VitaPQQ is a critical milestone in a decades-long effort to commercialize Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ), a newly discovered vitamin that offers significant health benefits due to its vitamin-like activity, cognitive function and antioxidant capacity. VitaPQQ is manufactured utilizing a patented natural fermentation process.

A key contributor to aging
Recently, scientists have uncovered a significant contributing factor to aging: the degradation of mitochondria.
Present within every human cell, mitochondria generate the energy our bodies need to function efficiently. When enough mitochondria become damaged, or their quantities diminish, they are not able to produce sufficient energy to keep all the organs going. The result? Less energy. Foggy thinking. Accelerated cellular aging.
Why our mitochondria fail us
Interestingly, mitochondria have their own DNA that is different from regular, nuclear DNA (nDNA). nDNA is encased in a protective protein coating. But mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is naked. That means it’s much more vulnerable to free radical damage. And guess where free radicals are generated? That’s right, in the mitochondria. Adding insult to injury, mtDNA is not equipped with the same repair mechanisms as nDNA. As a result, mtDNA suffers more than 10x the damage that nDNA does.
How PQQ works
Most anti-aging supplements, such as CoQ10 and L-carnitine, simply provide or transport fuel to the mitochondria. They do not actually affect mitochondrial function. If a car’s engine is not functioning properly, will it suddenly work better if you give it more gas?
PQQ is different. PQQ is an essential nutrient that has actually been demonstrated to modulate both the quantity and function of mitochondria in animal models.* Additionally, PQQ has been shown to protect the mitochondria from damage in test tube and animal studies.*
How PQQ can help
VitaPQQ from Quality of Life may:
* Slow the aging process.* Since aging has been linked to mitochondrial degradation, if we can limit the damage to mitochondria, we may slow the aging process.
* Boost your energy level. Because the mitochondria are responsible for producing energy, preserving mitochondrial function means more energy is available for physical activity.
* Improve your cognitive function. As the brain uses more energy than any other organ of the body, it is utterly dependent on the mitochondria for fuel. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled human clinical trial found that 20 mg of oral PQQ daily improved short-term memory and ability to concentrate in healthy adults compared to placebo.
About PQQ
PQQ has been the subject of over 175 different published studies. While it had been researched for decades, it wasn’t until 2003 that PQQ was proven to be essential for normal biochemical functions, meaning the body would shut down without it. Writing in the prestigious journal Nature, researchers wrote:
“On the basis of our demonstration of its molecular function, we propose that PQQ should be classified as a new B vitamin, joining niacin/nicotinic acid (vitamin B3) and riboflavin (vitamin B2).”
Tested for Safety
Like all vitamins, PQQ is a natural part of the food supply, occurring in soybeans, parsley, green peppers, spinach and green tea, among other foods and beverages. Because it is water-soluble (dissolves in water), the body only uses what it needs at any one time and excretes the rest, meaning there is no chance of accumulation. PQQ has been subjected to numerous safety tests and passed with flying colors. Even at three times the normal dosage, PQQ showed no toxicity in humans.
Take it Every Day
If you want to slow the aging process, boost your energy level, and improve your cognitive function, make VitaPQQ part of your daily vitamin regimen.
