1.Improved energy levels
Not only does NADH act as an important coenzyme in aerobic respiration, the [H] of NADH also carries a large amount of energy. Studies have demonstrated that extracellular use of NADH promotes increased intracellular ATP levels, suggesting that NADH penetrates cell membranes and elevates intracellular energy levels. On a macro level, exogenous supplementation of NADH helps to restore energy and enhance appetite. The increase in energy levels in the brain also helps to improve mental performance and sleep quality. NADH has been used overseas to improve chronic fatigue syndrome, increase exercise endurance, jet lag and other areas.
2.Cellular protection
NADH is a strong antioxidant that naturally occurs in cells and reacts with free radicals to inhibit lipid peroxidation, protecting mitochondrial membranes and mitochondrial function. It has been found that NADH can reduce oxidative stress in cells caused by various factors such as radiation, drugs, toxic substances, strenuous exercise and ischemia, thus protecting vascular endothelial cells, hepatocytes, cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts and neurons. Therefore, injectable or oral NADH is used clinically to improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and as an adjunct to cancer radiotherapy. Topical NADH has been shown to be effective in the treatment of rosacea and contact dermatitis.
3.Promotion of neurotransmitter production
Studies have shown that NADH significantly promotes the production of the neurotransmitter dopamine, a chemical signal that is essential for short-term memory, involuntary movements, muscle tone and spontaneous physical responses. It also mediates the release of growth hormone and determines muscle movement. Without sufficient dopamine, muscles become stiff. Parkinson's disease, for example, is caused in part by a disruption of dopamine synthesis in brain cells. Preliminary clinical data suggest that NADH can help improve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease [9]. NADH also promotes the biosynthesis of norepinephrine and serotonin, showing good potential for use in the relief of depression and Alzheimer's disease.
The main methods of NADH powder preparation from worldwide NADH manufacturers include extraction, fermentation, fortification, biosynthesis and organic matter synthesis. Compared with other preparations, the whole enzyme become the mainstream method owing to the advantages of pollution free, high level of purity and stability.
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.
The action of supplemental NADH is unclear. Oral NADH supplementation has been used to combat simple fatigue as well as such mysterious and energy-sapping disorders as chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Researchers are also studying the value of NADH supplements for improving mental function in people with Alzheimer's disease, and minimizing physical disability and relieving depression in people with Parkinson's disease. Some healthy individuals also take NADH supplements orally to improve concentration and memory capacity, as well as to increase athletic endurance. However, to date there have been no published studies to indicate that using NADH is in any way effective or safe for these purposes
First, inspect the factory. After some screening, NADH companies 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 NADH 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 NADH powder produced by Bontac reach the purity of 99%. 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 NADH (reduced form of NAD+) serves as a carrier of biological hydrogen and an electron donor, which participates in diverse physiological processes such as protein synthesis, DNA repair, insulin synthesis and secretion, immune response and cell division, playing a critical role in promoting health span and mitigating various disease states. Major enzymatic reactions in substrate metabolism that are dependent upon NAD+/NADH ratio The equilibrium of the NAD+/NADH ratio is vital for maintaining cellular reduction–oxidation (redox) homeostasis and modulating energy metabolism. Several enzymatic reactions in substrate metabolism are carried out in a NAD+/NADH ratio-dependent way. For instance, ketones suppress the increased mitochondrial production of ROS associated with excitotoxic injury by enhancing NADH oxidation (i.e. elevated NAD+/NADH ratio) in the electron transport chain, directly affecting NADH level . NADH in Krebs cycle and glycolysis NADH is produced in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle (also known as citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle), which can transfer energy to supply ATP synthesis through the process of oxidative phosphorylation in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Krebs cycle supplies NADH as an electron carrier to the electron transport chain in mitochondria, while glycolysis-produced NADH can be used by L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) or transported to the mitochondria for redox homeostasis. The effects of NADH on the mitochondria are accomplished by specialized shuttle systems (e.g., malate-aspartate or glycerol-3-phosphate). The possible strategies to modulate NADH level The main NAD/NADH biosynthetic pathways include de novo synthesis from tryptophan (TRP), synthesis from either form of vitamin B3, nicotinamide (NAM) or nicotinic acid (NA), or conversion of nicotinamide riboside (NR). Correspondingly, NADH level can be regulated by replenishing NADH precursors (eg. NR and NMN), applying NADH dehydrogenase inhibitors, having diets rich in certain nutrients (eg. vitamin B3), administrating mitochondrial targeting agents and supplementing exogenous NADH. Conclusion NADH may be a versatile therapeutic candidate by leverage of its ability to affect redox homeostasis, mitochondrial functions, and enzymatic reactions.

1. Introduction In mammalian cells, the majority of NAD+ is produced from metabolites entering the NAD+ salvage pathway. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is the rate-limiting enzyme of the salvage pathway, which can convert nicotinamide (NAM) into nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). Neuronal NAMPT is important for pre-/post-synaptic NMJ function, and maintaining skeletal muscular function and structure. 2. The involvement of NAMPT in NAD+ salvage pathway NAMPT activity has a pivotal role in energy metabolism and homeostasis. NAMPT can condense nicotinamide (NAM) and 5-phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) into nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). NMN is subsequently synthesized into NAD+ by nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase (NMNAT), the enzyme immediately after NAMPT. 3. The effect of NMN on partially reversing the NMJ impairments in NAMPT-/- cKO mice In the presence of NMN treatment, vesicle endocytosis/exocytosis is improved and endplate morphology is restored in Thy1-NAMPT-/-conditional knockout (cKO) mice. Also, loss of NAMPT in projection neurons impairs the endocytosis and exocytosis of synaptic vesicles at NMJs, but NMN can largely prevent these impairments. Furthermore, NMN treatment restores sarcomere alignment rather than mitochondrial morphology. 4. The underlying mechanism of NMN affecting NMJs The ameliorating effects of NMN on NMJs may be realized via NAMPT-mediated NAD+ salvage pathway, and this speculation is confirmed by the ameliorated synaptic vesicle cycling, endplate morphology, and muscle fiber structure and function post 2-week administration of the NAD+ precursor, NMN. 5. Conclusion Mechanically, the effects of NMN improving NMJ function, endplate morphology and muscular structure and contractility possibly involves NAMPT-mediated NAD+ salvage pathway. NMN holds a great promise as a therapeutic agent for skeletal muscle diseases. Reference Lundt S, Zhang N, Wang X, Polo-Parada L, Ding S.
