1.Improved energy levels
Not only does NADH act as an important coenzyme in aerobic respiration, the [H] of NADH also carries a large amount of energy. Studies have demonstrated that extracellular use of NADH promotes increased intracellular ATP levels, suggesting that NADH penetrates cell membranes and elevates intracellular energy levels. On a macro level, exogenous supplementation of NADH helps to restore energy and enhance appetite. The increase in energy levels in the brain also helps to improve mental performance and sleep quality. NADH has been used overseas to improve chronic fatigue syndrome, increase exercise endurance, jet lag and other areas.
2.Cellular protection
NADH is a strong antioxidant that naturally occurs in cells and reacts with free radicals to inhibit lipid peroxidation, protecting mitochondrial membranes and mitochondrial function. It has been found that NADH can reduce oxidative stress in cells caused by various factors such as radiation, drugs, toxic substances, strenuous exercise and ischemia, thus protecting vascular endothelial cells, hepatocytes, cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts and neurons. Therefore, injectable or oral NADH is used clinically to improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and as an adjunct to cancer radiotherapy. Topical NADH has been shown to be effective in the treatment of rosacea and contact dermatitis.
3.Promotion of neurotransmitter production
Studies have shown that NADH significantly promotes the production of the neurotransmitter dopamine, a chemical signal that is essential for short-term memory, involuntary movements, muscle tone and spontaneous physical responses. It also mediates the release of growth hormone and determines muscle movement. Without sufficient dopamine, muscles become stiff. Parkinson's disease, for example, is caused in part by a disruption of dopamine synthesis in brain cells. Preliminary clinical data suggest that NADH can help improve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease [9]. NADH also promotes the biosynthesis of norepinephrine and serotonin, showing good potential for use in the relief of depression and Alzheimer's disease.

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.
The action of supplemental NADH is unclear. Oral NADH supplementation has been used to combat simple fatigue as well as such mysterious and energy-sapping disorders as chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Researchers are also studying the value of NADH supplements for improving mental function in people with Alzheimer's disease, and minimizing physical disability and relieving depression in people with Parkinson's disease. Some healthy individuals also take NADH supplements orally to improve concentration and memory capacity, as well as to increase athletic endurance. However, to date there have been no published studies to indicate that using NADH is in any way effective or safe for these purposes
First, inspect the factory. After some screening, NADH 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 NADH 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 NADH 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 The senescence in mammals is generally concomitant with the dysregulation of intestinal homeostasis and the accumulation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations. High-burden mtDNA mutations lead to NAD+ depletion and activate the transcription factor ATF5-dependent UPRmt, which in turn promotes and exacerbates the intestinal senescence phenotype. By supplementation with the NAD+ precursor NMN, this intestinal senescence phenotype can be rescued to some extent, as evidenced by the recovery of intestinal organoid differentiation and the increased number of intestinal stem cells. 2. NAD+ depletion during intestinal senescence caused by mtDNA mutations There is impairment of NADH/NAD+ redox in Mut/Mut*** intestines, as manifested by the enriched NADH dehydrogenase complex assembly pathway. Through transfection of intestinal crypt cells with SoNar (a NADH/NAD+ sensor), a higher NADH/NAD+ ratio is observed in Mut/Mut*** mice, hinting the perturbed redox potential. Likewise, following transfection of intestinal crypt cells with FiNad (a NAD+ sensor), less NAD+ content is discovered in the Mut/Mut*** cells. All of these findings mirror NAD+ depletion in the intestinal senescence triggered by mtDNA mutations. Note: mtDNA mutations are classified into four types: negligible (WT/WT), low (WT/WT*), moderate (WT/Mut**) and high (Mut/Mut***). 3. The link between mtDNA mutation content and physiological intestinal senescence The small intestine of aged mouse intestine is characterized by decreased intestinal crypt number, increased villus length, higher expression of CDKN1A/p21 (a well-known senescence marker) and shorter telomere length, which is accompanied by accumulation of mtDNA mutations, primarily low-frequency (less than 0.05) point mutations. 4. LONP1 protein as a candidate marker for intestinal senescence caused by accumulated mtDNA mutations Mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) is activated by a variety of mitochondrial stresses, including protein imbalances between mitochondria and the nucleus as well as impaired mitochondrial protein transport. The hallmarks of UPRmt are increased protein expression levels of LONP1, HSP60 and ClpP. Noteworthily, only LONP1 protein is specifically upregulated in senescent UPRmt activation triggered by accumulated mtDNA mutations, which may be a candidate biomarker for intestinal senescence. 5. The role of NAD+ in intestinal senescence induced by elevated mtDNA mutations. NAD+ repletion in vivo alleviates the small intestine senescent phenotypes caused by mtDNA mutation burden, and rescues the decreased colony formation efficiency in Mut/Mut*** intestinal organoids. NAD+-dependent UPRmt triggered by mtDNA mutations regulates intestinal senescence. These data further indicate that NAD+ depletion functions as a key mediator of the intestinal senescence induced by accumulated mtDNA mutations. 6. The role of NAD+ in the signal pathways regulating intestinal senescence caused by increased mtDNA mutations NAD+ repletion rescues the Foxl1 downregulation and Notch1 upregulation in Mut/Mut*** mice, suggesting that mtDNA mutation burden can regulate the function or number of niche cells through NAD+ depletion. In addition, NAD+ depletion caused by increased mtDNA mutation burden induces the decline of LGR5-positive intestinal cells via impairment of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. 7. Conclusion NAD+ repletion is significant for the regulation of intestinal homeostasis, playing a critical role in rescuing the intestinal senescence phenotype caused by accumulated mtDNA mutations.

1.Introduction Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen (NADPH), also known as reduced coenzyme II, is a critical cofactor in cellular antioxidant systems and lipid synthesis, which links insulin resistance and ferroptosis of pancreatic β cells in the context of metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus, playing a central role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis. 2. Biological role of NADPH NADPH functions as a coenzyme essential to cellular metabolism, playing pivotal roles in various critical biological processes, such as ROS scavenging, ROS production, fatty acid synthesis and cholesterol synthesis. 3. Biosynthetic pathway of NADPH Cellular production of NADPH is facilitated through several pathways, including the pentose phosphate pathway, the citric acid cycle, and fatty acid metabolism. The dynamic equilibrium between NADPH synthesis and consumption is essential for preserving cellular redox balance and enabling a host of biosynthetic reactions. 4. The role of NADPH in insulin secretion from pancreatic β-Cells Both redox reaction and metabolic signaling can modulate insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, where NADPH plays a central role. It can not only serves as a metabolic coupling factor, but also acts as a custodian of β-cell integrity, delicately managing the interplay between metabolic inputs and insulin output. 5. The interaction between insulin resistance and NADPH A substantial body of evidence reveals that NADPH is critical for the regulation of oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, the main contributors to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. Specifically, NADPH is implicated in ROS production via NOX and is also utilized in the synthesis of new fatty acids, which contributes to the development of insulin resistance, particularly in the context of obesity-induced chronic inflammation. 6. The impact of NADPH upon the ferroptosis in the context of diabetes In pancreatic β cells, the elevated blood sugar and pro-inflammatory cytokines can trigger oxidative stress and iron accumulation to promote lipid peroxidation, thereby facilitating the ferroptosis. In return, the ferroptosis can reduce insulin secretion and beta cell mass, which is contributive to the progression of diabetes. In general, NADPH plays a dual role in ferroptosis. On the one hand, it can promote ROS generation via NOX. On the other hand, it can support antioxidant defense through glutathione regeneration. In the context of diabetes, NADPH may predominantly fuel processes leading to ferroptosis, mainly due to the enhanced activity and affinity of NOX, which however requires further research for verification. 7. Conclusion NADPH has a critical role in the complex landscape of metabolic disorders, particularly insulin resistance and ferroptosis. Regulating NADPH-related pathways may open up new opportunities for the treatment of metabolic disorders.
