Properties
PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) is a vitamin B complex substance that destroys free radicals. As humans, we cannot make PQQ ourselves so we depend entirely on food (kiwi, parsley, tofu, green tea, spinach) and supplementation.
PQQ contributes to mitochondrial biogenesis by activating AMPK. Mitochondrial biogenesis means that it stimulates the production of mitochondria. Mitochondria are power plants of the cell regulating ATP (energy).
That is why PQQ can also be used successfully in the sports world. Mitochondrial biogenesis is routinely enhanced by exercise, hence the combination of exercise and PQQ intake has a synergetic effect that ensures the production of new mitochondria. Also, other substances such as Q10, vitamin B12, acetyl-L-carnitine and L-carnitine work synergistically because they also have an impact on mitochondrial activity.
Scientific research shows that not only a lack of antioxidant capacity but also the malfunctioning of our mitochondria is the basis of numerous complaints and syndromes. Since PQQ acts on both processes, it can be used in a wide variety. It can also be used in cases of cognitive decline.
- Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
