Application & Function
Pyrroliquinoline quinone disodium salt (PQQ) is a redox active compound derived from pyrrolic quinoline quinone, which was first discovered in the 1970s as a cofactor for bacterial enzymes. PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) is an active substance with multiple biological functions, including strong antioxidant activity, promotion of mitochondrial function, neuroprotection, and anti-aging
1. Antioxidant: PQQ has strong antioxidant capacity, which can eliminate free radicals in the body and reduce oxidative stress damage to cells. Oxidative stress is an important cause of many chronic diseases and aging. PQQ helps to slow down the aging process and protect cells from oxidative damage by neutralizing free radicals. This antioxidant effect has a positive impact on cardiovascular health, skin health, and overall anti-aging.
2. Promote mitochondrial function: PQQ can promote the biosynthesis and function of mitochondria, which are the energy factories of cells. Their function directly affects the vitality and metabolism of cells. PQQ enhances the energy metabolism efficiency of cells by activating mitochondrial related genes and signaling pathways, which helps to improve fatigue and improve physical strength. This effect is particularly important for athletes and manual laborers.
3. Improve cognitive function: PQQ has significant benefits for brain health, promoting the growth and repair of nerve cells, and improving memory and learning abilities. Research has shown that PQQ can increase the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which contributes to neuroprotection. This effect is particularly beneficial for the elderly and those with cognitive decline.
4. Protecting nerve cells: PQQ has neuroprotective effects, which can reduce the damage and death of nerve cells, especially showing significant protective effects in ischemia-reperfusion injury and neurodegenerative diseases. PQQ helps prevent and treat neurodegenerative diseases by inhibiting inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress, reducing the degree of damage to nerve cells.
5. Enhance immunity: PQQ can regulate the function of the immune system and enhance the body's immunity. It enhances the body's resistance to pathogens by promoting the activation and proliferation of immune cells. This immune regulatory effect is particularly important for immunocompromised populations and chronic disease patients.
6. Improve sleep quality: PQQ prolongs deep sleep time by regulating the levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and gamma aminobutyric acid. Clinical trials have shown that continuous supplementation can improve sleep quality, but further research is needed to verify its therapeutic effect on insomnia.
7. Regulating sugar metabolism: Enhance insulin sensitivity and help maintain blood sugar balance.
