PQQ – Pyrroloquinoline Quinone
One of the most interesting mitochondrial nutrients is PQQ. This nutrient, being considered as a possible new vitamin, is both a potent antioxidant and one of the few substances shown to help grow new mitochondria. For a patient with long-term mitochondrial damage, helping to grow new mitochondria may be particularly important.
PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone — also known as methoxatin) is a potent antioxidant that offers several health benefits for the mitochondria found in every human cell. Mitochondria are the descendants of ancient bacteria that live inside of human cells and provide most of their power. Human cells typically contain from 2 to 2500 mitochondria per cell. Cells in high energy usage organs such as the heart, brain, kidney, and liver generally have the largest quantities of mitochondria.
Recent research demonstrates that PQQ helps grow new mitochondria essential to the energy supply in every human cell.
PQQ is synergistic with CoQ10 (ubiquinol) supplements. Those who are seeking the best results generally will get extra benefit out of combining PQQ with some form of CoQ10 supplement.
