PQQ 20mg

Pyrroloquinoline Quinone for Mitochondrial Biogenesis, Cellular Energy & Antioxidant Protection

Every cell in your body depends on mitochondria to generate the energy that keeps it functioning. As we age, the number of functional mitochondria in our cells declines, and with that decline comes reduced energy, slower cellular repair, and diminished resilience across organ systems. PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) is a novel micronutrient that addresses this at the source: it promotes the formation of new mitochondria while simultaneously protecting existing mitochondria from the oxidative stress that accelerates their decline. Life Extension's PQQ Caps delivers 20mg of PQQ per capsule, the dose used in research studies, in a clean, single-ingredient vegetarian formula.

How PQQ Supports Mitochondrial Health

PQQ works through three coordinated mechanisms to support mitochondrial function and cellular energy:

• Antioxidant protection: PQQ is a highly potent antioxidant with extraordinary molecular stability, enabling it to facilitate thousands of biochemical reactions within the mitochondria without breaking down. This sustained antioxidant capacity helps protect mitochondrial DNA and structure from the constant free radical activity generated by energy production
• Gene expression: PQQ activates genes that promote the formation of new mitochondria and beneficially interacts with genes directly involved in mitochondrial health, healthy weight maintenance, and normal fat and sugar metabolism
• Mitochondrial biogenesis: By promoting the growth of new, healthy mitochondria, PQQ supports sustained cellular energy production in energy-intensive organs including the heart, brain, and kidneys

Why This Formula

PQQ is an essential nutrient, meaning the body cannot synthesize it on its own and must obtain it through diet or supplementation. It is naturally present in foods including fermented soybeans, green tea, and human breast milk, but in amounts far too small to support the mitochondrial benefits seen in research. Supplementation at the 20mg dose used in studies provides a meaningful daily amount in a single vegetarian capsule with nothing unnecessary added.

Supports

• Mitochondrial biogenesis and the formation of new, healthy mitochondria
• Cellular energy production throughout the body
• Antioxidant defense within mitochondria and protection of mitochondrial DNA
• Heart and cognitive health through mitochondrial support
• Healthy cellular aging and whole-body vitality

How to Use

Take 1 capsule once daily with or without food, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Works synergistically with CoQ10 for comprehensive mitochondrial support.

Consult your healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, nursing, or managing a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.
