Mitochondria are the organelles that produce almost all of the cellular energy the body requires. While present in all cells, organs like the heart and brain are particularly dense with mitochondria due to their high energy demands.
Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ) is a B Vitamin-like enzyme cofactor that helps to protect mitochondria from oxidative stress and promotes the generation of new mitochondria within cells. PQQ may thus help to maintain robust cellular energy production, support heart health, and promote normal cognitive function. CoQ10 and Acetyl-L-Carnitine have been included for their critical roles in mitochondrial function and energy production.
In 2003, the prestigious journal Nature reported on the discovery of PQQ — the first new vitamin discovered since 1948. Unlike any of the other 13 known vitamins, PQQ has specific benefits for the mitochondria — the “power plants” of our cells that generate energy. Scientific evidence suggests that mitochondrial damage is one of the main causes of aging. In vivo research indicates PQQ protects against mitochondrial damage. By protecting mitochondrial function, PQQ may slow the aging process. Since the mitochondria generate the energy that powers human life, PQQ may fight age-related fatigue. A double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trial found PQQ improves short-term memory and focus.
