What is PQQ?

In 2003, Japanese researchers discovered pyrroloquinoline quinone, also known as PQQ or methoxatin. PQQ is an essential micronutrient found in human breast milk, soil, and most foods, but is especially potent in kiwi, green peppers, and parsley. 

This vitamin acts as an enzyme booster in the Reduction Oxidation (REDOX) process.* Studies have shown PQQ’s impact on mitochondria, which provide our cells with energy, regulate cellular metabolism, store calcium, and generate heat.* PQQ helps generate the mitochondria and improves their efficiency.* Known as the “powerhouses of the cell,” mitochondria are essential for a healthy body and mind.*

PQQ also has antioxidant and B-vitamin-like properties, which help reduce free radicals to prevent cell damage and promote a healthy inflammation response.* Taking a PQQ supplement enhances cognitive function and even maintains cholesterol levels already within healthy limits.*

What Are the Health Benefits of Taking PQQ?

While research remains ongoing, PQQ has already shown a wide range of benefits for the brain and body, including:*

1. Supports mitochondrial health*

Mitochondria are hugely important to our cells everyday function. PQQ has been shown to protect mitochondrial function and stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis, aka the generation of new mitochondria.* Taking a PQQ supplement combats mitochondria damage, which supports aging.*

2. Boosts energy*

Mitochondria are responsible for creating more than 90% of the energy needed to sustain life and support organ function. In theory, since PQQ preserves mitochondrial function, that means more energy may be available for physical activity.* If you are looking for a natural and safe energy boost, PQQ could be the answer for you.*

3. Improves cognitive function*

Perhaps the most widely known health benefit of PQQ is its relation with improved cognitive function.* As the brain is the command center of the body, it uses up tons of energy and therefore needs a lot of mitochondria to produce that energy.* PQQ helps boost brain power by combatting mitochondrial dysfunction.* It also prevents oxidative stress, which occurs when there is a buildup of oxidative radicals in the body.*

4. Protects nerve cells and supports nerve growth factor*

Think of PQQ and the coenzyme Q10 as a match that complements the other perfectly. Studies have shown that coenzyme Q10 protects nerve cells from damage through its antioxidant effects.* PQQ stimulates the production and release of nerve growth factor (NGF), which is key to maintaining and developing nerve cells, aka neurons.*

What Sets Quality of Life's Enhanced VitaPQQ ® Product Apart?
