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.
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.

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.
1. Introduction The gut microbiota has long been regarded as one of the key elements contributing to the regulation of host health. Any changes in the composition or quality of the gut microbiota may have physiological consequences for the host. To determine the effect of sweetener stevia (also known as stevioside) on the gut microbiome of healthy population, the stool samples are collected from healthy participants who consume with or without five drops of the sweetener stevia twice daily. Following analyses of 16S rRNA sequencing method, no large-scale change is found in the gut microbiota post 12 weeks of consumption with stevia, hinting the safety of stevia. 2. Insignificant changes in the alpha or beta diversity following consumption of stevia It is discovered that there is no significant difference in alpha diversity (in terms of observed taxa, evenness and Shannon Index) and beta diversity (with regard to PCoA, PERMANOVA, and Jaccard Index) between groups. Nevertheless, PCoA plots shows strong separation along the x-axis. In addition, the community composition in each group is relatively even over time and equally diverse. 3. No clear difference in relative abundances of taxa At the genus level, relative abundances are similar between the control and stevia groups. No major difference is observed in relative abundances at the class, order and family level. Strikingly, butyricoccus is the only one identified taxon exhibiting significant difference at baseline, but not after 12 weeks of stevia consumption. Moreover, Collinsella and Aldercreutzia are two coprococcus species identified as explicitly different at baseline (one higher and one lower when comparing stevia vs. control), which however are significantly elevated after 12 weeks of consumption with stevia. 4. The safe intake volume of sweetener steviol glycosides In the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), there is a Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF), which is responsible for evaluating the safety of food additives and establishing acceptable daily intake levels for safe use. Steviol glycosides, one of the extract from stevia, is evaluated by the FAF as well. In accordance to the latest toxicological test, this sweeter is not genotoxic and carcinogenic, without any adverse effects on the human reproductive system or growing children. The expert group has set the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of steviol glycosides at 4 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day, which is consistent with the level determined by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) administered by the US Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). 5. Conclusion Regular, long-term consumption of stevia does not overtly alter the composition of the human gut microbiotia. Stevia can be safe as long as the intake volume is controlled appropriately.

1 Introduction Nicotinamide riboside (NR), a derivative of vitamin B3, is a new type of bioactive substance, which can be generated by binding a carbohydrate molecular ribose with nicotinamide (also known as niacin or vitamin B3). Nicotinamide riboside chloride (NRC/NR-CL) is a chloride salt form of NR. In daily life, NR-CL can be taken from NR supplements and food such as meat, fish and cereals. A recent study has revealed that NR-CL protects the hippocampus and ultimately promotes the recovery of cognitive function after brain ischemia. 2. The ameliorating impact of NRC upon ischemia-induced cognitive deficits Ischemia-induced cognitive deficits are ameliorated post NRC treatment. Specifically, NRC treatment improves the learning ability of mice, as evidenced by the shorter latency and the decreased path length. The hippocampal protection provided by NRC contributes to the recovery of spatial learning and memory after the ischemic insult. Figure 1 Acute NRC treatment potentiates cognitive recovery after ischemia 3. Reduction of the infarct volume in the hippocampus post acute NRC treatment After ischemia, there are deformed cell bodies, condensed nuclear chromatin, increased intracellular cell gaps, loosened cell arrangements and blurred visible staining in the damaged pyramidal neurons. NRC treatment partially offsets these morphological changes. Figure 2 Acute NRC treatment reduces the hippocampal infarct volume. 4. Recovery of neuronal damage in the hippocampus post acute NRC treatment After ischemia, brain damage emerges due to energy crisis-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, followed by the cell loss and neuronal apoptosis. NRC treatment leads to an increase in the number of positive cells, signifying the recovery of local neuronal loss. Figure 3 Acute NRC treatment attenuates neuronal loss in the hippocampus. 5. Upregulation of NAD and ATP levels in the hippocampus post acute NRC treatment By repleshing the production of NAD, acute treatment with NRC, to some extent, can salvage the energy supply in the hippocampus, which conspicuously enhances the recovery of ATP level. 6. Conclusion Collectively, acute NRC treatment increases the energy supply and reduces the neuronal loss to protect the hippocampus, thereby facilitating the recovery of cognitive function. NR-CL (ie. NRC) is a very promising component of health care products and has a wide range of application prospects. Before use, one should follow the guidance of professionals. At the same time, attention should be paid to reasonable intake and safe use to avoid the adverse effects of excessive use.
