NAD refers to Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, found in all living cells, NAD with the CAS NO. of 53-84-9 and the chemical formula of C21H27N7O14P2 is called a dinucleotide because it consists of two nucleotides joined through their phosphate groups. One nucleotide contains an adenine nucleobase and the other nicotinamide NAD exists in two forms: an oxidized and reduced form, abbreviated as NAD+ and NADH (H for hydrogen), respectively.
In metabolism, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is involved in redox reactions, carrying electrons from one reaction to another. The cofactor is, therefore, found in two forms in cells: NAD+ is an oxidizing agent – it accepts electrons from other molecules and becomes reduced. This reaction, also with H+, forms NADH, which can then be used as a reducing agent to donate electrons. These electron transfer reactions are the main function of NAD. However, it is also used in other cellular processes, most notably as a substrate of enzymes in adding or removing chemical groups to or from, respectively, proteins, in posttranslational modifications. Because of the importance of these functions, the enzymes involved in NAD metabolism are targets for drug discovery.
In organisms, NAD can be synthesized from simple building-blocks (de novo) from either tryptophan or aspartic acid, each a case of an amino acid; alternatively, more complex components of the coenzymes are taken up from nutritive compounds such as niacin; similar compounds are produced by reactions that break down the structure of NAD, providing a salvage pathway that “recycles” them back into their respective active form.
Some NAD is converted into the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP); its chemistry largely parallels that of NAD, though predominantly its role is as a cofactor in anabolic metabolism.
In general, there are three main manufacture methods for NAD preparation utilized by NAD manufacturers in the world such as chemical or enzymatic synthesis, and fermentation biosynthesis. And at present, the NAD manufacturers are located worldwide including China, America, Japan and German.

How the NAD make sense in the era of post covid-19 pandemic?
1.Prevention and treatment of viral-induced inflammatory stormsScientists 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 disordersNAD+ 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.
How to choose a real NAD powder material manufacturer?
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.
What is the NAD manufacturer market situation?
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.

Anti-inflammatory Function of NMN in Macrophages via IDO1/Kynurenine/AhR Axis
1. Introduction Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) supplementation has been suggested to hamper the inflammatory responses via restoring NAD+ level and downregulating the expression of Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Strikingly, both Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), two key enzymes for kynurenine production, can mediate the anti-inflammatory function of NMN in RAW 264.7 macrophages. 2. The alleviated inflammatory response in the presence of NMN supplementation For deciphering the impact of NMN in vivo, mice are subjected to daily intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of NMN (500 mg/kg) for consecutive 6 days, followed by i.p. injection of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) (5 mg/kg) or alum (700 μg) on day 7. It is discovered that NMN supplementation suppresses LPS- or alum-induced inflammation in mice, as manifested by the downregulation of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and IL-1β) and proinflammatory enzyme (COX-2). 3. The necessity of AhR for NMN-mediated inhibition of inflammatory response in macrophages AhR, a ligand-activated transcription factor, can mediate the anti-inflammatory function of NMN upon LPS treatment in RAW264.7 cells. Specifically, NMN reduces the expression of COX-2 in cells in bearing AHR. On the contrary. AhR inhibitor (CH223191) deprives the downregulation of IL-6, IL-1β and COX-2 caused by NMN treatment. Likewise, NMN treatment fails to reduce the expression levels of IL-6, IL-1β, and COX-2 in AhR knockout cells. 4. The importance of IDO1/kynurenine/AhR axis in the anti-inflammation function of NMN IDO1 is the rate-limiting enzyme in tryptophan catabolism to produce kynurenine, a metabolic intermediate in NAD+ de novo synthesis pathway. Kynurenine can promote the translocation of AhR from the cytoplasm to nucleus, thereby exerting an anti-inflammatory effect. NMN inhibits LPS-induced inflammation in a IDO1-kynurenine dependent manner in macrophages. 5. Conclusion NMN supplementation mitigates COX-2-associated inflammatory responses by activating lDO-kynurenine-AhR pathway, providing new insights into NAD* regulation in macrophage activation.

Tight Connection of NADP+/NADPH Balance with Cardiovascular Pathologies
Introduction Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) poses huge economic burden and great threat to the life of patients, even surpassing Alzheimer's disease and diabetes. 17.9 million people in the world die from CVD, with indirect treatment costs of $237 billion per year, which are projected to increase to $368 billion by 2035. It has been reported that the deficiency or imbalance of oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+)/reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) redox couple has been linked to a variety of pathological conditions including CVD. NADP(H) redox couple as cofactor/electron carrier in cardiommyocytes NADPH is an essential cofactor of glutathione reductase (GR) and thioredoxin reductase (TRs) in cardiommyocytes, with a crucial role in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis and energy metabolism. GR catalyzes the recycling of Glutathion (GSH) from oxidized glutathione (GSSG), and TRs reduces oxidized Trx-S2 into Trx-(SH)2. Simultaneously, both enzymes require NADPH as an electron donor and oxidize it to NADP+. Once O2•− is formed, for example, from NOXs in the cytosol and from mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), cytosolic CuZnSOD and mitochondrial MnSOD will reduce it to H2O2. GSH can be used by glutathione peroxidase (GPx) to reduce H2O2 further to water. Trx-(SH)2 provides reducing equivalents for Prx in the removal of H2O2. The connection of NADP(H) with cardiovascular pathologies NADP(H) plays a dual role in cardiovascular pathologies. On the one hand, the reduced NADPH can result in significant antioxidant deficiencies and intracellular accumulation of free radicals, which triggers lipid peroxidation, inflammation, and vascular dysfunction, ultimately exacerbating the course of atherosclerosisoxidase. On the other hand, high NADPH level can give rise to myocardial injury by inducing reductive stress and enhancing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Conclusion Changes in cellular NADP(H) content affect the intermediary metabolism of cardiac function, especially in diseased myocardium. Maintaining the balance between NADP+ and NADPH in cardiommyocytes is critically important for the treatment of CVD. Either deficiency or excess NADP(H) levels can lead to imbalances in cellular redox state and metabolic homeostasis, resulting in energy stress, redox stress, and ultimately disease state. NADP(H) has an important therapeutic value in CVD. Reference Sun Y, Wu D, Hu Q. NADP+/NADPH in Metabolism and its Relation to Cardiovascular Pathologies. Curr Med Chem.
