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.
NMN was only considered as a source of cellular energy and an intermediate in NAD+ biosynthesis, currently, the attention of the scientific community has been paid on anti-aging activity and a variety of health benefits and pharmacological activities of NMN which are related to the restoring of NAD+. Thus, NMN has therapeutic effects towards a range of diseases, including age-induced type 2 diabetes, obesity, cerebral and cardiac ischemia, heart failure and cardiomyopathies, Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, corneal injury, macular degeneration and retinal degeneration, acute kidney injury and alcoholic liver disease.
Aging, as a natural process is identified by downregulation of energy production in mitochondria of various organs such as brain, adipose tissue, skin, liver, skeletal muscle and pancreas due to the depletion of NAD+ . NAD+ levels in the body decrease as a consequence of increasing NAD+ consuming enzymes when aging There are three different biosynthesis pathways to produce NAD+ in mammalian cells including de novo synthesis from tryptophan, salt and Preiss-Handler pathways. Among these three pathways, NMN is an interproduct by is involved in NAD+ biosynthesis through salt and Preiss-Handler pathways. The salvage pathway is the most efficient and the main route for the NAD+ biosynthesis, in which nicotinamide and 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate are converted to NMN with the enzyme of NAMPT followed by conjugation to ATP and conversion to NAD by NMNAT. Furthermore, NAD+ consuming enzymes are responsible for degradation of NAD+ and consequence nt formation of nicotinamide as a by-product.
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 back 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 product sold as functional food 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 N red besumers. 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 over have been studied to 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. Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Usually through the analysis of these two spectra, the structure of the compound ca n be preliminarily determined.
1. Introduction Gastric cancer (GC) represents a global health-care challenge, which is the fifth most common cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer death across the world in 2020, with a significant incidence rate. Despite the efficacy of improved chemotherapy and surgical options, the prognosis of GC patients remains unsatisfactory. Remarkably, NAD+ is an intriguing target for cancer therapy by leverage of its impacts upon energy metabolism and pathway regulation. This research is engineered to probe into the magic roles of NAD+ metabolism-associated genes (NMRGs) in GC. 2. The establishment of prognostic risk model for GC patients Based on the expression levels of NAD+ metabolism-related genes in GC cell lines, a prognostic model is established for GC patients. Simply put, a total of 13 lncRNAs related to NMRGs are singled out by LASSO regression to construct prognostic risk model, with seven markedly up-regulated lncRNAs and six prominently down-regulated lncRNAs in GC tissues, as confirmed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. On this basis, six lncRNAs with the minimum likelihood of deviance corresponding to the first-rank value of Log (k) are chosen, followed by the plotting of model AUC and calculation of the risk score. The detailed calculation formula is listed below: risk score = AL139147.1 × (0.416) + AC107021.2 × (0.3119) + AC090825.1 × (0.1218) + AC005726.2 × (−0.0.0062) + AC012615.1 × (−0.0130) + AP001107.6 × (−0.0451). It is found that patients with high-risk scores have a poor prognosis. 3. The correlation between immune factors and risk scores The levels of immune cell infiltration, including CD8 T cells, CD4 naïve T cells, CD4 memory-activated T cells, B memory cells, and naïve B cells, are markedly associated with risk scores. Besides, high-risk patients show activated immune checkpoints as well as high immune and stromal scores. 4. The role of NAD+ in the metabolism of GC patients NAD+ not only promotes GC progression, but also promotes immune cell infiltration into tumors. The modulation of NAD+ is significant for the metabolism of GC patients. 5. Conclusion NMRGs may be promising biomarkers for predicting clinical outcomes of GC patients and ultimately facilitating their precise management.

Introduction The crucial parts of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and its metabolites in aging and neurodegeneration have been widely recognized. To spur progress toward biochemical research and interventions targeting aging and neurodegenerative diseases, it is of great significance to accurately quantify NAD+ and its metabolite levels in the NAD+ salvage pathway. Here, a robust and accurate LC-MS/MS method is applied to quantify NAD+ and its metabolites levels in normal and injured mouse sciatic nerve. Limitations of existing methods for quantifying NAD+ and its metabolites Traditional methods for quantifying NAD+ and its metabolites, such as HPLC-UV, NMR, capillary zone electrophoresis, or colorimetric enzymatic assays, face various challenges in sensitivity, selectivity, and indirect measurement. As for existing LC-MS/MS assays for cellular or tissue NAD+ and its metabolites measurements, there are still many difficulties to overcome, such as extended run times, poor chromatographic retention behavior, and unsatisfactory peak shapes. Moreover, only one to three substances in the NAD+ salvage pathway can be covered by these methods. The modifications of LC-MS/MS method On the basis of existing LC-MS/MS assays, the modifications regarding the chromatographic conditions, surrogate matrix and MS/MS conditions are conducted. Specifically, 5 μM of methylene phosphonic acid is employed as the mobile phase additive, which explicitly promotes the signal intensity and peak shape. Given the relatively clean and simple nature of never samples and their small size, ultrapure water is tested as a substitute matrix. Instead of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography column and hypercarb column, the Waters Atlantis Premier BEH C18 AX column is utilized, whose unique MaxPeak HPS high-performance surface technology (passivating the column inner wall, eliminating metal surface) enables the high reproducibility, peak symmetry, and baseline separation of all analytes. Besides, MS conditions are optimized to minimize the NAD+ interference signal in the cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) channel while maintaining the response of cADPR and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), with 4000V for ion spray voltage, 450℃ for turbo heater temperature, 50 psi for Gas 1, 50 psi for Gas 2, 30 psi for curtain gas, and 12 psi for collision gas. Representative chromatogram of nerve samples (normal vs injured) All five analytes achieve baseline separation, where cADPR is a sensitive biomarker in the neurodegeneration model. Herein, sciatic nerve axotomy induces axonal degeneration, leading to reduced NAD+ level and elevated NMN level in the injured nerves, resulting in about a 2-fold increase in the NMN/NAD+ ratio. Simultaneously, the levels of nicotinamide (NAM) and adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPR), are decreased by about 2-fold, while cADPR level is increased by more than 8-fold. These results are consistent with those of previously reported research, verifying the accuracy of this modified LS-MS/MS method in quantifying NAD+ and its metabolites. Conclusion This modified LC-MS/MS method enables effective baseline separation of NAD+, NMN, NAM, ADPR, and cADPR within a brief runtime of 5 min, which is contributive to early diagnoses of various neurological disorders and drug development for aging and neurodegenerative diseases.
