Be careful to the fraudulent NMN products in the market
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.
NMN powder produce methods utilized by manufacturers
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.

Frequently Asked Question
Do you have any question?
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.

The latest research proves: Coenzyme NAD+ can enhance tumor immunity! Expert Comment from Chinese Academy of Sciences
On August 10, 2021, researchers from Shanghai University of Science and Technology published an article titled NAD+ supplement potentiates tumor killing function by rescuing defective TUBBY-mediated NAMPT transcription in tumor infiltrated T cells in Cell Reports, revealing that NAD+ in supplemented during CAR-T therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, it can improve the anti-tumor activity of T. At present, the supplementary precursor of NAD+, as a nutritional product,has been verified for human consumption safety.This achievement provides a simply and feasible new method for improving the anti-tumor activity of T cells. Cancer immunotherapies including the adoptive transfer of naturally occurring tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and genetically engineered T cells, as well as the use of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) to boost the function of T cells, have emerged as promising approaches to achieve durable clinical responses of otherwise treatment-refractory cancers (Lee et al., 2015; Rosenberg and Restifo, 2015; Sharma and Allison, 2015). Although immunotherapies have been successfully used in the clinic, the number of patients benefiting from them is still limited (Fradet et al., 2019; Newick et al., 2017). Tumor microenvironment (TME)-related immunosuppression has emerged as the major reason for low and/or no response to both immunotherapies (Ninomiya et al., 2015; Schoenfeld and Hellmann, 2020). Therefore, efforts to investigate and overcome TME-related limitations in immune therapies are of great urgency. The fact that immune cells and cancer cells share many fundamental metabolic pathways implies an irreconcilable competition for nutrients in TME (Andrejeva and Rathmell, 2017; Chang et al., 2015). During uncontrolled proliferation, cancer cells hijack alternative pathways for more rapid metabolite generation (Vander Heiden et al., 2009). As a consequence, nutrient depletion, hypoxia, acidity, and generation of metabolites that can be toxic in the TME may hinder successful immunotherapy (Weinberg et al., 2010). Indeed, TILs often experience mitochondrial stress within growing tumors and become exhausted (Scharping et al., 2016). Interestingly, multiple studies also indicate that metabolic changes in TME could re-shape T cell differentiation and functional activity (Bailis et al., 2019; Chang et al., 2013; Peng et al., 2016). All these evidences inspired us to hypothesize that metabolic reprogramming in T cells might rescue them from a stressed metabolic environment, thereby reinvigorating their anti-tumor activity (Buck et al., 2016; Zhang et al., 2017). In this current study, by integrating both genetic and chemical screens, we identified that NAMPT, a key gene involved in NAD+ biosynthesis, was essential for T cell activation. NAMPT inhibition led to robust NAD+ decline in T cells, thereby disrupting glycolysis regulation and mitochondrial function, blocking ATP synthesis, and dampening the T cell receptor (TCR) downstream signaling cascade. Building on the observation that TILs have relatively lower NAD+ and NAMPT expression levels than T cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in ovarian cancer patients, we performed genetic screening in T cells and identified that Tubby (TUB) is a transcription factor for NAMPT. Finally, we applied this basic knowledge in the (pre) clinic and showed very strong evidence that supplementation with NAD+ dramatically improves the anti-tumor killing activity both in adoptively transferred CAR-T cells therapy and immune check point blockade therapy, indicating their promising potential for targeting NAD+ metabolism to better treat cancers. 1.NAD+ regulates the activation of T cells by affecting energy metabolism After antigen stimulation, T cells undergo metabolic reprogramming, from mitochondrial oxidation to glycolysis as the main source of ATP. While maintaining sufficient mitochondrial functions to support cell proliferation and effector functions.Given that NAD+ is the main coenzyme for redox, the researchers verified the effect of NAD+ on the level of metabolism in T cells through experiments such as metabolic mass spectrometry and isotope labeling. The results of in vitro experiments show that NAD+ deficiency will significantly reduce the level of glycolysis, TCA cycle and electron transport chain metabolism in T cells. Through the experiment of replenishing ATP, the researchers found that the lack of NAD+ mainly inhibits the production of ATP in T cells, thereby reducing the level of T cell activation. 2.The NAD+ salvage synthesis pathway regulated by NAMPT is essential for T cell activation The metabolic reprogramming process regulates the activation and differentiation of immune cells. Targeting T cell metabolism provides an opportunity to modulate the immune response in a cellular way. Immune cells in the tumor microenvironment, their own metabolic level will also be correspondingly affected. The researchers in this article have discovered the important role of NAMPT in the activation of T cells through genome-wide sgRNA screening and metabolism-related small molecule inhibitor screening experiments. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme for redox reactions and can be synthesized through the salvage pathway, de novo synthesis pathway, and Preiss-Handler pathway. The NAMPT metabolic enzyme is mainly involved in the NAD+ salvage synthesis pathway. Analysis of clinical tumor samples found that in tumor-infiltrating T cells, their NAD+ levels and NAMPT levels were lower than other T cells. Researchers speculate that NAD+ levels may be one of the factors that affect the anti-tumor activity of tumor-infiltrating T cells. 3.Supplement NAD+ to enhance the anti-tumor activity of T cells Immunotherapy has been exploratory research in cancer treatment, but the main problem is the best treatment strategy and the effectiveness of immunotherapy in the overall population. Researchers want to study whether enhancing the activation ability of T cells by supplementing NAD+ levels can enhance the effect of T cell-based immunotherapy. At the same time, in the anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy model and anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy model, it was verified that supplementation of NAD+ significantly enhanced the tumor-killing effect of T cells. The researchers found that in the anti-CD19 CAR-T treatment model, almost all mice in the CAR-T treatment group supplemented with NAD+ achieved tumor clearance, while the CAR-T treatment group without NAD+ supplemented only about 20 % Of mice achieved tumor clearance. Consistent with this, in the anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment model, B16F10 tumors are relatively tolerant to anti-PD-1 treatment, and the inhibitory effect is not significant. However, the growth of B16F10 tumors in the anti-PD-1 and NAD+ treatment group could be significantly inhibited. Based on this, NAD+ supplementation can enhance the anti-tumor effect of T cell-based immunotherapy. 4.How to supplement NAD+ The NAD+ molecule is large and cannot be directly absorbed and utilized by the human body. The NAD+ directly ingested orally is mainly hydrolyzed by brush border cells in the small intestine. In terms of thinking, there is indeed another way to supplement NAD+, which is to find a way to supplement a certain substance so that it can synthesize NAD+ autonomously in the human body. There are three ways to synthesize NAD+ in the human body: Preiss-Handler pathway, de novo synthesis pathway and salvage synthesis pathway. Although the three ways can synthesize NAD+, there is also a primary and secondary distinction. Among them, the NAD+ produced by the first two synthetic pathways only accounts for about 15% of the total human NAD+, and the remaining 85% is achieved through the way of remedial synthesis. In other words, the salvage synthesis pathway is the key to the human body to supplement NAD+. Among the precursors of NAD+, nicotinamide (NAM), NMN and nicotinamide ribose (NR) all synthesize NAD+ through a salvage synthesis pathway, so these three substances have become the body's choice for supplementing NAD+. Although NR itself has no side effects, in the process of NAD+ synthesis, most of it is not directly converted into NMN, but needs to be digested into NAM first, and then participate in the synthesis of NMN, which still cannot escape the limitation of rate-limiting enzymes. Therefore, the ability to supplement NAD+ through oral administration of NR is also limited . As a precursor for supplementing NAD+, NMN not only bypasses the restriction of rate-limiting enzymes, but is also absorbed very quickly in the body and can be directly converted into NAD+. Therefore, it can be used as a direct, rapid and effective method to supplement NAD+. Expert Reviews: Xu Chenqi (Excellence and Innovation Center of Molecular Cell Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Immunology Research Expert) Cancer treatment is a problem in the world. The development of immunotherapy has made up for the limitations of traditional cancer treatment and expanded the treatment methods of doctors. Cancer immunotherapy can be divided into immune checkpoint blocking therapy, engineered T cell therapy, tumor vaccine, etc. These treatment methods have played a certain role in the clinical treatment of cancer. At the same time, this also makes the current focus of immunotherapy research on how to further enhance the effect of immunotherapy and expand the beneficiaries of immunotherapy.
Metabolites of Rg3 are Expected to Increase the Anti-cancer Properties of Rg3
Introduction Rare ginsenoside Rg3, an active extract from Panax ginseng, is reported to possess a wide range of pharmacological properties including anti-angiogenesis and anti-cancer, with high lipophilicity (estimated log P4) and a low water solubility at pH7.4. Nevertheless, its permeability and bioavailability are relatively low, and production procedures are complex. Remarkably, the metabolites of Rg3 have similar and even stronger activity than Rg3, opening up new opportunities for future adjuvant cancer therapy. The association of ginsenoside Rg3 and its metabolites There are two epimers of ginsenoside Rg3, which can be subsequently deglycosylated into epimers of ginsenoside Rh2 (S-Rh2 and R-Rh2) and protopanaxadiol (S-PPD and R-PPD). The anti-cancer properties of Rg3 metabolites Angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation are both interdependent factors in tumor progression. In terms of anti-proliferation, Rg3 metabolites, who induce S-phase arrest and necroptosis in a human triple negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 as well as G0/G1 arrest and apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), are more potent than Rg3. The clinically relevant target of Rg3 metabolites are the endothelial cells. Anti-angiogenic effects are evaluated using loop formation assay. Among Rg3 metabolites, S-Rh2 is the most potent inhibitor of loop formation. VEGFR2 and AQP1 as the targets of Rh2 According to the prediction by in silico molecular docking, there is a good binding score between Rh2/PPD and the ATP-binding pocket of VEGFR2, a dominant regulator controlling both physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Through VEGF bioassay, it is discovered that S-Rh2 is a most potent anti-angiogenic candidate with allosteric modulatory action on VEGFR2 function. In addition, Rh2 and PPD have the potential of blocking AQP1 and AQP5, two members of the aquaporin family with vital roles in proliferation, migration, invasion and angiogenesis. Moreover, Rg3 is more selective for AQP1 and does not show a good binding score with AQP5. In light of this, blocking the water channel function of AQP1 may have an immediate role in inhibition of loop formation and anti-angiogenic effects of Rh2. Conclusion Metabolites of Rg3 could potentially increase the anti-cancer properties of Rg3. The application of these molecules alone or together may be potent alternatives for future adjuvant cancer therapy. Reference Nakhjavani M, Smith E, Yeo K, et al.

Protective Role of NAD+ Against MI-induced HF in Sprague-Dawley Rats and Beagles
1. Introduction Disrupted nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) metabolism is increasingly deemed to be one of risk factor for amendable cardiovascular disorders. A substantial evidence has mirrored that restoring NAD+ stock and energy metabolism may be effective in alleviating the symptoms of patients with heart failure (HF), one of the typical cardiovascular disease after myocardial infarction (MI). 2. About HF HF has dominant clinical features of ventricular filling or ejection impairment, concomitant with abnormalities in cardiac structure/function. This disorder afflicts about 38 million patients across the world, and the number of HF patients is on the rise with the age, posing a great threat to the life of patients and bringing huge economic burden on the patient family and society. In terms of drug therapies of HF, the "golden triangle" of beta blockers, ACEI/ARB, and aldosterone receptor antagonists has long been the preferred option. Despite significant improvement on the survival of patients, the 5-year mortality rate remains at 50%. Hence, it is of great significance to seek novel way with high efficacy and safety. NAD supplements may be an effective choice for alleviating HF. 3. Research protocol For further verification of the efficacy of NAD+, MI-induced HF models are constructed in male Sprague-Dawley rats and beagles herein. Subsequently, the left anterior descending arteries of MI-induced HF animals are ligated for 1 week, followed by 4-week treatment with or without low/medium/high dose of NAD+ and the positive control drug LCZ696, an angiotensin receptor blocker-neprilysin inhibitor with an cardioprotective effect after MI. 4. The efficacy of NAD on rats and beagles with MI-induced HF NAD+ shows the equivalent efficacy as LCZ696 in the treatment of MI-induced HF, or even better than LCZ696 at the medium and high doses. In rat/beagle HF models, the heart mass index, heart function, and myocardial fibrosis in the infarct marginal zone are dose-dependently improved post administration of NAD or LCZ696, as manifested by decreased end-systolic volume, end-systolic dimension, creatine kinase and lactic dehydrogenase, as well as the increased ejection fractions, fractional shortening, cardiac output, and stroke volume. In addition, the downregulation of left ventricular blood pressure in the HF model animals is ameliorated post administration of NAD or LCZ696. 5. Conclusion In rat and beagle MI-induced HF models, NAD+ conspicuously alleviates myocardial hypertrophy and cardiac function, represses myocardial fibrosis, and reduces the myocardial infarction, laying a theoretical foundation for the clinical application of energy metabolism therapy with NAD+.
