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.
The preparation methods utilized by manufacturers worldwide of NAD powder are mainly divided into chemical synthesis method and biocatalytic method, among which biocatalytic method includes biological fermentation method and enzyme catalysis method. 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. But some NAD manufacturers tend to choose the multiple methods to develop the producing of NAD.
1.Prevention and treatment of viral-induced inflammatory storms
Scientists have found after extensive research that neo-coronavirus has a mechanism similar to SARS virus to activate inflammatory vesicles NLRP3. and the activation of NLRP3 produces more inflammatory factors, generating excessive inflammation and thus triggering a deadly cytokine storm. This problem can be well addressed by NAD+, which inhibits the activity of NF-κB inflammatory pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome by increasing the activity of sirtuins (SIRT1, SIRT2 and SIRT3), thus preventing cytokine storm caused by excessive inflammation. Therefore, Sinclair and other scientists believe that increasing the concentration of NAD+ may play an important role in the prevention and treatment of neocoronavirus and other viral infections.
2.Restoration of virus-induced metabolic disorders
NAD+ is an essential coenzyme for many cellular energy metabolic pathways, present in every cell of the body, involved in thousands of reactions, and an important player in maintaining cellular viability. In the COVID-19 infection model, NAD+ and NMN supplementation was found to be effective in alleviating cell death and protecting the lung.
First, inspect the factory. After some screening, NAD manufactures 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.
In the international market, NAD+ food supplements are in production in the United States, the Australian Food and Drug Administration has approved NAD+ products for sale, and Japanese NAD+ manufactures are devoted to extend the market share in China. Li Ka-shing invested HK$200 million in the US NAD manufacturer, whose NAD+ products are being sold by Watsons in Hong Kong! Then Mclane, a company owned by Warren Buffett also joined the NAD market.
Introduction Wound healing is a sophisticated process responding to tissue damage, which is associated with numbers of interaction of various cell types, cytokines, growth factors, and other molecules. Strikingly, increasing the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) pool by nicotinamide riboside (NR) can accelerate wound healing and macrophage migration, which is partially achieved through PGE2 synthesis and signaling as well as the function of the NAD+-dependent sirtuin, SIRT3. Regulatory effects of NR on the expression of M1 macrophage markers in human MDMs. NR could modulate the expression levels of canonical M1 (inflammatory phenotype) and M2 (reparative phenotype) cell surface markers during macrophage polarization. With a great detail, a significant downregulation in CD64 and a obvious upregulation of CD197/CCR7 are viewed in the polarized M1 cells incubated with NR. Furthermore, NR increases CD197/CCR7-mediated M1 macrophage migration. The significance of chemotaxis mediator PGE2 in NR-regulated macrophage migration NR-mediated upregulation of macrophage migration through CCL19/CCR7 is dependent on the synthesis of PGE2, an inflammatory lipid mediator in the eicosanoid family. Concretely, NR administration increases the PGE2 level in cultured human monocytes, MDMs, and human serum. In addition, NR-mediated increases in CCR7 expression and CCL19-induced migration are attenuated by PGE2 synthesis blockers. NR/SIRT3/migration axis in human M1 MDMs NR facilitates collective cell migration at a SIRT3-dependent manner in human M1 MDMs during wound healing. Simply put, the degree of wound healing is compared on Day 0 and Day 2 in vehicle- or NR-treated human M1 MDMs. It is found that NR increases the relative degree of migration (relative wound healing) and the rate of wound confluence in the presence of CCL19. Besides, the relative degree of wound density (migration) is blunted by SIRT3 knockdown, while being enhanced by SIRT3 overexpression. Application prospect of NR in wound healing Chronic diabetes is often accompanied with poor wound healing. For instance, diabetic foot ulcers, one of the chief cause of amputations, affect 15% of people with diabetes. Given that NR can drive the macrophage migration to boost chronic wound healing, it may have a broad application prospect in treating the wounds including but not limited to diabetic patients. Conclusion In human macrophages, NR induces surface expression of the chemotaxis CD197/CCR7 receptor and levels of its lipid mediator PGE2 via upregulation of cyclooxygenase 2 and functionally increases macrophage migration and wound healing in a SIRT3-dependent manner.

1. Introduction Mitochondria are the center of energy metabolism in cardiomyocytes, which are necessary for maintaining normal myocardial contractility and cardiac function. Typically, the development of cardiovascular disease is usually accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction. Impaired autophagy is known to cause mitochondrial dysfunction and heart failure, in part due to altered mitophagy and protein quality control. Notably, external replenishment of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) precursors can enhance autophagy and mitochondrial quality control to maintain metabolic health, thereby regulate mitochondrial and cardiac function. 2. NAD+ metabolism in mitochondrial and cardiac function Cardiomyocytes accumulate NAD+ mostly within their mitochondria, where the bulk of cellular oxidation-reduction reactions occur. However, NAD+ is also present in the cytosol and nucleus, in which NAD+-derived metabolites and NAD+-dependent enzymes contribute to various cellular functions. 3. Mitochondrial and cardiac dysfunction induced by NAD+ deficiency Mitochondrial and cardiac dysfunction triggered by NAD+ deficiency is alleviated in cAtg3-KO mouse hearts post the administration of β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), as evidenced by the restoration of citrate synthase (CS) activity, partial normalization of ATP level and NPPB mRNA expression in cAtg3-KO mice as well as upregulation of ADP level in WT mouse hearts. Besides, NNMT inhibition can rescue mitochondrial and cardiac dysfunction in cAtg3-KO mice by restoring NAD+ level. 4. The impact of autophagic flux upon cardiac and mitochondrial function Autophagy is an intracellular degradation pathway that recycles subcellular components, playing a critical in modulating metabolic homeostasis. Autophagic flux, a central homeostatic mechanism that degrades materials toxic to cardiomyocytes, can mediate SQSTM1-NF-κB-NNMT signal transduction to control the cellular level of NAD+, thereby maintaining the mitochondrial and cardiac function. 5. Conclusion Autophagic flux may be a potential way to maintain the cellular level of NAD to regulate mitochondrial and cardiac fiunction. . Reference [1] Abdellatif M, Sedej S, Kroemer G.

Introduction Ginsenoside Rh2 nanoliposome formulation has been proved to effectively target and deliver drugs to the tumor site, with less side effects and higher treatment efficiency, holding great promise in the treatment of tumors including breast cancer. Dilemma of traditional tumor therapies The traditional tumor therapies (eg. surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy) carry the high risks of damaging normal tissues and incompletely eradicating the cancer. Strikingly, nanotechnology opens up novel opportunities for tumor treatment, which can enhance earlier diagnosis through in vitro assays, promote imaging capabilities for diagnosis and treatment monitoring, and improve therapeutic outcomes by refining targeting precision, augmenting localized drug efficacy as well as minimizing systemic toxicity. Limitations of conventional liposome formulations The conventional liposome formations encounter a lot of bottlenecks in improving the progress of tumor microenvironment, a vital complex ecosystem for cancer development and metastasis. In addition, these formulations face the trouble (eg. issues related to religion tradition and vegetarianism) brought by cholesterol, an ingredient of traditional liposomes. Moreover, there are disadvantages of complicated fabrication process, low targeting efficiency of ligand-modified liposomes as well as extended circulation time of liposomes caused by the utilization of polyethylene glycol. Merits of PTX-Rh2-Lipo PTX-Rh2-lipo, a potential nanomedicine, has an overtly smaller particle size and higher zeta potential when compared with PTX-C-Lipo. Both types of liposomes show analogous encapsulation and stabilization abilities, as manifested by similar polydispersity index, encapsulation efficiency, and loading efficiency. Different from conventional wooden liposomes, PTX-Rh2-Lipo has the merits of enhanced uptake in tumor-associated fibroblasts L929 and 4T1 breast cancer cells, high targeting and penetration capacity, cytotoxicity against L929 fibroblasts, normalization of the vessel network, and depletion of stromal collagen. Conclusion Rh2-lipo cannot kill 4T1 breast cancer cells alone, despite of its stronger penetration ability in the tumors. Yet, it can act as a delivery vehicle for paclitaxel (PTX) to enhance its antitumor properties. Specifically, in this novel Rh2-Lipo-based nano-carrier PTX-Rh2-lipo, ginsenoside Rh2 can not only serve as a multifunctional membrane material to stabilize the structure and prolong the blood circulation of liposomes, but also works as an active ingredient to synergically enhance the efficacy of anti-cancer drugs by remodeling tumor-associated microenvironment and stimulating the immune system.
