Enzyme catalysis method has gradually become the mainstream direction because of its advantages of green, environmental protection and pollution-free. And then the purity of NAD powder will reach 99% after the procedure of further purifying.
NAD powder efficacy in health
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.

Frequently Asked Question
Do you have any question?
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.

Further Exploration on the Effects of Sweetener Stevia on Human Gut Microbiota
1. Introduction The gut microbiota has long been regarded as one of the key elements contributing to the regulation of host health. Any changes in the composition or quality of the gut microbiota may have physiological consequences for the host. To determine the effect of sweetener stevia (also known as stevioside) on the gut microbiome of healthy population, the stool samples are collected from healthy participants who consume with or without five drops of the sweetener stevia twice daily. Following analyses of 16S rRNA sequencing method, no large-scale change is found in the gut microbiota post 12 weeks of consumption with stevia, hinting the safety of stevia. 2. Insignificant changes in the alpha or beta diversity following consumption of stevia It is discovered that there is no significant difference in alpha diversity (in terms of observed taxa, evenness and Shannon Index) and beta diversity (with regard to PCoA, PERMANOVA, and Jaccard Index) between groups. Nevertheless, PCoA plots shows strong separation along the x-axis. In addition, the community composition in each group is relatively even over time and equally diverse. 3. No clear difference in relative abundances of taxa At the genus level, relative abundances are similar between the control and stevia groups. No major difference is observed in relative abundances at the class, order and family level. Strikingly, butyricoccus is the only one identified taxon exhibiting significant difference at baseline, but not after 12 weeks of stevia consumption. Moreover, Collinsella and Aldercreutzia are two coprococcus species identified as explicitly different at baseline (one higher and one lower when comparing stevia vs. control), which however are significantly elevated after 12 weeks of consumption with stevia. 4. The safe intake volume of sweetener steviol glycosides In the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), there is a Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF), which is responsible for evaluating the safety of food additives and establishing acceptable daily intake levels for safe use. Steviol glycosides, one of the extract from stevia, is evaluated by the FAF as well. In accordance to the latest toxicological test, this sweeter is not genotoxic and carcinogenic, without any adverse effects on the human reproductive system or growing children. The expert group has set the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of steviol glycosides at 4 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day, which is consistent with the level determined by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) administered by the US Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). 5. Conclusion Regular, long-term consumption of stevia does not overtly alter the composition of the human gut microbiotia. Stevia can be safe as long as the intake volume is controlled appropriately.

Quantification NAD+ and its Metabolites in Mouse Sciatic Nerves
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.
