PQQ Pyrroloquinoline quinone

Updated: Sep 15




We will include some images with foods high in PQQ. I also read dark chocolate but it isn't on the images. But chocolate is always worth mentioning

My LLND has me take daily. I buy on Fullscript because of price.


"PQQ can bring some serious benefits when it comes to your energy, as the mitochondria acts as the battery of the cell and is responsible for generating power. In fact, you can often find PQQ and CoQ10 combined in supplements that are aimed at amping up energy levels and extending the life span.

PQQ also has antioxidant properties, and taking a PQQ supplement is believed to help reduce inflammation, boost brain power and even lower cholesterol levels — as well as provide a host of other powerful health benefits." https://draxe.com/nutrition/pqq-supplement/

"Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) has been found to be important in energy production by the mitochondria and acts through cell signaling pathways.8 PQQ supplementation has been shown to support mitochondrial health."


"Besides increased mitochondria making new energy, PQQ reduces inflammation and free radical damage. In one study, healthy people who took 20 mg of PQQ experienced an up to 45% decrease of the inflammatory markers CRP and I6 in three weeks. It is 5,000 times more powerful as an anti-oxidant than Vitamin C."


"Like essential nutrients, the immune system seems particularly sensitive to low levels of PQQ. Deprivation of PQQ leads to multiple defects in immune function and a reduced ability of white blood cells to respond properly."


It has received a lot of research attention in the past several years. PQQ can reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and improve the apoptosis (death) of tumor cells. PQQ protects tissues by regulating the redox (electron transfer) reaction. Moreover, PQQ protects overall tissue function by improving the mitochondrial function of the liver, neurons, and other important tissues.


"Within 48 hours of supplementation there was a definitive increase in mitochondrial function as measured by metabolites in the urine."


"Furthermore, PQQ has been demonstrated to significantly influence the functions of mitochondria, the organelles responsible for energy production within cells, and their dysfunction is associated with various health conditions, including obesity complications. Here, we explore PQQ properties that can be exploited in obesity treatment and highlight the underlying molecular mechanisms. We review animal and cell culture studies demonstrating that PQQ is beneficial for reducing the accumulation of visceral and hepatic fat. In addition to inhibiting lipogenesis, PQQ can increase mitochondria number and function, leading to improved lipid metabolism."


"For the first time, this study investigated the effects of the strong antioxidant pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) on mitochondrial function in a cardiac pressure overload model, and the mechanism by which PQQ regulates m homeostasis was explored in depth."
