PQQ is a new cofactor, its scientific name is Pyrroloquinoline quinone. It is the third cofactor found in membrane bound bacterial dehydrogenase after flavin nucleotide (FMN, FAD) and nicotinamide nucleotide (MAD, NADP), and it is called the 14th vitamin by the world medical community. PQQ not only participates in the redox reaction in organism, but also has some special biological activities and physiological functions.
Although many foods contain PQQ, such as natto, tofu, kiwi and papaya, not everyone can eat these materials every day. Moreover, if you want to meet the intake, you must take a lot of these foods, which is not very realistic. The simplest and most convenient way is to select appropriate PQQ supplements. It should be noted that PQQ needs to cooperate with other essential nutrients to better play its role. Now, let's follow the small editor to see some representative PQQ supplements in foreign markets.
In addition to PQQ, each capsule contains 50 mg of resveratrol, which is equivalent to the amount of resveratrol contained in 25 bottles of red wine. In addition, alpha octane sulfuric acid (ALA) is also added. ALA is also a powerful antioxidant, which can eliminate oxidation free radicals.
Studies have shown that the ability of ALA to scavenge free radicals is no less than that of vitamin E and vitamin D. Moreover, ALA can promote the production of glutathione, which is the most important antioxidant in the human body. The company said that the process of energy generation by mitochondria is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it can provide energy for cells, and on the other hand, it can produce free radicals, which is often called reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS is one of the main factors leading to mitochondrial damage. Therefore, after PQQ promotes the generation of new mitochondria, it is necessary to reduce the oxidative pressure of other mitochondria and reduce damage.
Another component in PowerPQ is vitamin B12. Although vitamin B12 is not an antioxidant, it can help prevent cell DNA from being damaged by homocysteine and reduce cell inflammation. At the same time, vitamin B12 can help mitochondrial cells digest fat faster, protect myelin cells in the brain, and improve the cognitive level of the brain. One PowerPQ capsule contains 1000 mg of vitamin B12.
