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.
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.
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 Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive fatal neurodegenerative disease that affects the motion-related nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The disease is featured by the death of upper and lower motor neurons (MNs) and manifested by progressive muscle atrophy and weakness, culminating in immobility to paralysis, with the body gradually frozen as if by ice. Patients with this disorder generally have a low survival rate and life quality. At present, there is no effective way to cure this disease, but early invention has a positive significance in improving the symptoms of patients and delaying the progression of disease. Remarkably, dietary NMN supplementation has been uncovered to be beneficial against ALS, which can enhance the motor and function of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) in ALS, bringing a glimpse of hope for ALS patients. 2. The improved healthspan and reduced motor dysfunction in ALS mice post dietary NMN supplementation The median lifespan of ALS mice administrated with or without NMN is 143 days and 138 days, respectively, hinting that NMN supplementation in diet has a modest effect on lifespan extension. Relative to those without dietary NMN supplementation, NMN-treated ALS mice shows a slower motor impairment in both rotarod and hanging wire tests, with a two-week delay in dysfunction, despite no difference in body weight loss during testing period. When compared with those in the absence of dietary NMN supplementation, ALS mice administrated with NMN are more active, with increased travel distance, elevated mean speed and reduced immobile time. In addition, NMN diet prevents ALS-induced gait impairments, as manifested by the improved forelimb and hindlimb stride length in NMN-treated ALS mice. 3. The alleviating effect of NMN on the function of NMJs in ALS NMJs are one of the earliest affected site in ALS, which are benefited greatly from NMN diet. In addition to improving the length and breadth of the motor endplate, dietary NMN supplementation also ameliorates the impairment of NMJ function and reduce the semitendinosus muscle mass in ALS mice. Furthermore, NMN conspicuously elevates the innervation ratio of NMJs in ALS mice. Dietary NMN supplementation strengthens synaptic function at NMJ in ALS, while diminishing NMJ and intermyofibrillar (IMF) mitochondrial abnormalities. With a great detail, NMN prominently increases Feret's diameter of mitochondria and restores mitochondria circularity in ALS mice. 4. Conclusion Dietary NMN supplementation can modestly extend lifespan and significantly enhance healthspan by improving motor performance and NMJ function in ALS mice, opening up new opportunities for the future treatment of ALS.

1.Introduction Mitochondria, a type of highly plastic organelle, can maintain a relatively stable dynamic equilibrium state towards the morphology, structure, quantity, volume, quality, and function under normal physiological conditions. This dynamic equilibrium state is generally called mitochondria homeostasis. Replenishment of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) to boost intracellular NAD+ level can regulate mitochondrial homeostasis. 2.The amelioration of mitochondrial dysfunction and senescence post NMN treatment Typically, NAD+ level determines the rate and extent of senescence. The NAD+ pool experienced by cells and tissues presents a declined tendency with age, which may lead to a loss of mitochondrial homeostasis and senescent phenotypes in CD8+ T cells. Following NMN (100 μM) supplementation, NAD+ level is restored and the NAD+/NADH ratio is elevated in senescent CD8+ T cells, by which the mitochondrial functions are obviously improved and the cytoplasmic mtDNA is reduced. 3.The prevention of neuroinflammation and senescence in CD8+ T cells via NMN supplement Post NMN supplementation, the senescence and neuroinflammation are correspondingly repressed. With a great detail, NMN supplementation decreases the ROS and mitochondrial membrane potential in CD8+ T cells, while increasing the intracellular ATP. Furthermore, NMN suppresses the inflammation-associated markers (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and IFN-γ) in the supernatant and the mRNA of senescent CD8+ T cells. 4. The inhibitory effect of NMN on the senescence-related pathway STING The activation of STING can launch a robust proinflammatory response and senescence, which is closely related to the deficient health span in model mice. Strikingly, NMN can prominently improve the senescent state of T cells and reduce the secretion of senescence-related inflammatory factors via inhibition of the STING pathway. 5. Conclusion Upregulation of NAD+ level by NMN supplementation can regulate the mitochondrial homeostasis to prevent STING-induced senescence in CD8+ T cells. Reference Ye B, Pei Y, Wang L, et al.

1. Introduction Ginseng has always been highly perceived as a valuable traditional Chinese medicine in China. Currently, much attention also has been paid to ginsenosides, the main active ingredients extracted from ginseng. Strikingly, ginsenoside Rh2, one of the most representative bioactive ginsenosides in Panax ginseng, has immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor activities, showing a therapeutic role in numerous diseases. 2. The therapeutic effect of ginsenoside Rh2 * Enhance the immune function of the human body Ginsenoside Rh2 has the effect of enhancing the immune function of the patient's body. Notewothily, it can effectively reduce the toxicity left by chemotherapy in the human body by improving immunity. *Ameliorate neuropathic pain Intrathecal administration of ginsenoside Rh2 significantly attenuates SNI-induced mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia. The antinociceptive effect of Rh2 continued until 10 days after SNI surgeryn, showing a potential application value in pain therapy. Figure 1 Intrathecal injection of Rh2 inhibits neuropathic pain in mice * Suppress the inflammation Previous studies have revealed that ginsenoside Rh2 can inhibit spared nerve injury (SNI)-induced increase of proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1 and interleukin-6), and significantly inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced activation of BV2 cells. Figure 2 Intrathecal injection of Rh2 reduced expression of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α in SNI mice * Promote the synthesis of albumin Ginsenoside Rh2 acts as an immune regulator to promote the synthesis of albumin, which can provide heat for the human body, protect and stabilize the immunoglobulin in the blood. * Inhibit the growth of tumor cells Ginsenoside Rh2 exhibits a chemical structure similar to that of dexamethasone. In in vitro studies, it can suppress the growth and viability of various cancer cells, induce tumor cell cycle arrest and cellular apoptosis, trigger necrosis and autophagy in cancer cells, inhibit metastasis, and suppress angiogenesis. * Reversal of abnormal tumor differentiation Ginsenoside Rh2 has a differentiation-inducing effect on tumor cancer cells, and can effectively enhance the melanin production ability in cancer cells, thereby causing cancer cells to transform into normal cells in morphology. Table 1 Anticancer effects and mechanisms of ginsenoside‑Rh2 in in vivo studies 3. The difference between ginsenoside Rg3 and ginsenoside Rh2 Figure 3 Molecular struction of ginsenoside Rg3 and ginsenoside Rh2 Both ginsenoside Rg3 and ginsenoside Rh2 have been attested to achieve antitumor effects by strengthening the immune function of the body. Despite their similar mechanisms of action, differences still exist between ginsenoside Rg3 and ginsenoside Rh2. In terms of the molecular structure, ginsenoside Rh2 has only one glycosyl group, whereas ginsenoside Rg3 has two. In addition, ginsenoside Rh2 has a higher bioavailability than ginsenoside Rg3. Ginsenoside Rg3 is easy to be excreted from the body after being taken, and won't make much difference to the body. With regard to the intestinal absorption, ginsenotone Rh2 is about 5 times of ginsenotone Rg3. 4. Conclusion The monosaccharide ginsenoside Rh2 can effectively improve human immunity, enhance disease resistance, and reduce the risk of cancer. Relative to ginsenoside Rg3, ginsenoside Rh2 shows higher cost-efficiency in the intestinal absorption, application scope and efficacy, providing an upgraded health support.
