PQQ is an immensely powerful vitamin-like antioxidant found in plants. It is 5,000 times more potent than vitamin C. PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) helps strengthen mitochondrial health and promote youthful cellular function.*
Mitochondrial Energy Production
One of the key aspects of aging is that mitochondria, your cell's engines, become inefficient. Protecting the mitochondria from damage and regenerating new mitochondria is essential for healthy aging.*
In order for a cell to make energy, mitochondria must combust calories and oxygen. PQQ helps keep mitochondria in good working order to make energy more efficiently while protecting against oxidative stress.*
Muscle Health and Lactic Acid
PQQ is an excellent antioxidant for muscle health. It helps reduce lactic acid production in the muscles. Excess lactic acid causes muscle fatigue and tightness. Lactic acid build up is often noticeable after a strenuous workout. However, some individuals experience muscle fatigue or tightness regularly upon waking or throughout the day, even without exercise. A study showed that 20mg of PQQ helped to reduce lactic acid by 15% in just one week.
Heart Health and Memory
Research shows that PQQ supports the heart and brain, organs that require much energy. PQQ promotes healthy heart cell function and blood flow in the heart muscle. It also works synergistically with coenzyme Q10 to improve memory and focus in adults.*
Nerve Health
PQQ is shown to increase nerve growth factor, a special protein vital for the growth, maintenance, and health of nerve cells. PQQ helps calm nerve irritation and protect nerves.*
