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 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.

1. Introduction Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most frequent complications of diabetes, ans also a major cause of foot ulcers, disability, and eventual amputation. With the prolongation of the diabetes, about 50% of people with diabetes will eventually develop DPN. Notably, supplementing NAD+ precursors could alleviate DPN symptoms by increasing the NAD+ level and activating the sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) protein. 2. The reversal effect of NAD+ precursors on DPN In vitro, the Dorsal Root Ganglion neurons (DRGs) isolated from diabetic mice are exposed to the NAD+ precursor Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) or Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN). It is found that the NAD+ level, the SIRT1 protein, and the deacetylation activity are elevated, followed by the boosted neurite growth, the improved nerve function, and the reversal of IENFD loss. In vivo, supplement of NMN or NR also offsets the neuropathy in C57BL6 mice induced by streptozotocin (STZ) or high fat diet (HFD), as manifested by the improved sensory function, normalized nerve conduction velocities, and restored intraepidermal nerve fibers. 3. The increase of neurite length in a SIRT1-dependent manner post the addition of NMN/NR SIRT1, one of the most unique NAD+ consuming enzymes, can protect against DPN when activated, which may attribute to the improved mitochondrial function and energy homeostasis. Apart from these, SIRT1 activity in the nucleus can deacetylate the transcriptional and co-transcriptional factors that regulate glucose homeostasis and fat oxidation. The activation of SIRT1 is critical for axonal regeneration. NMN/NR treatment or transfection with SIRT1 overexpression vector can directly facilitate the neurite growth in cultured DRG neurons, which however is hindered by the SIRT1 inhibitor EX527, hinting the significance of SIRT1. 4. The association of SARM1 with NMNAT2 in axonal degeneration of DPN Sterile alpha and Toll/interleukin-1 receptor motif-containing 1 (SARM1) controls the axonal degeneration and regeneration via a well-regulated system comprising NAD+ and NMN. NAD and NMNAT2 can boost vesicular glycolysis and axonal transport to maintain the axonal health. The mitochondrial localization of SARM1 complements the coordinated activity of NMNAT2 that promotes axonal survival. 5. Conclusion Supplementing NAD+ precursors may be a promising approach for the treatment of DPN. A SARM1 inhibitor coupled with either NR or NMN may be more effective than a single agent alone in preventing or treating DPN. Reference Chandrasekaran K, Najimi N, Sagi AR, et al.

1 Introduction Nicotinamide riboside (NR), a derivative of vitamin B3, is a new type of bioactive substance, which can be generated by binding a carbohydrate molecular ribose with nicotinamide (also known as niacin or vitamin B3). Nicotinamide riboside chloride (NRC/NR-CL) is a chloride salt form of NR. In daily life, NR-CL can be taken from NR supplements and food such as meat, fish and cereals. A recent study has revealed that NR-CL protects the hippocampus and ultimately promotes the recovery of cognitive function after brain ischemia. 2. The ameliorating impact of NRC upon ischemia-induced cognitive deficits Ischemia-induced cognitive deficits are ameliorated post NRC treatment. Specifically, NRC treatment improves the learning ability of mice, as evidenced by the shorter latency and the decreased path length. The hippocampal protection provided by NRC contributes to the recovery of spatial learning and memory after the ischemic insult. Figure 1 Acute NRC treatment potentiates cognitive recovery after ischemia 3. Reduction of the infarct volume in the hippocampus post acute NRC treatment After ischemia, there are deformed cell bodies, condensed nuclear chromatin, increased intracellular cell gaps, loosened cell arrangements and blurred visible staining in the damaged pyramidal neurons. NRC treatment partially offsets these morphological changes. Figure 2 Acute NRC treatment reduces the hippocampal infarct volume. 4. Recovery of neuronal damage in the hippocampus post acute NRC treatment After ischemia, brain damage emerges due to energy crisis-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, followed by the cell loss and neuronal apoptosis. NRC treatment leads to an increase in the number of positive cells, signifying the recovery of local neuronal loss. Figure 3 Acute NRC treatment attenuates neuronal loss in the hippocampus. 5. Upregulation of NAD and ATP levels in the hippocampus post acute NRC treatment By repleshing the production of NAD, acute treatment with NRC, to some extent, can salvage the energy supply in the hippocampus, which conspicuously enhances the recovery of ATP level. 6. Conclusion Collectively, acute NRC treatment increases the energy supply and reduces the neuronal loss to protect the hippocampus, thereby facilitating the recovery of cognitive function. NR-CL (ie. NRC) is a very promising component of health care products and has a wide range of application prospects. Before use, one should follow the guidance of professionals. At the same time, attention should be paid to reasonable intake and safe use to avoid the adverse effects of excessive use.
