NAD powder efficacy in health
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.

Frequently Asked Question
Do you have any question?
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.

Mechanism for Preventing and Treating Covid-19: NMN VS Paxlovid
With the epidemic control policies loosening worldwide, residents in China, India, Malaysia, Japan and Singapore have suffered a shortage of medicines to varying degrees. But on the other hand, the type of medicines available to the public is dynamically increasing, and at present the anti-Covid-19 stars available on the market include Paxlovid, NMN, etc. What are the similarities and differences between the two in terms of mechanism of preventing and treating the Coronavirus? It is necessary to briefly make out the principle of Covid-19 infection in human cells before discussing the mechanism of action of Paxlovid and NMN. How SARS-CoV-2 infect cells? First, the mature Covid-19 (as shown in Figure 1) is mainly composed of structure proteins including spike (S) protein, nucleocapsid (N) protein, membrane (M) protein and envelope (E) protein and RNA viral gene. Figure 1. SARS-Cov-2 structure The SARS-CoV-2 opens a channel into the cell by its S protein through recognizing and binding to the ACE2 protein receptor of host cells in vivo. After entering the host cell, the SARS-CoV-2 initiates transcription and translation activities, replicating plenty of SARS-CoV-2, disrupting the cell structure and interfering with the normal cell function. Under this mechanism of action, the supplement of medicine directly comes into play on the sides of spike S protein of the Covid-19 and the ACE2 protein of host cells in human body. Paxlovid prevents the synthesis of S proteins of SARS-CoV-2. The mechanism of Paxlovid to treat Covid-19 Paxlovid was made up with two main ingredients, Nirmatrelvir and Ritonavir. Nirmatrelvir combats SARS-CoV-2 by blocking the synthesis of S proteins.The gene information of all SARS-CoV-2 proteins only take over 1/3 of the right side of RNA strand (as shown in Figure 2), and the remaining 2/3 of the RNA gene strand is used for transcription and translation for multiple proteins to synthesize the polyprotein. After the polyprotein is synthesized, it will be cleaved into several functional proteins likely S protein by virus proteases. Figure 2. RNA structure In short, when the SARS-CoV-2 replicates, the RNA initiates transcription and translation for proteins in bulk and then proteases cleave it to form structural proteins (S protein). The main proteases used when replicating is CL3. Nirmatrelvir of Paxlovid binds to the CL3 protease to prevent the cleavage of the SARS-CoV-2 polyprotein so as to interrupt the protein synthesis of viral. (As shown in Figure 3). What’s more, another ingredient, Ritonavir, works by maintaining the concentration of Nirmatrelvir in the body, prolonging and enhancing its efficacy and maintaining the interruption strength for the replicating protease CL3. Figure 3.CL3 in translation The mechanism of NMN to prevent and treat Covid-19 NMN prevents Covid-19 infection by protecting DNA and reducing ACE2 expression, shutting down the pathway of ACE2 protein into human cells. The researchers found that DNA damages accumulates intracellular ACE2 receptor proteins. However, these two enzymes to repair DNA damage, sirtuins and PARP, need to be to motivated by NAD+. Studies showed that NMN supplementation is effective in increasing NAD+ levels and thus reducing ACE2 protein expression. As it demonstrates that experiment proved that a reduction in ACE2 expression after infected with the SARS-CoV-2, along with a reduction in viral load and tissue damage in the lungs (as shown in Figure 4) based on the situation that 200mg/kg of NMN fed to old mice aged 12 months for 7 days. Figure 4. NMN performance in recuding viral loads The study not only reaffirms the convincing for NMN to treat Covid-19 infection, but based on its proven ability to reduce lung pathological damage and even death in mice infected with neointima, NMN may be used in clinical trials to treat patients with Covid-19 infection. It is clear from the above principles of action that both Paxlovid and NMN work on original source of infection to treat and prevent Covid-19. The difference between the two is that Paxlovid interferes with the replication of the virus while NMN closes the door to the entry of Covid-19 into human cells. Both different mechanisms of action are in principle effective in preventing the invasion of Covid-19. References 1.

Extraordinary Merits of Ultrasensitive ELISA with Thio-NAD Cycling in Determining Dengue NS1 Protein
1. Introduction Dengue fever is an acute infectious disease caused by the Dengue virus through the bite of an infected Aedes species (Ae. aegypti or Ae. albopictus) mosquito, with the main symptoms such as high fever, dizziness, headache, rash and severe pains (eye, muscle, joint, or bone pain), etc. This disease is widely prevalent in tropical and subtropical climates. An estimated 100 to 400 million people are infected each year, where over 80% are usually mild and asymptomatic. Nonetheless, severe Dengue fever can increase the risk of death if not treated properly. Thus, early diagnosis of this disease is significant to its timely treatment. Noteworthily, non-structural protein 1 (NS1), a highly conserved glycoprotein, is chiefly secreted during the infection of Dengue virus, which is intensively deemed as the main pathogenesis factor of Dengue fever. Hence, NSI is generally used as a biomarker for the early detection of this disease. In this study, a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in combination with the thio nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (thio-NAD/S-NAD) cycling method (hereafter termed ultrasensitive ELISA) is utilized to detect NSI, followed by the comparison with NAAT to confirm its detection accuracy. 2. Advantages and disadvantages of traditional detection methods for Dengue fever At present, there are four main detection methods for Dengue fever. Viral isolation and identification have high specificity but are time-consuming, taking at least 5 days. The rapid antigen test is the fastest and most cost-efficient among the other methods, but the sensitivity and specificity are relatively low. Serologic test based on IgM and IgG is limited by the number of days of infection, as the test must be delayed until the level of antibodies rises to a detectable level. In clinic, NAAT is often applied to determine Dengue fever by dirt of its high sensitivity and specificity. However, this method is expensive, laborious, and prone to false positivity, which must be conducted by the trained personnel. To overcome the disadvantages of these methods, a new detection method ultrasensitive ELISA is applied in this study. 3. Workflow of ultrasensitive ELISA with thio-NAD cycling A pair of antibodies is used for capturing the NS1 protein in the sandwich ELISA, and alkaline phosphatase is labeled on the secondary antibody. Aside from the antibodies, an androsterone derivative, 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, thio-NAD, and NADH are used to construct the thio-NAD enzyme cycling system. During the thio-NAD cycling reaction, thio-NADH constantly accumulated in a triangular number fashion and could be directly measured at an absorbance of 405 nm. 4. The comparison of ultrasensitive ELISA and NAAT in the detection of Dengue NS1 Protein In NAAT, 60 specimens are dengue-positive, and 25 are dengue-negative. The NAAT cycling threshold (CT) value of those dengue-positive specimens ranged from 12.42 to 31.41. In the ultrasensitive ELISA, 59 specimens are correspondingly positive to the NAAT results, whereas 25 specimens are completely correspondingly negative to the NAAT results. Compared with NAAT, the sensitivity and specificity of the ultrasensitive ELISA are 98.3% and 100%, respectively (Table 2). Of 60 NAAT-confirmed dengue-positive patient specimens, only 1 specimen is negative in the ultrasensitive ELISA. The NAAT data showed that the specimen is a type 4 DENV infection case with a CT value of 21.59. The results of the ultrasensitive ELISA are in almost perfect agreement with the NAAT results, with a kappa value of 0.972 (95% CI: 0.917-1.0). 5. Conclusion Ultrasensitive ELISA method is easy to perform and requires no professional trainees to operate. The detection can be started immediately after receiving a small sample. It is particularly suitable for the early detection of Dengue disease in low-income countries.
