Tiny organs inside your cells — mitochondria — work hard every day, turning the food you consume into energy. But with age, the number of mitochondria naturally declines.[1] A molecule found in your body called pyrroloquinoline quinone, or PQQ for short, has many benefits for your health, most notably boosting the production of mitochondria.

Referred to as an all-natural “fountain of youth,” PQQ’s ability to power up your mitochondria does a lot for your health and longevity.

When you have more mitochondria, it impacts your energy level, metabolism, and resilience to disease. PQQ also protects against oxidative stress with its super-antioxidant power — and may keep you feeling young for many years to come.

What Is PQQ?

Scientists first discovered pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) as a “coenzyme” in biochemical reactions in bacteria. But in the late 1990s, scientists found that PQQ plays a role in mammalian biochemistry, as well.

Scientists have found PQQ in interstellar dust, which means it’s as ancient as the stars — living organisms have been exposed to it and have likely used it in their bodies since the beginning of time.

PQQ is a unique nutrient that is essential for growth and development.[1] It acts as an antioxidant within your cells, counteracting free radical damage. PQQ also helps your cells communicate.
