Product Description: Pyrroloquinoline QuinoneCell Energy and Brain SupplementProduct DetailsMaintain healthy mental functions, including memory, with powerful antioxidant support for healthy mitochondriaSupport the growth and health of mitochondria, the energy centers of cellsClinical research supports brain health in older adults Protective benefitsHelps cellular energy production to support physical function and muscle maintenancePyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), provided by Swanson Health Foods, is a vitamin-like nutrient related to the B vitamins and discovered relatively recently. PQQ is described as a powerful nutrient that brings together the most beneficial aspects of vitamins C, B2 and B6 to benefit the body. The potential benefits of PQQ are incredibly broad. PQQ is an extremely powerful antioxidant, 100 times more efficient than vitamin C and phenolic compounds by far in terms of its ability to promote sustained circulation. PQQ acts directly as an antioxidant and is then recycled back to its active form, greatly expanding its ability to repeat this process. This ability to perform repetitive oxidation and reduction reactions results in more consistent antioxidant activity in the body. Powerful antioxidants have important effects on the brain, nervous system, and potentially other systems throughout the body. Antioxidants have neuroprotective properties, meaning they protect nerve cells from damage, benefiting brain health and cognitive function. Recent studies have shown that PQQ improves visual and verbal memory in both young and older people. In other words, PQQ may help maintain healthy brain function well into old age. PQQ is activated in mitochondria, the energy centers of cells. What we call 'energy' are adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules, produced in small cellular structures called mitochondria. Adenosine triphosphate is responsible for storing energy and then transferring that energy to cells in other parts of the body, powering the heart, brain, muscles and other organs. When we are young, our bodies have enough mitochondria to function at their best. However, as a normal process of aging, the quality and activity of mitochondria decrease over time. PQQ may promote healthy cellular energy as you age by promoting mitochondrial structure and function. In a recent study, PQQ's effects on mitochondrial health were linked to physical function and muscle maintenance. This means that supplementing with PQQ can help your muscles synthesize cellular energy, allowing you to achieve more. Product Usage: As a supplement, take 1 veggie capsule daily with water.
