Antioxidants
PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone)
Mitochondrial biogenesis activator and neuroprotective antioxidant.
What it is
PQQ is a redox cofactor that promotes mitochondrial biogenesis through PGC-1α activation. It protects mitochondria from oxidative damage.
How it works
Activates PGC-1α signaling to stimulate new mitochondria formation; acts as a potent antioxidant with high redox cycling capacity.
What the evidence says
Emerging evidence for mitochondrial biogenesis and cognitive support; human studies are limited but promising.
Safety Notes
- BioPQQ is the most studied branded form. Very well tolerated at recommended doses.
Timing With Other Supplements
- Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Synergistic pairing; both support mitochondrial function.
