Bontac Bio-Engineering (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (hereafter referred to as BONTAC) is a high-tech enterprise established in July 2012. BONTAC integrates R&D, production and sales, with enzyme catalysis technology as the core and coenzyme and natural products as main products. There are six major series of products in BONTAC, involving coenzymes, natural products, sugar substitutes, cosmetics, dietary supplements and medical intermediates.
As the leader of the global NMN industry, BONTAC has the first whole-enzyme catalysis technology in China. Our coenzyme products are widely used in health industry, medical & beauty, green agriculture, biomedicine and other fields. BONTAC adheres to independent innovation, with more than 170 invention patents. Different from the traditional chemical synthesis and fermentation industry, BONTAC has advantages of green low-carbon and high-value-added biosynthesis technology. What’s more, BONTAC has established the first coenzyme engineering technology research center at the provincial level in China which also is the sole in Guangdong Province.
In the future, BONTAC will focus on its advantages of green, low-carbon and high-value-added biosynthesis technology, and build ecological relationship with academia as well as upstream/downstream partners, continuously leading the synthetic biological industry and creating a better life for human beings.
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.
According to recent industrial report, only several products from worldwide NMN manufacturers came close to meeting label claim and contain not enough NMN. Almost products performed better, having at least 88% of the label claim up to small overages. A lone 250 mg product was identified as BRL. In sum, ChromaDex said that 64% of the products tested contained less than 1% of the stated amount of the active ingredient. which should give consumers pause. While this is a limited snapshot of the vast NMN finished product landscape. it does provide a glimpse into the high variability of product quality that is available. The majority of the products may purchase online contain such a small amount of NMN that there would be no clinical benefits achieved from the dose. Another concern with these adulterated products is that the actual contents are not known and could pose a risk to the user the company said in a statement.

1.Raw material production process
Bioenzyme catalysis is a popular production method in the industry. It has a high threshold and several key catalytic enzymes are expensive, accounting for about 80% of the overall production process cost, but it is also the safest and most efficient production method. In the production of NMN by bioenzyme catalysis, the use of food-grade raw materials is an important part of the process to ensure product safety and to ensure that standards are followed.
2.High standard of production conditions
Production conditions refer to the standard of labor consumption required to complete the qualified products of the unit under certain production organization and production technology conditions. There are certifications issued by regulatory authorities, such as cGMP in the United States, TGA in Australia, GMP in Japan, etc.
3.High standard of product testing.
Product testing requires reliable test methods and reagents that are used throughout the production process. They are not only inspection standards for the final product, but also for the intermediate stages of control, including testing of active ingredients, testing of heavy metals such as lead, arsenic and mercury, and testing of pathogenic bacteria, microorganisms and processing by-products.
For NMN products, the commonly used method for active ingredient content testing is high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which is efficient, accurate and precise. For different manufacturers, the standards for testing reagents are different. Strict manufacturers will purchase high purity, analytically pure reagents from third party standards companies as controls.
4.Safety assessment
For relatively new raw materials such as NMN, it is not enough for consumers to judge the safety of the product on the side of the merchant alone. At this point, the third-party authoritative assessment report is particularly important.
Currently, there are two generic safety assessment reports, one is a toxicological assessment report and the other is a safety assessment report. In China, toxicological assessment reports usually account for the majority. However, there are still few NMN companies that can issue such reports
5.Storage and Packaging
NMNs are usually stored in sealed containers for up to 12 months. If it can be stored for 24 months with insignificant changes in purity, the stability of NMN is very reliable. Currently, the more common packaging materials are pet or hope, which are pharmaceutical packaging materials. They are non-toxic, odorless, lightweight, portable and effectively isolate air and moisture.
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 backed up 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 sold as functional food product rather 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 consumers. NMN should not be considered as 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 have been studied to discover the efficacy for 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. 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.
1. Introduction Acute lung injury comprises a uniform response of the lung to inflammatory or chemical insults which is commonly caused by systemic illness including sepsis or trauma, infection with pathogens, and toxic gas inhalation. Sepsis-induced acute lung injury is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, imposing substantial economic, social, and health burdens. Despite advances in knowledge of septic pulmonary pathologies over the years, efficient targeted therapies are still lacking. Notably, NMN administration has been uncovered to be effective in alleviating sepsis-induced acute lung injury, which can reduce cellular inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. 2. The impact of NMN upon macrophage polarization in LPS-induced MH-S cells In mouse alveolar macrophage cell line MH-S treated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), NMN can facilitate the transformation of macrophages from pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype towards the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype to promote inflammatory resolution and tissue repair, as evidenced by the downregulation of M1 phenotype-associated markers (iNOS and CD86+ F4/80+) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6) as well as the upregulation of M2 phenotype-related markers (Arg1 and CD86+ F4/80+) and anti-inflammatory mediators (IL-10) post NMN administration. 3. The alleviation of LPS-induced lung injury post NMN administration In vitro, NMN represses the apoptosis and production of pro-inflammatory factors in LPS-stimulated MH-S cells. In vivo, NMN explicitly ameliorates LPS-induced pathological alterations, encompassing thickened alveolar wall, inflammatory cell infiltration, septa swelling, and erythrocyte exudation, in a murine septic model. 4. The association of SIRT1/NF-κB signaling activation with NMN-mediated macrophage polarization SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway is involved in the lung protection of NMN, as manifested by the elevated expression of SIRT1 as well as the reduced acetylation and phosphorylation of NF-κB-p65 post NMN treatment. Repression of SIRT1/NF-κB signaling offsets NMN-mediated M2 macrophage polarization. SIRT1 inhibitor EX-527 decreases the expression of SIRT1, yet increases the expression of acetylated and phosphorylated NF-κB-p65 in septic mice pretreated with NMN. In contrast to NMN, EX-527 overtly promotes the expression levels of M1 macrophage-associated markers (iNOS and CD86) while inhibiting those of M2 phenotype-related markers (Arg1 and CD206). 5. Conclusion NMN can effectively ameliorate LPS-induced acute lung injury through modulating macrophage polarization via SIRT1/NF-κB signalling pathway, providing a novel therapeutic direction for sepsis-induced acute lung injury. 6.

Introduction In light of a statistics report by World Health Organization (WHO), there are 18 million people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) worldwide in 2019, where the prevalence of female is 2.5 times that of male. This disorder greatly affects the life quality of patients and even causes disability in severe case. Noteworthily, mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosome (MSCs-exo) in combination with ginsenoside Rh2 has been unveiled to be effective in alleviating RA symptoms, holding a great promise as an adjuvant drug for RA. About RA RA represents a chronic autoimmune disease generally occurring in middle age, which is chiefly featured by vascular proliferation, synovium inflammation and the stiffness/swelling/deformation/pain of one or more joints. At present, the treatment of RA relies on corticosteroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, and biological agents. Yet, long-term use of these drugs may be accompanied with various adverse effects such as infection, liver damage, gastrointestinal damage, and heart failure. MSCs vs. MSCs-exo MSCs, with multiple differentiation potential, can reduce joint inflammation in RA. Nevertheless, there are potential risks such as immunogenicity, heterogeneity of different batches of cells, tumorigenicity, and ethical issues, limiting the application of MSCs. MSCs-exo is small extracellular vesicle secreted by MSCs, whose diameter ranges from 30 to 150 nanometers. It can carry biologically active substances such as nucleic acids and small molecules, fulfilling the function of MSCs. Relative to MSCs, MSCs-exo has low immunogenicity and has no risk of tumor formation and ethical constraints. Research protocol A collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model is constructed in rats, followed by the treatment of phosphate-buffered saline or single/combined therapy of MSCs-exo and ginsenoside Rh2. The rat fences are collected for 16 rRNA amplification sequencing and untargeted metabolomics analysis. Significant efficacy of MSCs-exo combined with ginsenoside Rh2 in RA The combined therapy of MSCs-exo and ginsenoside Rh2, to a large extent, ameliorates RA symptoms in CIA model rats, as manifested by the reduction of joint swelling as well as significant decline in arthritis score and paw thickness. Meanwhile, the histopathological changes in CIA model rats are apparently improved. Rh2 enhances the ability of MSC-exo to suppress the expression of inflammatory factors in synovium and cartilage of CIA model rats, as evidenced by the downregulation of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 as well as upregulation of IL-10 in exo+Rh2 group. Besides, bone erosion in the ankle joints of CIA rats is improved, as attested by the obvious increases in BMD and Tb.Th, as well as prominent decreases in BS/BV and Tb.Sp in exo+Rh2 group. Essential role of gut-joint axis in RA Gut microbiota and metabolites have been deemed to be critical in developing RA. Strikingly, MSCs-exo and Rh2 can significantly ameliorate the disturbed gut microbiota in CIA model rats. The regulation of Candidatus_Saccharibacteria and Clostridium_XlVb may be the most pivotal. Concretely, Candidatus_Saccharibacteria modulates the metabolic pathway of vitamin digestion and absorption by pantothenic acid and vitamin D3 alterations. As for Clostridium_XlVb, it regulates 16(R)-HETE alterations in the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway. Conclusion MSCs-exo and Rh2 act synergistically to ameliorate RA by modulating the gut microbiota and metabolites, especially the reshaping of Candidatus_Saccharibacteria and Clostridium_XlVb abundance.
