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.
1. Introduction On July 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) has classified the soda sweetener aspartame as a possible carcinogen, but said that aspartame is safe to consume within a daily limit of 40 milligrams per kilogram of a person’s body weight according to the latest assessment results regarding the impacts of the non-sugar sweetener aspartame upon the health. How about another sweetener stevioside? Is stevioside a sugar reducer or a health killer? 2. Current situation on stevioside Stevioside (also termed stevia glycoside) has been regarded as “the third largest source of natural sugar across the world” by virtue of its low calorie, high sweetness, good stability and low price, which is widely used in medicine, daily chemicals, beverage, food, brewing and other industries. 3. Regulatory application and control of stevioside The aforementioned report of WHO on the possible carcinogenesis of soda sweetener aspartame is based on high intake. An adult weighing 70 kilograms or 154 pounds would have to drink more than 9 to 14 cans of aspartame-containing soda daily to exceed the limit and potentially face health risks. There is no need to be worry about the risk of carcinogenesis in the case of healthy intake. The same situation is applicable to another sweetener stevioside. Stevioside is approved to be sweetener in food in countries like Mainland China, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, the USA and European Union. In China, there are detail specifications on the food additive stevioside (GB 2760-2014). 4. The therapeutic properties of stevioside 4.1 Antitumor effect Stevioside can be applied as a valuable chemotherapy candidate to be further investigated for cancer therapy. The activity of the well-known tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), is successfully inhibited with stevioside in a murine skin-cancer model. In addition, stevioside can reduce mammary adenoma incidence in F344 rats. 4.2 Anti-hypertensive activity The hypotensive effect observed in rats after chronic oral administration (30 days) of 2.67 g stevia leaves/day has been confirmed in spontaneously hypertensive rats. In that murine model, stevioside (100 mg/kg; i.v.) is able to reduce blood pressure with no change in serum epinephrine, norepinephrine, or dopamine levels. 4.3 Anti-diabetics In diabetic rats, stevioside (0.2 g/kg; i.v. administration) decreases glucose blood levels, yet increases insulin responses and reactions to an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGT). Also, stevioside enhances insulin levels above basal during the IVGT, without altering blood glucose response, in normal rats, hinting its potential as a drug candidate for type 2 diabetes. 4.4 Inhibition of pathogenic bacteria Stevioside has demonstrated antibacterial action on various foodborne pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia coli, a wellknown etiologic agent of severe diarrhea. Regarding antiviral properties, stevioside seems to impede binding of rotavirus to host cells. Rotavirus is commonly associated with pediatric gastroenteritis. 4.5 Anti-inflammatory property In lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated THP1 cells, stevioside (1mM) inhibits NF-κB. Moreover, stevioside prevents in vitro upregulation of genes involved in liver inflammation. In addition, silico assays demonstrate its antagonistic action in two proinflammatory receptors: tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-1 and Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4-MD2. 4.6 Antioxidant capability The antioxidant effects of stevioside and rebaudioside A have been confirmed in a fish model, both of which effectively control lipoperoxidation and protein carbonylation. Furthermore, stevioside prevents oxidative DNA damage in the livers and kidneys of a type 2 diabetes murine model. 5 Conclusion As long as the intake is properly controlled, stevioside can be very useful. Stevioside holds a great promise in the clinical treatment and daily health care. Reference Orellana-Paucar A. M. (2023).

Introduction In light of a statistics report by World Health Organization (WHO), there are 18 million people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) worldwide in 2019, where the prevalence of female is 2.5 times that of male. This disorder greatly affects the life quality of patients and even causes disability in severe case. Noteworthily, mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosome (MSCs-exo) in combination with ginsenoside Rh2 has been unveiled to be effective in alleviating RA symptoms, holding a great promise as an adjuvant drug for RA. About RA RA represents a chronic autoimmune disease generally occurring in middle age, which is chiefly featured by vascular proliferation, synovium inflammation and the stiffness/swelling/deformation/pain of one or more joints. At present, the treatment of RA relies on corticosteroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, and biological agents. Yet, long-term use of these drugs may be accompanied with various adverse effects such as infection, liver damage, gastrointestinal damage, and heart failure. MSCs vs. MSCs-exo MSCs, with multiple differentiation potential, can reduce joint inflammation in RA. Nevertheless, there are potential risks such as immunogenicity, heterogeneity of different batches of cells, tumorigenicity, and ethical issues, limiting the application of MSCs. MSCs-exo is small extracellular vesicle secreted by MSCs, whose diameter ranges from 30 to 150 nanometers. It can carry biologically active substances such as nucleic acids and small molecules, fulfilling the function of MSCs. Relative to MSCs, MSCs-exo has low immunogenicity and has no risk of tumor formation and ethical constraints. Research protocol A collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model is constructed in rats, followed by the treatment of phosphate-buffered saline or single/combined therapy of MSCs-exo and ginsenoside Rh2. The rat fences are collected for 16 rRNA amplification sequencing and untargeted metabolomics analysis. Significant efficacy of MSCs-exo combined with ginsenoside Rh2 in RA The combined therapy of MSCs-exo and ginsenoside Rh2, to a large extent, ameliorates RA symptoms in CIA model rats, as manifested by the reduction of joint swelling as well as significant decline in arthritis score and paw thickness. Meanwhile, the histopathological changes in CIA model rats are apparently improved. Rh2 enhances the ability of MSC-exo to suppress the expression of inflammatory factors in synovium and cartilage of CIA model rats, as evidenced by the downregulation of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 as well as upregulation of IL-10 in exo+Rh2 group. Besides, bone erosion in the ankle joints of CIA rats is improved, as attested by the obvious increases in BMD and Tb.Th, as well as prominent decreases in BS/BV and Tb.Sp in exo+Rh2 group. Essential role of gut-joint axis in RA Gut microbiota and metabolites have been deemed to be critical in developing RA. Strikingly, MSCs-exo and Rh2 can significantly ameliorate the disturbed gut microbiota in CIA model rats. The regulation of Candidatus_Saccharibacteria and Clostridium_XlVb may be the most pivotal. Concretely, Candidatus_Saccharibacteria modulates the metabolic pathway of vitamin digestion and absorption by pantothenic acid and vitamin D3 alterations. As for Clostridium_XlVb, it regulates 16(R)-HETE alterations in the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway. Conclusion MSCs-exo and Rh2 act synergistically to ameliorate RA by modulating the gut microbiota and metabolites, especially the reshaping of Candidatus_Saccharibacteria and Clostridium_XlVb abundance.
