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.
NAD powder manufacturing method
The preparation methods utilized by manufacturers worldwide of NAD powder are mainly divided into chemical synthesis method and biocatalytic method, among which biocatalytic method includes biological fermentation method and enzyme catalysis method. Enzyme catalysis method has gradually become the mainstream direction because of its advantages of green, environmental protection and pollution-free. And then the purity of NAD powder will reach 99% after the procedure of further purifying. But some NAD manufacturers tend to choose the multiple methods to develop the producing of NAD.

Frequently Asked Question
Do you have any question?
1.Prevention and treatment of viral-induced inflammatory storms
Scientists have found after extensive research that neo-coronavirus has a mechanism similar to SARS virus to activate inflammatory vesicles NLRP3. and the activation of NLRP3 produces more inflammatory factors, generating excessive inflammation and thus triggering a deadly cytokine storm. This problem can be well addressed by NAD+, which inhibits the activity of NF-κB inflammatory pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome by increasing the activity of sirtuins (SIRT1, SIRT2 and SIRT3), thus preventing cytokine storm caused by excessive inflammation. Therefore, Sinclair and other scientists believe that increasing the concentration of NAD+ may play an important role in the prevention and treatment of neocoronavirus and other viral infections.
2.Restoration of virus-induced metabolic disorders
NAD+ is an essential coenzyme for many cellular energy metabolic pathways, present in every cell of the body, involved in thousands of reactions, and an important player in maintaining cellular viability. In the COVID-19 infection model, NAD+ and NMN supplementation was found to be effective in alleviating cell death and protecting the lung.
First, inspect the factory. After some screening, NAD manufactures 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.
In the international market, NAD+ food supplements are in production in the United States, the Australian Food and Drug Administration has approved NAD+ products for sale, and Japanese NAD+ manufactures are devoted to extend the market share in China. Li Ka-shing invested HK$200 million in the US NAD manufacturer, whose NAD+ products are being sold by Watsons in Hong Kong! Then Mclane, a company owned by Warren Buffett also joined the NAD market.

Targeting NAD+ Salvage Pathway as a Potential Approach to Combat Obesity
Introduction Mar 4th is determined as the World Obesity Day. World Obesity Federation, UNICEF and WHO have hosted a global youth-led webinar to talk about obesity & youth. The obesity crisis has gradually attracted much attention. The latest report by the Lancet suggests that one billion people are bothered by obesity (2022), with 650 million adults, 340 million adolescents and 39 million children. Recently, etiological studies and interventions for obesity have been progressively focused on the central nervous system, with an attempt to curb the onset of obesity at its source. Notably, targeting NAD+ salvage pathway in hypothalamic astrocytes may be a potential approach to combat obesity. The association of hypothalamic astrocytes and obesity The hypothalamus functions as the appetite regulation center, which receives and integrates the neuroendocrine factors produced by the central nervous system and peripheral tissues to promote or suppress appetite, so as to affect body weight. Noteworthily, aypothalamic astrocytes can apparently decrease glucose clearance and increase plasma insulin levels, playing an essential role in modulating energy metabolism, which are expected to be a new target for obesity treatment. Alleviation of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity by repressing astrocyte NAD+ salvage pathway Under conditions of excessive fat intake, the NAD+ salvage pathway is specifically activated in hypothalamic astrocytes, which restrains the energy expenditure (EE) and fat oxidation in adipose tissues by downregulating sympathetic nerve innervation, eventually resulting in the accumulation of adipose tissue fat and the development of obesity. CD38 as a downstream mediator of astrocyte inflammation induced by the NAD+ salvage pathway. CD38 functions downstream of the NAD+ salvage pathway in hypothalamic astrocytes burdened with excess fat. CD38 knockdown in arcuate nucleus astrocytes diminishes the weight gain, reduces fat mass, increases EE, and lowers RER during HFD consumption. Cd38 depletion in hypothalamic astrocytes may improve hypothalamic inflammation by increasing NAD+ level. Hypothalamic inflammation can not only lead to energy imbalances, but also exacerbate central insulin resistance and leptin resistance, which can lead to the accumulation of fat in peripheral tissues. The role of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT)–NAD+–CD38 axis in obesity In mammals, the salvage pathway represents the primary means of maintaining cellular NAD+ level. A crucial step in the NAD+ salvage pathway is catalyzed by NAMPT. In response to fat overload, the activation of the astrocytic NAMPT-NAD+-CD38 axis induces pro-inflammatory responses in the hypothalamus, eliciting aberrantly activated basal Ca2+ signals and compromised Ca2+ responses to metabolic hormones such as insulin, leptin, and glucagon-like peptide 1, ultimately resulting in dysfunctional hypothalamic astrocytes and contribute to the development of obesity. Conclusion Mechanically, inhibition of hypothalamic astrocytic NAD+ salvage pathway, along with its downstream CD38, mitigates hypothalamic inflammation and attenuates the development of HFD-induced obesity in male mice.

SLC25A51 Functions as an NAD+/NADH Redox Decoupler in AML
Introduction Solute carrier family 25 member 51 (SLC25A51) is perceived as a mammalian transporter, which is capable of importing oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) into mitochondrial matrix. Remarkably, upregulation of SLC25A51 has correlation with poorer outcomes in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a clinically aggressive haematological disease with a mortality rate of over 70% within the first 5 years following an initial diagnosis. The association between NAD+/NADH ratio and SLC25A51 in AML cells Both NAD+ (oxidative form) and NADH (reduced form) are essential coenzymes for cellular energy metabolism, and the ratio of NAD+/NADH reflects the metabolic activity and health state, which has a direct impact on cellular rhythms, senescence, carcinogenesis and death. Importing mitochondrial NAD+ by SLC25A51 could be a critical aspect supporting mitochondrial metabolism in AML tumorigenesis. Concretely, the decreased mitochondrial NAD+/NADH ratio and specific loss of reduced ubiquinol are observed post the depletion of SLC25A51 in AML cells U937. SLC25A51 as an NAD+/NADH redox decoupler in AML SLC25A51 functions as an NAD+/NADH redox decoupler in AML tumorigenesis to sustain an oxidative TCA cycle and promote glutaminolysis. Depletion of SLC25A51 results in increased usage of non-glutamine carbon sources to support the TCA cycle, as determined by increased proportions of unlabeled TCA intermediates. SLC25A51 is required for robust glutaminolysis. In the context of SLC25A51 depletion, AML cells are forced to rely more on glutamine for aspartate synthesis. Alleviation of AML by SLC25A51 depletion and 5-azacytidine Loss of SLC25A51 leads to a subcellular redistribution of NAD+ in AML cells to limit proliferation. The combination of SLC25A51 depletion and 5-azacytidine is much effective in repressing the viability of AML cells and prolonging the survival time of mice. Conclusion SLC25A51 can maintain mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and boost the proliferation of AML cells by regulating NAD+/NADH ratio in mitochondria, with promising efficacy in treating AML, especially in combination with 5-azacytidine.

Beneficial Effect of NMN on the Maintenance of Neuritic Arbor in Motor Neurons
Introduction Replenishing nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) to raise the availability of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) has been deemed as effective approach to prevent neurodegeneration in aging and pathological conditions including ALS, a fatal progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no known way to cure. The association of SOD1 and TDP-43 with ALS Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is the first identified protein associated with familial ALS. In most ALS cases, Transactive Response DNA Binding Protein 43 (TDP-43) pathology is frequently observed. Both SOD1 and TDP-43 have tight association with motor neuron degeneration in patients with ALS. Mutant SOD1 could affect the solubility/insolubility of TDP-43 through physical interactions. Mutant SOD1G93A and the fragment form of TDP-43 can exert synergistic effect to mediate toxic events in apoptosis. The protective effect of NMN on motor neurons NMN can increase the neurite length and complexity in mouse motor neurons and iPSC-derived human motor neurons overexpressing wild-type TDP-43/mutant hSOD1G93A. Meanwhile, it prevents the neuronal death and increased nitro-tyrosine immunoreactivity induced by trophic factor deprivation. In motor neurons overexpressing mutant hSOD1G93A, the neuroprotection conferred by NMN supplementation is mediated by a mechanism that involves an increase in glutathione content. However, this neuroprotective effect does not involve the alteration of glutathione content in non-transgenic or TDP-43 overexpressing motor neurons. The involvement of TDP-43 pathology in ALS NMN supplementation can confer axonal protection in motor neurons isolated from two dissimilar models of ALS, with and without involvement of TDP-43 pathology. Besides, NMN treatment correct the morphological changes induced by TDP-43 overexpression in motor neurons and boost the nuclear localization of TDP-43 and phosphorylated TDP-43, which favors its nuclear localization and averts the detrimental effects of TDP-43 overexpression on neurite length and complexity. Conclusion Supplementation of NAD+ precursor NMN can modulate neurite complexity and survival in motor neurons, showing great therapeutic potential in the context of ALS pathology.
