Bontac Bio-Engineering (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (hereafter referred to as BONTAC) is a high-tech enterprise established in July 2012. BONTAC integrates R&D, production and sales, with enzyme catalysis technology as the core and coenzyme and natural products as main products. There are six major series of products in BONTAC, involving coenzymes, natural products, sugar substitutes, cosmetics, dietary supplements and medical intermediates.
As the leader of the global NMN industry, BONTAC has the first whole-enzyme catalysis technology in China. Our coenzyme products are widely used in health industry, medical & beauty, green agriculture, biomedicine and other fields. BONTAC adheres to independent innovation, with more than 170 invention patents. Different from the traditional chemical synthesis and fermentation industry, BONTAC has advantages of green low-carbon and high-value-added biosynthesis technology. What’s more, BONTAC has established the first coenzyme engineering technology research center at the provincial level in China which also is the sole in Guangdong Province.
In the future, BONTAC will focus on its advantages of green, low-carbon and high-value-added biosynthesis technology, and build ecological relationship with academia as well as upstream/downstream partners, continuously leading the synthetic biological industry and creating a better life for human beings.
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.
According to recent industrial report, only several products from worldwide NMN manufacturers came close to meeting label claim and contain not enough NMN. Almost products performed better, having at least 88% of the label claim up to small overages. A lone 250 mg product was identified as BRL. In sum, ChromaDex said that 64% of the products tested contained less than 1% of the stated amount of the active ingredient. which should give consumers pause. While this is a limited snapshot of the vast NMN finished product landscape. it does provide a glimpse into the high variability of product quality that is available. The majority of the products may purchase online contain such a small amount of NMN that there would be no clinical benefits achieved from the dose. Another concern with these adulterated products is that the actual contents are not known and could pose a risk to the user the company said in a statement.

1.Raw material production process
Bioenzyme catalysis is a popular production method in the industry. It has a high threshold and several key catalytic enzymes are expensive, accounting for about 80% of the overall production process cost, but it is also the safest and most efficient production method. In the production of NMN by bioenzyme catalysis, the use of food-grade raw materials is an important part of the process to ensure product safety and to ensure that standards are followed.
2.High standard of production conditions
Production conditions refer to the standard of labor consumption required to complete the qualified products of the unit under certain production organization and production technology conditions. There are certifications issued by regulatory authorities, such as cGMP in the United States, TGA in Australia, GMP in Japan, etc.
3.High standard of product testing.
Product testing requires reliable test methods and reagents that are used throughout the production process. They are not only inspection standards for the final product, but also for the intermediate stages of control, including testing of active ingredients, testing of heavy metals such as lead, arsenic and mercury, and testing of pathogenic bacteria, microorganisms and processing by-products.
For NMN products, the commonly used method for active ingredient content testing is high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which is efficient, accurate and precise. For different manufacturers, the standards for testing reagents are different. Strict manufacturers will purchase high purity, analytically pure reagents from third party standards companies as controls.
4.Safety assessment
For relatively new raw materials such as NMN, it is not enough for consumers to judge the safety of the product on the side of the merchant alone. At this point, the third-party authoritative assessment report is particularly important.
Currently, there are two generic safety assessment reports, one is a toxicological assessment report and the other is a safety assessment report. In China, toxicological assessment reports usually account for the majority. However, there are still few NMN companies that can issue such reports
5.Storage and Packaging
NMNs are usually stored in sealed containers for up to 12 months. If it can be stored for 24 months with insignificant changes in purity, the stability of NMN is very reliable. Currently, the more common packaging materials are pet or hope, which are pharmaceutical packaging materials. They are non-toxic, odorless, lightweight, portable and effectively isolate air and moisture.
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 backed up 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 sold as functional food product rather 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 consumers. NMN should not be considered as 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 have been studied to discover the efficacy for 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. 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 Ginseng has always been highly perceived as a valuable traditional Chinese medicine in China. Currently, much attention also has been paid to ginsenosides, the main active ingredients extracted from ginseng. Strikingly, ginsenoside Rh2, one of the most representative bioactive ginsenosides in Panax ginseng, has immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor activities, showing a therapeutic role in numerous diseases. 2. The therapeutic effect of ginsenoside Rh2 * Enhance the immune function of the human body Ginsenoside Rh2 has the effect of enhancing the immune function of the patient's body. Notewothily, it can effectively reduce the toxicity left by chemotherapy in the human body by improving immunity. *Ameliorate neuropathic pain Intrathecal administration of ginsenoside Rh2 significantly attenuates SNI-induced mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia. The antinociceptive effect of Rh2 continued until 10 days after SNI surgeryn, showing a potential application value in pain therapy. Figure 1 Intrathecal injection of Rh2 inhibits neuropathic pain in mice * Suppress the inflammation Previous studies have revealed that ginsenoside Rh2 can inhibit spared nerve injury (SNI)-induced increase of proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1 and interleukin-6), and significantly inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced activation of BV2 cells. Figure 2 Intrathecal injection of Rh2 reduced expression of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α in SNI mice * Promote the synthesis of albumin Ginsenoside Rh2 acts as an immune regulator to promote the synthesis of albumin, which can provide heat for the human body, protect and stabilize the immunoglobulin in the blood. * Inhibit the growth of tumor cells Ginsenoside Rh2 exhibits a chemical structure similar to that of dexamethasone. In in vitro studies, it can suppress the growth and viability of various cancer cells, induce tumor cell cycle arrest and cellular apoptosis, trigger necrosis and autophagy in cancer cells, inhibit metastasis, and suppress angiogenesis. * Reversal of abnormal tumor differentiation Ginsenoside Rh2 has a differentiation-inducing effect on tumor cancer cells, and can effectively enhance the melanin production ability in cancer cells, thereby causing cancer cells to transform into normal cells in morphology. Table 1 Anticancer effects and mechanisms of ginsenoside‑Rh2 in in vivo studies 3. The difference between ginsenoside Rg3 and ginsenoside Rh2 Figure 3 Molecular struction of ginsenoside Rg3 and ginsenoside Rh2 Both ginsenoside Rg3 and ginsenoside Rh2 have been attested to achieve antitumor effects by strengthening the immune function of the body. Despite their similar mechanisms of action, differences still exist between ginsenoside Rg3 and ginsenoside Rh2. In terms of the molecular structure, ginsenoside Rh2 has only one glycosyl group, whereas ginsenoside Rg3 has two. In addition, ginsenoside Rh2 has a higher bioavailability than ginsenoside Rg3. Ginsenoside Rg3 is easy to be excreted from the body after being taken, and won't make much difference to the body. With regard to the intestinal absorption, ginsenotone Rh2 is about 5 times of ginsenotone Rg3. 4. Conclusion The monosaccharide ginsenoside Rh2 can effectively improve human immunity, enhance disease resistance, and reduce the risk of cancer. Relative to ginsenoside Rg3, ginsenoside Rh2 shows higher cost-efficiency in the intestinal absorption, application scope and efficacy, providing an upgraded health support.

Introduction Triocresyl phosphate (TOCP) is widely used in the realm of industry and agriculture in the last century. However, it is subsequently banned due to the increasing understanding of its toxicity. In the 21st century, TOCP comes back into the limelight as the aviation industry springs up. This research uncovers the adverse effects of TOCP on the reproductive system. Notably, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a crucial intermediate in the generation of NAD+, may serve as a therapeutic intervention to attenuate the oocyte damage caused by TOCP. About TOCP TOCP, a classic aromatic organophosphate ester, generally functions as flame retardant, plasticizer, lubricant, and jet fuel additive due to its chemical and thermal stability. At room temperature, TOCP is an odorless, yellowish transparent liquid. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents such as alcohol, ether and benzene. In addition to its use in aviation industry, TOCP is currently applied in the manufacturing of construction materials such as plastics, furniture, textiles, printed circuit boards, and insulation. The negative roles of TOCP in oocytes Through the analyses of germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) and polar body extrusion (PBE), it is discovered that TOCP impedes the maturation process of oocyte meiotic division, suppressing the reinitiation of oocytes and the final extrusion of the first polar body. Remarkably, maturation of oocytes is deemed as a critical prerequisite for successful fertilization and subsequent embryonic development. Besides, it triggers disturbances in the cytoskeleton of oocytes and affects the distribution and functionality of mitochondria. Furthermore, exposure to TOCP alters the genes related to histone modification in oocytes, as manifested by the elevated levels of histone methylation at H3K9me3 and H3K27me3. The reversing effects of NMN on TOCP in oocytes Replenishing NMN partially restores the spindle/chromosome structure as well as the attachment of microtubules to centromeres, and stabilizes the distribution of actin filaments, thereby maintaining chromosomal integrity and supporting the nuclear maturation process of oocytes. Meanwhile, NMN is also effective in rescuing mitochondrial dysfunction induced by TOCP, which restores membrane potential and ATP levels, reduces excessive ROS production, prevents DNA damage, and hinders cell apoptosis as well as epigenetic alterations. Conclusion Nicotinamide mononucleotide maintains cytoskeletal stability and fortifies mitochondrial function to mitigate oocyte damage induced by TOCP, signifying its potential application value in refining reproductive therapeutic strategies.

Introduction In light of a statistics report by World Health Organization (WHO), there are 18 million people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) worldwide in 2019, where the prevalence of female is 2.5 times that of male. This disorder greatly affects the life quality of patients and even causes disability in severe case. Noteworthily, mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosome (MSCs-exo) in combination with ginsenoside Rh2 has been unveiled to be effective in alleviating RA symptoms, holding a great promise as an adjuvant drug for RA. About RA RA represents a chronic autoimmune disease generally occurring in middle age, which is chiefly featured by vascular proliferation, synovium inflammation and the stiffness/swelling/deformation/pain of one or more joints. At present, the treatment of RA relies on corticosteroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, and biological agents. Yet, long-term use of these drugs may be accompanied with various adverse effects such as infection, liver damage, gastrointestinal damage, and heart failure. MSCs vs. MSCs-exo MSCs, with multiple differentiation potential, can reduce joint inflammation in RA. Nevertheless, there are potential risks such as immunogenicity, heterogeneity of different batches of cells, tumorigenicity, and ethical issues, limiting the application of MSCs. MSCs-exo is small extracellular vesicle secreted by MSCs, whose diameter ranges from 30 to 150 nanometers. It can carry biologically active substances such as nucleic acids and small molecules, fulfilling the function of MSCs. Relative to MSCs, MSCs-exo has low immunogenicity and has no risk of tumor formation and ethical constraints. Research protocol A collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model is constructed in rats, followed by the treatment of phosphate-buffered saline or single/combined therapy of MSCs-exo and ginsenoside Rh2. The rat fences are collected for 16 rRNA amplification sequencing and untargeted metabolomics analysis. Significant efficacy of MSCs-exo combined with ginsenoside Rh2 in RA The combined therapy of MSCs-exo and ginsenoside Rh2, to a large extent, ameliorates RA symptoms in CIA model rats, as manifested by the reduction of joint swelling as well as significant decline in arthritis score and paw thickness. Meanwhile, the histopathological changes in CIA model rats are apparently improved. Rh2 enhances the ability of MSC-exo to suppress the expression of inflammatory factors in synovium and cartilage of CIA model rats, as evidenced by the downregulation of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 as well as upregulation of IL-10 in exo+Rh2 group. Besides, bone erosion in the ankle joints of CIA rats is improved, as attested by the obvious increases in BMD and Tb.Th, as well as prominent decreases in BS/BV and Tb.Sp in exo+Rh2 group. Essential role of gut-joint axis in RA Gut microbiota and metabolites have been deemed to be critical in developing RA. Strikingly, MSCs-exo and Rh2 can significantly ameliorate the disturbed gut microbiota in CIA model rats. The regulation of Candidatus_Saccharibacteria and Clostridium_XlVb may be the most pivotal. Concretely, Candidatus_Saccharibacteria modulates the metabolic pathway of vitamin digestion and absorption by pantothenic acid and vitamin D3 alterations. As for Clostridium_XlVb, it regulates 16(R)-HETE alterations in the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway. Conclusion MSCs-exo and Rh2 act synergistically to ameliorate RA by modulating the gut microbiota and metabolites, especially the reshaping of Candidatus_Saccharibacteria and Clostridium_XlVb abundance.
