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.
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.
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.
From July 8th to July 9th, 2021, "Healthy China 2021 Nutrition and Healthy Food Conference" (HFIC) was grandly held in Hangzhou International Expo Center! Bangtai Biological Engineering (Shenzhen) Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as: Bangtai Biological) with NMN, NADH and other anti-aging products were exhibited at the conference. At the same time, the "Beautiful Food Science and Technology Forum and NMN Anti-decay Seminar" was vigorously carried out. Dr. Fu Rongzhao, the founder and chief scientist of Bangtai Biology, shared the future industrial development trends at the seminar, leading the new trend of thought of anti-decline industry development!
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.

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.
