The main methods of NMNH powder preparation include extraction, fermentation, fortification, biosynthesis and organic matter synthesis. Compared with other preparations, the whole enzyme becomes the mainstream method owing to the advantages of pollution free, high level of purity and
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.”.
NADH is synthesized by the body and thus is not an essential nutrient. It does require the essential nutrient nicotinamide for its synthesis, and its role in energy production is certainly an essential one. In addition to its role in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, NADH is produced in the cytosol. The mitochondrial membrane is impermeable to NADH, and this permeability barrier effectively separates the cytoplasmic from the mitochondrial NADH pools. However, cytoplasmic NADH can be used for biologic energy production. This occurs when the malate-aspartate shuttle introduces reducing equivalents from NADH in the cytosol to the electron transport chain of the mitochondria. This shuttle mainly occurs in the liver and heart.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+ ) homeostasis is constantly compromised due to degradation by NAD+ -dependent enzymes. NAD+ replenishment by supplementation with the NAD+ precursors nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and nicotinamide riboside (NR) can alleviate this imbalance. However, NMN and NR are limited by their mild effect on the cellular NAD+ pool and the need of high doses. Here, we report a synthesis method of a reduced form of NMN (NMNH), and identify this molecule as a new NAD+ precursor for the first time. We show that NMNH increases NAD+ levels to a much higher extent and faster than NMN or NR, and that it is metabolized through a different, NRK and NAMPT-independent, pathway. We also demonstrate that NMNH reduces damage and accelerates repair in renal tubular epithelial cells upon hypoxia/reoxygenation injury. Finally, we find that NMNH administration in mice causes a rapid and sustained NAD+ surge in whole blood, which is accompanied by increased NAD+ levels in liver, kidney, muscle, brain, brown adipose tissue, and heart, but not in white adipose tissue. Together, our data highlight NMNH as a new NAD+ precursor with therapeutic potential for acute kidney injury, confirm the existence of a novel pathway for the recycling of reduced NAD+ precursors and establish NMNH as a member of the new family of reduced NAD+ precursors.
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 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.

Recently, a piece of good news came from the Japan Patent Office (one of the largest patent offices in the world) across the ocean to Shenzhen. The patent for "A STABLE NICOTINAMIDE RIBOSE COMPOSITION AND ITS PREPARATION METHOD" applied by Bontac was approved and issued a certificate. This invention patent is of great significance to the stability of Bontac coenzyme series products. This is another new recently patent obtained by Bontac after accumulating more than 150 patent applications. Such impressive achievements in scientific research are undoubtedly the best commendation for the innovative spirit of Bontac Biotech. Invention Title: A STABLE NICOTINAMIDE RIBOSE COMPOSITION AND ITS PREPARATION METHOD Technical advantages: Industrial artificial preparation of nicotinamide ribosehave made considerable progress to prepare relatively pure nicotinamide ribose at a lower cost. However, the monomer will become a viscous solid within a few seconds or minutes under ambient temperature and humidity as nicotinamide ribose is very easy to absorb moisture, and will disintegrate into oil within a few hours. In order to keep nicotinamide ribose as a dry solid, it needs to be stored in an absolutely dry environment, or frozen stored at about -20°C, which severely restricts the commercial application and promotion of nicotinamide ribose. Therefore, the development of stable nicotinamide ribose products has become a major problem that needs to be solved urgently. The purpose of the present invention is to solve the technical problem that the nicotinamide ribose monomer mentioned in the above background art is difficult to preserve and cannot be promoted and applied because it is very easy to absorb moisture and decompose. The invention provides a nicotinamide ribose composition with stable properties, easy storage, transportation and use. Only by continuously innovating technology can we adapt to the new opportunities in the new era, "respond to all changes" before new challenges, and produce a qualitative leap based on quantity. In the current favorable situation, Bontac Biotech's innovation plan is still non-stop, focusing on the overall market direction, paying attention to every link, solving every subtle problem, and writing Bontac's legend with active innovation. At this stage, Bontac Bio will continue to build a better R&D team, increase investment in scientific research, create better products for our customers, and empower greater value.
Introduction Glaucoma is regarded as the second dominant cause of blindness across the world. With the amounting number and proportion of elderly people, it is estimated that 111.8 million people will have glaucoma by 2040. Nicotinamide riboside (NR) has been attested to protect retinal ganglion cells from the stress of elevated intraocular pressure and optic nerve crush. Glaucoma patients can protect their optic nerves by oral administration of NR at a dose of 300 mg (approximately 1.18 mM). The abovementioned protective effects of NR may be achieved by its antioxidant and antifibrotic properties. About glaucoma Glaucoma is a typical ocular disease characterized by atrophy and depression of the optic nerve head, visual field defects, and diminution of vision. The pathologically increased intraocular pressure and insufficient blood supply to the optic nerve are deemed as the primary risk factors for the development of the disease. In addition to those with family history of glaucoma, people with severe myopia/hyperopia, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and long-term use of corticosteroid medications, especially eye drops, are at high risk for glaucoma. Extraordinary role of NR in protecting HTMs against oxidative stress In glaucoma, oxidative stress can trigger TM degeneration, thereby resulting in intraocular hypertension. Herein, an oxidative damage model is established in vitro by incubation of human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cells with 200 μM H2O2 for 24 h. As expected, NR hampers H2O2-induced apoptosis in HTM cells, as evidenced by the upregulation of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and downregulation of apoptotic protein Bax. Conversely, NR boosts the viability of oxidative-damaged HTM cells. In addition, NR can shield HTM cells from oxidative stress by lowering ROS and superoxide anion levels. Apart from this, NR overtly improves the H2O2-induced decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in HTM cells, hinting its antioxidant effect possibly achieved by maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. Underlying mechanism regarding the antioxidant role of NR in HTM cells MAPK and JAK2/Stat3 pathways are related to NR-alleviated HTM cell apoptosis during oxidative stress. In the MAPK pathway, H2O2 leads to the downregulation of p-P38/P38 ratio and upregulation of p-ERK1/2 protein expression, which are offset by intervention with NR. In the JAK2/Stat3 pathway, H2O2 induces downregulation of p-JAK2 protein expression, while NR runs oppositely. Potential antifibrotic role of NR in HTM cells Considering that transforming growth factor-beta 2 (TGF-β2), a profibrotic cytokine, is also a major contributor to glaucomatous HTM dysfunction, an HTM cell model of fibrosis is constructed by induction of TGF-β2 at 10 ng/mL for 48 h. Remarkably, NR prevents TGF-β2-induced fibrosis by reducing extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition in HTM cells. Concretely, the mRNA and protein levels of fibronectin (FN) are elevated in the TGF-β2-treated HTM cells, which however are counteracted by NR. Conclusion NR can boost the viability, proliferation and MMP oxidative damage in H2O2-induced HTM cells, and hamper TGF-β2-induced fibrosis, which is linked to the MAPK and JAK2/Stat3 pathways. NR may be a potential therapeutic agent for glaucoma by inhibiting oxidative damage and fibrosis in HTM cells. Reference Zeng Y, Lin Y, Yang J, et al.
