What is the purpose of PQQ?
As a new food ingredient, PQQ has been supported by a large amount of experimental data in optimizing mitochondrial function, improving brain cognition, supporting athletic ability, protecting the liver, and improving inflammation.
At present, the application and consumption market of PQQ is still concentrated in the European and American markets. In the direction of functional product development, in addition to the single PQQ ingredient, PQQ can be considered to be used in combination with multiple functional substances and nutrients. For example, PQQ can be combined with coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) to produce a synergistic effect and expand the development of more functional products.
Our company is also developing new formulas and new product forms, such as liposome encapsulation, to improve bioavailability.
In Japan, PQQ is approved as a dietary ingredient and its uses are widely used in supplements and functional foods.
In the United States, PQQ can be used as a dietary supplement ingredient, and PQQ products must comply with the FDA's supplement guidelines.
In the European Union, PQQ disodium salt has been authorized as a new food ingredient under Regulation (EU) 2017/2470.
Canada: It can be used as a dietary supplement and complies with the Natural Health Products Regulations of the Canadian Ministry of Health. Manufacturers should follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to ensure product quality and purity.
The effects of PQQ at different ages
1.In Young Adults
PQQ may improve energy metabolism and endurance in active individuals by supporting mitochondrial activity.
Cognitive Function:
Neuroprotection: Antioxidant qualities may protect neurons from oxidative stress, hence enhancing cognitive performance.
Stress Reduction: According to certain research, PQQ may lower biomarkers of inflammation and stress.
2.In Middle-Aged Adults
PQQ promotes nerve growth factor (NGF) synthesis, perhaps reducing age-related cognitive decline.
Mitochondrial Biogenesis: May accelerate the formation of new mitochondria, hence increasing cellular energy output.
Cardiovascular Support: Heart Health: Antioxidant actions can lessen oxidative stress on the cardiovascular system.
Metabolic effects:
Glucose Metabolism: Initial research suggests possible benefits in controlling blood sugar levels.
3. In Older Adults
PQQ's neuroprotective actions may decrease the progression of neurodegenerative illnesses, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, although further research is needed.
Enhanced Mitochondrial Function: May counteract age-related reduction in mitochondrial efficiency.
Immunosystem Support:
Antioxidant Activity: Improving the body's protection against oxidative damage can be especially advantageous in older persons.
Bone Health:
Osteogenesis Support: Some animal studies indicate that PQQ may enhance bone growth, perhaps aiding in osteoporosis prevention.
