2 (20 mg/kg), the loss of lung capacity is obviously reduced and the lung metastases formed by MDA-MB-231 tumor cells are strikingly mitigated as well, with no apparent liver metastatic nodules. 3. The enhanced killing effect of NK cells on breast cancer cells following GRh2 treatment GRh2 exerts remarkable effects on retarding the progression of breast cancer via improving the killing ability of NK92MI cells. In a nutshell, the mRNA expression levels of killing mediators perforin and IFN-γ in NK92MI cell-breast cancer cell co-culture system are explicitly upregulated post GRh2 treatment. Strikingly, the reduced lung metastasis of breast cancer by GRh2 is almost counteracted upon the depletion of NK cells. Relative to that of the vehicle control, the amount of CD107a, a degranulation marker of NK cells, is overtly elevated in the presence of GRh2 (20 mg/kg), verifying the enhanced killing activity of NK cells on breast cancer. 4. The underlying molecular mechanism of GRh2 on potentiating the NK cell activity against breast cancer Breast cancer cells reduce the recognition by NKG2D through proteolytic shedding MICA mediated by ERp5 to escape NK cell surveillance. GRh2 interferes with the formation of soluble MICA (sMICA) by suppressing the expression of ERp5 to increase the contents of killing mediators from NK cells, thereby exerting striking effects on fighting against breast cancer. 5. Conclusion GRh2 potentiates the cytotoxic effect of NK cells and enhances the immune surveillance function of NK cells to fight against breast cancer, which may be a potent drug candidate for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer.

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.
