NAD powder efficacy in health
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.
NAD powder manufacturing method
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.

Frequently Asked Question
Do you have any question?
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.

NR as a Driver of Macrophage Migration to Boost Chronic Wound Healing
Introduction Wound healing is a sophisticated process responding to tissue damage, which is associated with numbers of interaction of various cell types, cytokines, growth factors, and other molecules. Strikingly, increasing the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) pool by nicotinamide riboside (NR) can accelerate wound healing and macrophage migration, which is partially achieved through PGE2 synthesis and signaling as well as the function of the NAD+-dependent sirtuin, SIRT3. Regulatory effects of NR on the expression of M1 macrophage markers in human MDMs. NR could modulate the expression levels of canonical M1 (inflammatory phenotype) and M2 (reparative phenotype) cell surface markers during macrophage polarization. With a great detail, a significant downregulation in CD64 and a obvious upregulation of CD197/CCR7 are viewed in the polarized M1 cells incubated with NR. Furthermore, NR increases CD197/CCR7-mediated M1 macrophage migration. The significance of chemotaxis mediator PGE2 in NR-regulated macrophage migration NR-mediated upregulation of macrophage migration through CCL19/CCR7 is dependent on the synthesis of PGE2, an inflammatory lipid mediator in the eicosanoid family. Concretely, NR administration increases the PGE2 level in cultured human monocytes, MDMs, and human serum. In addition, NR-mediated increases in CCR7 expression and CCL19-induced migration are attenuated by PGE2 synthesis blockers. NR/SIRT3/migration axis in human M1 MDMs NR facilitates collective cell migration at a SIRT3-dependent manner in human M1 MDMs during wound healing. Simply put, the degree of wound healing is compared on Day 0 and Day 2 in vehicle- or NR-treated human M1 MDMs. It is found that NR increases the relative degree of migration (relative wound healing) and the rate of wound confluence in the presence of CCL19. Besides, the relative degree of wound density (migration) is blunted by SIRT3 knockdown, while being enhanced by SIRT3 overexpression. Application prospect of NR in wound healing Chronic diabetes is often accompanied with poor wound healing. For instance, diabetic foot ulcers, one of the chief cause of amputations, affect 15% of people with diabetes. Given that NR can drive the macrophage migration to boost chronic wound healing, it may have a broad application prospect in treating the wounds including but not limited to diabetic patients. Conclusion In human macrophages, NR induces surface expression of the chemotaxis CD197/CCR7 receptor and levels of its lipid mediator PGE2 via upregulation of cyclooxygenase 2 and functionally increases macrophage migration and wound healing in a SIRT3-dependent manner.

Exploring the New Role of NAD as a Central Regulator of Axonal Health
1.Introduction A series of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease, are accompanied with bioenergetic maladaptations and axonopathy with the increasing age. As a key coenzyme in energy metabolism, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) plays a critical role in maintaining axonal health in central neural system. 2.NMNAT2 as the major source of NAD in cortical neurons NAD is mainly synthesized by nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyl transferase 2 (NMNAT2). NMNAT2 is pivotal for maintaining NAD redox potential in distal axons, where it provides the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) required for fast axonal transport. Furthermore, NMNAT2 is the main source of NAD in cortical neurons, as evidenced by the reduction of NAD + and NADH levels by approximately 50% in the absence of NMNAT2. 3. The restoring effect of NAD+ supplementation on APP transport via glycolysis in the absence of NMNAT2 Exogenous NAD+ supplementation to NMNAT2-deficient neurons restores glycolysis and resumes fast axonal transport, as manifested by the diminished percentage of stationary/dynamic pause events, the elevated percentage of anterograde and retrograde events, and the restored anterograde and retrograde velocities of APP transport. 4. The molecular mechanism of NAD in protecting axonal health Remarkably, reducing the activity of SARM1, an NAD degradation enzyme, can reduce axonal transport deficits and suppress axon degeneration in NMNAT2-deficient neurons. SARM1 knockdown prevents the reduction in NAD+/NADH ratio normally caused by NMNAT2 loss. Blocking NAD+ degradation by reducing SARM1 abundance protects axons during NMNAT2 loss in vivo and in vitro. 5. Conclusion NAD+ supplementation or repressing the level of SARM1, an NAD + hydrolase, can effectively restore fast axonal transport and prevent the neurodegeneration commonly observed in NMNAT2-deficient axons both in vitro and in vivo, shedding a light on the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders of aging.

Extraordinary Merits of Ultrasensitive ELISA with Thio-NAD Cycling in Determining Dengue NS1 Protein
1. Introduction Dengue fever is an acute infectious disease caused by the Dengue virus through the bite of an infected Aedes species (Ae. aegypti or Ae. albopictus) mosquito, with the main symptoms such as high fever, dizziness, headache, rash and severe pains (eye, muscle, joint, or bone pain), etc. This disease is widely prevalent in tropical and subtropical climates. An estimated 100 to 400 million people are infected each year, where over 80% are usually mild and asymptomatic. Nonetheless, severe Dengue fever can increase the risk of death if not treated properly. Thus, early diagnosis of this disease is significant to its timely treatment. Noteworthily, non-structural protein 1 (NS1), a highly conserved glycoprotein, is chiefly secreted during the infection of Dengue virus, which is intensively deemed as the main pathogenesis factor of Dengue fever. Hence, NSI is generally used as a biomarker for the early detection of this disease. In this study, a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in combination with the thio nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (thio-NAD/S-NAD) cycling method (hereafter termed ultrasensitive ELISA) is utilized to detect NSI, followed by the comparison with NAAT to confirm its detection accuracy. 2. Advantages and disadvantages of traditional detection methods for Dengue fever At present, there are four main detection methods for Dengue fever. Viral isolation and identification have high specificity but are time-consuming, taking at least 5 days. The rapid antigen test is the fastest and most cost-efficient among the other methods, but the sensitivity and specificity are relatively low. Serologic test based on IgM and IgG is limited by the number of days of infection, as the test must be delayed until the level of antibodies rises to a detectable level. In clinic, NAAT is often applied to determine Dengue fever by dirt of its high sensitivity and specificity. However, this method is expensive, laborious, and prone to false positivity, which must be conducted by the trained personnel. To overcome the disadvantages of these methods, a new detection method ultrasensitive ELISA is applied in this study. 3. Workflow of ultrasensitive ELISA with thio-NAD cycling A pair of antibodies is used for capturing the NS1 protein in the sandwich ELISA, and alkaline phosphatase is labeled on the secondary antibody. Aside from the antibodies, an androsterone derivative, 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, thio-NAD, and NADH are used to construct the thio-NAD enzyme cycling system. During the thio-NAD cycling reaction, thio-NADH constantly accumulated in a triangular number fashion and could be directly measured at an absorbance of 405 nm. 4. The comparison of ultrasensitive ELISA and NAAT in the detection of Dengue NS1 Protein In NAAT, 60 specimens are dengue-positive, and 25 are dengue-negative. The NAAT cycling threshold (CT) value of those dengue-positive specimens ranged from 12.42 to 31.41. In the ultrasensitive ELISA, 59 specimens are correspondingly positive to the NAAT results, whereas 25 specimens are completely correspondingly negative to the NAAT results. Compared with NAAT, the sensitivity and specificity of the ultrasensitive ELISA are 98.3% and 100%, respectively (Table 2). Of 60 NAAT-confirmed dengue-positive patient specimens, only 1 specimen is negative in the ultrasensitive ELISA. The NAAT data showed that the specimen is a type 4 DENV infection case with a CT value of 21.59. The results of the ultrasensitive ELISA are in almost perfect agreement with the NAAT results, with a kappa value of 0.972 (95% CI: 0.917-1.0). 5. Conclusion Ultrasensitive ELISA method is easy to perform and requires no professional trainees to operate. The detection can be started immediately after receiving a small sample. It is particularly suitable for the early detection of Dengue disease in low-income countries.
