PQQ

Few of us have ever heard about this relatively new antioxidant / neuroprotector coenzyme, related to mitochondrial formation and dysfunction which worsen virtually all killer diseases of aging. It’s actually used as a biomarker of aging itself. But mitochondrial dysfunction can be reversed.

It means: pyrroloquinoline quinone - PQQ and protects mitochondria from oxidative damage. But it’s not the main purpose, having the potential to reverse cellular aging by activating genes that induce mitochondrial biogenesis (the spontaneous formation of new mitochondria in aging cells), protection and repair. The same result can also be achieved through very intense physical exercise in younger age, diminishing while growing old. The more mitochondria we possess, the better our body fight aging diseases.

It’s up to 5000 times more antioxidant than vitamin C, depending on our age and optimizes the function of the entire central nervous system (increasing the release of nerve growth factor).

Although a bit technical, it’s worth saying it prevents development of the alpha-synuclein protein and amyloid-beta protein in our brain, associated respectively to Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.

Should you decide to use this supplement, my personal hint is to take at least 20 mg per day, otherwise you’re wasting money. Possibly, but not necessarily, in combination with CoQ10 (I’ll talk about this one another time).
