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.
Introduction Ginsenoside Rh2 nanoliposome formulation has been proved to effectively target and deliver drugs to the tumor site, with less side effects and higher treatment efficiency, holding great promise in the treatment of tumors including breast cancer. Dilemma of traditional tumor therapies The traditional tumor therapies (eg. surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy) carry the high risks of damaging normal tissues and incompletely eradicating the cancer. Strikingly, nanotechnology opens up novel opportunities for tumor treatment, which can enhance earlier diagnosis through in vitro assays, promote imaging capabilities for diagnosis and treatment monitoring, and improve therapeutic outcomes by refining targeting precision, augmenting localized drug efficacy as well as minimizing systemic toxicity. Limitations of conventional liposome formulations The conventional liposome formations encounter a lot of bottlenecks in improving the progress of tumor microenvironment, a vital complex ecosystem for cancer development and metastasis. In addition, these formulations face the trouble (eg. issues related to religion tradition and vegetarianism) brought by cholesterol, an ingredient of traditional liposomes. Moreover, there are disadvantages of complicated fabrication process, low targeting efficiency of ligand-modified liposomes as well as extended circulation time of liposomes caused by the utilization of polyethylene glycol. Merits of PTX-Rh2-Lipo PTX-Rh2-lipo, a potential nanomedicine, has an overtly smaller particle size and higher zeta potential when compared with PTX-C-Lipo. Both types of liposomes show analogous encapsulation and stabilization abilities, as manifested by similar polydispersity index, encapsulation efficiency, and loading efficiency. Different from conventional wooden liposomes, PTX-Rh2-Lipo has the merits of enhanced uptake in tumor-associated fibroblasts L929 and 4T1 breast cancer cells, high targeting and penetration capacity, cytotoxicity against L929 fibroblasts, normalization of the vessel network, and depletion of stromal collagen. Conclusion Rh2-lipo cannot kill 4T1 breast cancer cells alone, despite of its stronger penetration ability in the tumors. Yet, it can act as a delivery vehicle for paclitaxel (PTX) to enhance its antitumor properties. Specifically, in this novel Rh2-Lipo-based nano-carrier PTX-Rh2-lipo, ginsenoside Rh2 can not only serve as a multifunctional membrane material to stabilize the structure and prolong the blood circulation of liposomes, but also works as an active ingredient to synergically enhance the efficacy of anti-cancer drugs by remodeling tumor-associated microenvironment and stimulating the immune system.

Introduction Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) poses huge economic burden and great threat to the life of patients, even surpassing Alzheimer's disease and diabetes. 17.9 million people in the world die from CVD, with indirect treatment costs of $237 billion per year, which are projected to increase to $368 billion by 2035. It has been reported that the deficiency or imbalance of oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+)/reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) redox couple has been linked to a variety of pathological conditions including CVD. NADP(H) redox couple as cofactor/electron carrier in cardiommyocytes NADPH is an essential cofactor of glutathione reductase (GR) and thioredoxin reductase (TRs) in cardiommyocytes, with a crucial role in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis and energy metabolism. GR catalyzes the recycling of Glutathion (GSH) from oxidized glutathione (GSSG), and TRs reduces oxidized Trx-S2 into Trx-(SH)2. Simultaneously, both enzymes require NADPH as an electron donor and oxidize it to NADP+. Once O2•− is formed, for example, from NOXs in the cytosol and from mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), cytosolic CuZnSOD and mitochondrial MnSOD will reduce it to H2O2. GSH can be used by glutathione peroxidase (GPx) to reduce H2O2 further to water. Trx-(SH)2 provides reducing equivalents for Prx in the removal of H2O2. The connection of NADP(H) with cardiovascular pathologies NADP(H) plays a dual role in cardiovascular pathologies. On the one hand, the reduced NADPH can result in significant antioxidant deficiencies and intracellular accumulation of free radicals, which triggers lipid peroxidation, inflammation, and vascular dysfunction, ultimately exacerbating the course of atherosclerosisoxidase. On the other hand, high NADPH level can give rise to myocardial injury by inducing reductive stress and enhancing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Conclusion Changes in cellular NADP(H) content affect the intermediary metabolism of cardiac function, especially in diseased myocardium. Maintaining the balance between NADP+ and NADPH in cardiommyocytes is critically important for the treatment of CVD. Either deficiency or excess NADP(H) levels can lead to imbalances in cellular redox state and metabolic homeostasis, resulting in energy stress, redox stress, and ultimately disease state. NADP(H) has an important therapeutic value in CVD. Reference Sun Y, Wu D, Hu Q. NADP+/NADPH in Metabolism and its Relation to Cardiovascular Pathologies. Curr Med Chem.
