when applied to cultured cells, the NMNH is shown to be more efficient than NMN as it was able to “significantly increase NAD+ at a ten times lower concentration (5 µM) than that needed for NMN”. Moreover, NMNH shows to be more effective, as at 500 µM concentration, it achieved “an almost 10- fold increase in the NAD+ concentration, while NMN was only able to double NAD+ content in these cells, even at 1 mM concentration.”.
Interestingly, NMNH also appears to act quicker and has a longer-lasting effect compared to NMN. According to the authors, NMNH induces a “significant increase in NAD+ levels within 15 minutes”, and “NAD+ steadily increased for up to 6 hours and remained stable for 24 hours, while NMN reached its plateau after only 1 hour, most likely because the NMN recycling pathways to NAD+ had already become saturated.”.
The main methods of NMNH powder preparation 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.
NMNH also proved more effective than NMN in raising NAD+ levels in a variety of tissues when administered at the same concentration, confirming the results observed in cell lines. The data presented in this study also corroborate the evidence that NAD+ boosters protect against different models of acute kidney injury, and place NMNH as a great alternative intervention to other NAD+ precursors to reduce tubular damage and accelerate recovery.
To overcome the limitations of the current repertoire of NAD+ enhancers, other molecules with a more pronounced effect on the NAD+ intracellular pool are desired. This has stimulated us to investigate the use of the reduced form of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMNH) as an NAD+ enhancer. There is very scarce information about the role of this molecule in cells. In fact, only one enzymatic activity has been described to produce NMNH. This is the NADH diphosphatase activity of the human peroxisomal Nudix hydrolase hNUDT1232 and the murine mitochondrial Nudt13.33 It has been postulated that, in cells, NMNH would be converted to NADH via nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyl transferases (NMNATs).34 However, both NMNH production by Nudix diphosphatases and its use by NMNATs for NADH synthesis have only been described in vitro using isolated proteins, and how NMNH participates in cellular NAD+ metabolism remains unknown.
First, inspect the factory. After some screening, NMNH 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 NMNH 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 NMNH cannot be guaranteed, the remaining substances are likely to exceed the relevant standards. As the attached certificates demonstrates that the NMNH 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.
1. Introduction Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) has been unveiled to be essential for embryonic development. Patients with genetic variants in the NAD+ de novo synthesis pathway often have congenital NAD deficiency disorder (CNDD), a multisystem condition inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. In the context of NAD+ deficiency, all organs and systems, not just vertebrae, heart, kidneys, and limbs, may be affected. 2. The association between NAD synthetase 1 (NADSYN1) and CNDD Individuals delivering biallelic NADSYN1 variants share similar clinical features to those with CNDD. Up till now, almost all of the identified CNDD cases can be attributed to biallelic loss-of-function variants in any of 3 nonredundant genes of the NAD de novo synthesis pathway, including kynureninase (KYNU), 3-hydroxyanthranilate 3,4-dioxygenase (HAAO), or NADSYN1. Among individuals with CNDD identified to date, those with biallelic pathogenic NADSYN1 variants are the most diverse in phenotype. 3. The impact of NADSYN1 variants upon enzymatic activity and phenotype Specifically, NADSYN1 can catalyse the amidation of nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide (NaAD) to NAD. Biallelic pathogenic variants in NADSYN1 cause a metabolic block in both the de novo pathway and the Preiss-Handler pathway, leading to NAD deficiency. Biallelic NADSYN1 loss-of-function variants impact the NAD metabolome of humans. Post-birth phenotypes involve feeding difficulties, developmental delay, short stature, etc. 4. Mouse embryogenesis disrupted by the loss of NADSYN1 In NADSYN1-/- mouse embryos, NAD-dependent malformations occur when maternal dietary NAD precursors are limited during gestation. The affected Nadsyn1-/- embryos most frequently present malformations of the kidneys, eyes, and lungs. 5. The preventative effect of amidated NAD precursor supplementation against CNDD NADSYN1-dependent embryo loss and malformation in mice are preventable by dietary supplementation of amidated NAD precursors (NMN and NAM) during pregnancy. Maternal diet–derived NAD precursors primarily determine the development of healthy embryos. 6. Conclusion NAD-boosting supplements are essential for individuals with biallelic loss-of-function variants in NADSYN1. Maternal NAD precursor supplementation, to some extent, can reduce the risk of developing CNDD. Reference Szot JO, Cuny H, Martin EM, et al.

1. Introduction Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) compartmentalized in adipocytes can modulate adipocyte differentiation and gene expression, in addition to controlling glucose metabolism. White adipose tissue (WAT), one major adipose tissue, may be one of the direct target for NAD supplementation. 2. About WAT In contrast to brown adipose tissue (BAT), WAT contains a single lipid droplet and few mitochondria. WAT, once thought to be morphologically and functionally unremarkable, is in fact highly dynamic, with plasticity and heterogeneity, which is widely distributed in the subcutaneous tissues and around the internal organs. WAT plays a key role in a range of biological processes, such as maintenance of energetic homeostasis, processing and handling of glycans and lipids, blood pressure control, and host defence, with tight relationship with metabolic disorders such as diabetes. 3. The tissue-specific roles of NAD NMN is synthesized from NAM and NR by NAMPT and NRK, respectively. The synthesized NAD+ from NMN is used as a SIRT1 substrate, which leads to the recycling of NAD+ via the salvage pathway. In this process, NAD+ can exert different effects depending on the tissue. Remarkably, NAD precursors can control metabolic stress particularly via focusing on adipose tissue. 4. The effects of boosting NAD+ on WAT Supplementation of NMN and NR has been shown to reduce body weight and enhance insulin sensitivity in regular chow-fed aged wild-type mice and diet-induced obese mice, respectively. NAM supplementation diminishes fat accumulation in diet-induced obese mice. Additionally, both NMN and NR supplementation prevent inflammation even with different treatment duration. NAM administration boosts mitochondrial biogenesis and glutathione synthesis in WAT. Similarly, it is evidenced that NMN treatment in high fat diet-induced type 2 diabetes mouse model facilitates the recovery of Glutathione S-transferase Alpha 2 (Gsta2) gene expression in the liver. 5. The adipose-specific effects of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) NAMPT, one NAD regulator in WAT, is a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of metabolic disorders. NAMPT plays a potential role in maintaining adipose tissue homoeostasis, as evidenced by the explicitly blocked adipocyte differentiation and lipid synthesis in vitro post treatment of NAMPT inhibitor FK866. For some reasons such as differences in sex, age, and/or basal levels of cellular NAD+ availability, there are various inconclusive results regarding the impacts of NAD+ metabolism on adipocytes in the adipocyte-specific NAMPT-deficient mouse model or in vitro cell models. Further investigation on the effects of NAD+ supplementation and the distinct functions of NAMPT in adipocytes is still needed. 6. Conclusion The importance of NAD metabolism in WAT has been highlighted. NAD has tissue-specific roles. Specifically, WAT may be one of the direct target for NAD supplementation. Supplementation with NAD+ precursors can reduce fat accumulation and inflammation in adipose tissue. Reference Kwon SY, Park YJ.
