Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), an aromatic tricyclic o-quinone, was identified initially as a redox cofactor for bacterial dehydrogenases.
It shows growth-promoting activity, anti-diabetic effect, anti-oxidative action, and neuro-protective function.
PQQ is a ubiquitous molecule that influences a multitude of physiological and biochemical processes and has been established to be beneficial for growth and stress tolerance in both bacteria and higher organisms.
It is well known that PQQ is distributed ubiquitously in nature and found in numerous dietary sources, including fermented soy beans (natto), tea, green peppers, parsley, kiwi fruit, and human milk.
PQQ can act as a cofactor, or enzyme booster, in the REDOX process(Reduction Oxidation). Because of its involvement in REDOX, PQQ offers certain anti-oxidative effects.
It is mostly notable is PQQ’s impact on mitochondria. Mitochondria provide our cells with energy (ATP) and regulate cellular metabolism. Researchers have looked extensively at the impact PPQ has on mitochondria and have found that PQQ can increase the number of mitochondria and even improve their efficiency. This is a big reason why PPQ is so beneficial
Having mitochondria that operate at peak performance is so important to living a healthy life, which means there are a number of benefits you can experience while taking PPQ.
