Healthy Aging & Cognition Achieved with Enhanced VitaPQQ®

, , |

The brain and immune system are two of the most complex parts of our bodies. After all, one determines what we do, think, and feel, while the other fights off threats to keep us healthy.

While you may not think these two would be connected, they are linked in an important way. The immune system is the number one defense against threats in the environment. It is closely linked to our mood and cognitive health.

Scientists, researchers, and doctors around the world are still figuring out how to boost immunity, but the signs are already promising that a healthy brain contributes to a healthy immune system.

Key Takeaways:

  • Learn about the properties of Coenzyme Q10 and how it relates to healthy aging.
  • Find out how PQQ improves sleep, memory, reduces fatigue, and supports retention.
  • Uncover the evidence that shows PQQ is beneficial for the brain and body.

The Properties of Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10, aka COQ10, is a natural antioxidant that resides in all our cells and decreases with age or interaction with medications.

CoQ10 was discovered in 1957 and determined to be a key to unlocking the energy in mitochondria.*

Though CoQ10 appears in small amounts through food, it is more effective through supplementation. Well studied and documented, this coenzyme plays an essential role in fueling mitochondria function and protecting cells from free radical damage.*

What is PQQ?

PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) is a superstar micronutrient and antioxidant only recently isolated in 2003. Scientists found that PQQ supports mitochondrial health and cellular energy production, keys to healthy aging.*

PQQ improves stress-related sleep and mood, enhances short-term memory, retention, and attention span, and can reduce fatigue and lethargy.*

PQQ also spurs mitochondrial biogenesis, spontaneously increasing the number of mitochondria in the body to support healthy aging and protect the brain.*

Evidence shows PQQ is beneficial for the brain and body in three principal ways:

  • Prevents Oxidative Stress*: Slows the buildup of oxidative radicals within the body to help you age well.*
  • Supports Optimal Mitochondrial Function*: When mitochondria are damaged or diminished, sufficient energy needed is not available to all organs in the body. The result is fatigue, foggy thinking, and accelerated aging at the cellular level. PQQ helps activate, transport, and metabolize energy from ingested food throughout the body.*
  • Supports Nerve Growth Factor*: Studies show PQQ may stimulate the production of nerve growth factor within cells to help brain neurons, supporting cognition, and memory function.*

The PQQ compound is found in human milk, and it occurs naturally in soil, and minute amounts of plant foods like fermented soybean (natto), green soybeans, spinach, tofu, green peppers, green tea, parsley, and kiwi. Because this micronutrient is metabolized and eliminated from the body rather quickly, specially formulated supplements provide more bioavailability than naturally occurring food sources.

While CoQ10 works to improve the speed and efficiency of mitochondria function, PQQ promotes the growth of mitochondria.* Together they help the body convert food and oxygen into more energy, faster.*

Quality of Life’s Enhanced VitaPQQ®

The old adage “mind your ps and qs” takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to this advanced ingredient. PQQ, a vitamin discovered in 1948, helps protect mitochondrial function and promotes the growth of new mitochondria.*

Quality of Life's product Enhanced VitaPQQ® features PQQ plus CoQ10, a coenzyme that provides mitochondria with fuel.*

MicroActive® CoQ10 is a highly bioavailable form of CoQ10 that is universally absorbed and delivers sustained release over 24 hours, so blood levels remain high for a longer period of time compared to regular CoQ10.*

A double-blind human study found that the combination of PQQ + CoQ10 improves short-term memory and focus better than either ingredient alone.*

Maintaining Cognitive Upkeep for Overall Health

In addition to taking supplements, maintaining a healthy brain and immune system requires regular exercise, adequate sleep, and a balanced diet. Keeping stress to a minimum is essential, as some studies show stress weakens the immune system.

Go for a walk, have a get-together with friends, try out a new recipe or self-care routine to help you relax, maybe even get involved in the community. Maintaining a healthy mindset is just as important as practicing any other healthy habit.

Enhanced metabolism, more vitality, less stress, better sleep, and improved brain health may be achieved with a combination of regular self-care and incorporating PQQ!*

Aging well and taking care of our cognition is a goal we all must embrace and actively work on. Ready to harness a better quality of life today? Grab a bottle of Enhanced VitaPQQ®!*
