Your mitochondria are the cellular energy generators that supply power to
energy-intensive organs like your heart, brain, and kidneys. As you age,
the number of functional mitochondria you have in your cells declines. And
that can dramatically impact your health and longevity. But there is a
solution. Taken daily, PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) can activate genes
that promote the formation of brand new mitochondria for more youthful
cellular energy production. So make PQQ Caps with BioPQQ® a part of your
daily regimen!
Benefits at a Glance
Supports the generation of new mitochondria (mitochondrial biogenesis)
Potent antioxidant
Supports heart health and cognitive function
Supports the defense of mitochondrial DNA
Works synergistically with CoQ1
Supports Mitochondrial Biogenesis
As you age, the number of functional mitochondria in your cells declines
precipitously, dramatically affecting health and longevity.1-7 Studies show
that the optimal dose of 20 mg of PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) activates
the genes that promote the formation of brand new mitochondria for more
youthful cellular function.

PQQ Preserves Mitochondrial Function
The enormous amount of energy generated within the mitochondria exposes
them to constant free radical activity. The resulting mitochondrial decay
is a hallmark of aging. PQQ protects and augments delicate mitochondrial
structures to promote youthful cellular function in three distinct ways:
Antioxidant power. Like CoQ10, PQQ is a highly potent antioxidant.8,9 Its
extraordinary molecular stability enables it to facilitate thousands of
biochemical reactions in the mitochondria without breaking down, for
maximum antioxidant and bioenergetic support.10
Favorably modulates gene expression. PQQ activates genes that promote the
formation of new mitochondria11 — and beneficially interacts with genes
directly involved in mitochondrial health. These same genes also support
healthy body weight, normal fat and sugar metabolism, and youthful cellular
proliferation.12
Mitochondrial defense. Mitochondria possess their own DNA, distinct from
the DNA contained in the nucleus. Unfortunately, compared to nuclear DNA,
mitochondrial DNA is relatively unprotected. PQQ's antioxidant potency and
favorable gene expression profile act to support mitochondrial defense.
PQQ is Essential for Whole-Body Support
PQQ is an essential nutrient, meaning that your body cannot make it on its
own. A growing body of research indicates that PQQ's unique nutritional
profile supports sleep quality,13 heart health, and cognitive function —
alone and in combination with CoQ10.14-18 This comes as no surprise, given
how much energy these vital organs need.
Research shows that PQQ supports heart cell function in the presence of
free radicals and promotes blood flow in the heart muscle.14,16 When taken
with CoQ10, PQQ has been shown to promote memory, attention, and cognition
in maturing individuals.
Life Extension uses a purified, highly potent form of PQQ from Japan that
is produced through a unique fermentation process. The result is BioPQQ®,
the highest quality PQQ available on the market today.
