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.
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.

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.
Introduction Alpers' disease is both a neurodegenerative disorder and a metabolic disorder, which is tightly linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and mutations in the catalytic subunit of polymerase gamma (POLG) gene. Noteworthily, supplementation of NAD precursor, nicotinamide riboside (NR), is evidenced to explicitly ameliorate mitochondrial defects in cortical organoids of patients with Alpers' disease. About Alpers’ disease Alpers’ disease is an autosomal recessive disorder, which is often accompanied with cortical neuronal loss as well as depletion of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and complex I (CI). The disease occurs in about 1 in 100,000 newborns. Most individuals with Alpers’ disease show no symptoms at birth. Diagnosis is generally established by determining the POLG gene. Once onset (usually between first and third years of life), patients may present the symptoms such as progressive encephalopathy, epilepsy, myoclonus, and myasthenia gravis. Currently, there is no effective method to cure this disease. Establishment of Alpers' disease model in vitro Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are generated from Alpers' patient carrying the compound heterozygous mutations of A467T (c.1399G>A) and P589L (c.1766C>T), followed by differentiation into cortical organoids and neural stem cells (NSCs). Alpers's iPSCs exhibit mild mitochondrial alterations, including an elevated L-lactate level and a depletion of CI. Alpers' NSCs manifest profound mtDNA depletion and mitochondrial dysfunction. Alpers' cortical organoids demonstrate cortical neuronal loss and astrocyte accumulation. The role of NR in Alpers' cortical organoids Long-term treatment with NR partially ameliorates the neurodegenerative alterations observed in Alpers' cortical organoids. Specifically, supplementation of NR effectively counteracts neuronal loss, glial enrichment, and mitochondrial damage observed in cortical organoids of patients with Alpers' disease. Reversal of the dysregulated pathways in Alpers' patient organoids post NR treatment NR treatment offsets the downregulation of mitochondrial and synaptogenesis-related pathways, as well as upregulation of pathways associated with astrocyte/glial cells and neuroinflammation are obviously activated in Alpers' cortical organoids. Conclusion Replenishment of NR to increase NAD level can rescue mitochondrial defects and neuronal loss in iPSC-derived cortical organoid of Alpers’ disease, with relatively high safety and bioavailability, showing great promise as a therapeutic candidate for this intractable disorder.

Introduction The crucial parts of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and its metabolites in aging and neurodegeneration have been widely recognized. To spur progress toward biochemical research and interventions targeting aging and neurodegenerative diseases, it is of great significance to accurately quantify NAD+ and its metabolite levels in the NAD+ salvage pathway. Here, a robust and accurate LC-MS/MS method is applied to quantify NAD+ and its metabolites levels in normal and injured mouse sciatic nerve. Limitations of existing methods for quantifying NAD+ and its metabolites Traditional methods for quantifying NAD+ and its metabolites, such as HPLC-UV, NMR, capillary zone electrophoresis, or colorimetric enzymatic assays, face various challenges in sensitivity, selectivity, and indirect measurement. As for existing LC-MS/MS assays for cellular or tissue NAD+ and its metabolites measurements, there are still many difficulties to overcome, such as extended run times, poor chromatographic retention behavior, and unsatisfactory peak shapes. Moreover, only one to three substances in the NAD+ salvage pathway can be covered by these methods. The modifications of LC-MS/MS method On the basis of existing LC-MS/MS assays, the modifications regarding the chromatographic conditions, surrogate matrix and MS/MS conditions are conducted. Specifically, 5 μM of methylene phosphonic acid is employed as the mobile phase additive, which explicitly promotes the signal intensity and peak shape. Given the relatively clean and simple nature of never samples and their small size, ultrapure water is tested as a substitute matrix. Instead of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography column and hypercarb column, the Waters Atlantis Premier BEH C18 AX column is utilized, whose unique MaxPeak HPS high-performance surface technology (passivating the column inner wall, eliminating metal surface) enables the high reproducibility, peak symmetry, and baseline separation of all analytes. Besides, MS conditions are optimized to minimize the NAD+ interference signal in the cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) channel while maintaining the response of cADPR and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), with 4000V for ion spray voltage, 450℃ for turbo heater temperature, 50 psi for Gas 1, 50 psi for Gas 2, 30 psi for curtain gas, and 12 psi for collision gas. Representative chromatogram of nerve samples (normal vs injured) All five analytes achieve baseline separation, where cADPR is a sensitive biomarker in the neurodegeneration model. Herein, sciatic nerve axotomy induces axonal degeneration, leading to reduced NAD+ level and elevated NMN level in the injured nerves, resulting in about a 2-fold increase in the NMN/NAD+ ratio. Simultaneously, the levels of nicotinamide (NAM) and adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPR), are decreased by about 2-fold, while cADPR level is increased by more than 8-fold. These results are consistent with those of previously reported research, verifying the accuracy of this modified LS-MS/MS method in quantifying NAD+ and its metabolites. Conclusion This modified LC-MS/MS method enables effective baseline separation of NAD+, NMN, NAM, ADPR, and cADPR within a brief runtime of 5 min, which is contributive to early diagnoses of various neurological disorders and drug development for aging and neurodegenerative diseases.
