I recently started PQQ after this thread brought it to my attention @Gingergrrl (thanks!) - nothing at first, but after about seven or eight days there was a sudden jump in my cognitive function - memory much better, information processing improved, comprehension and recall all quite noticeably better. For the last few days it just seems to be getting better each day.

@Indigophoton I am still totally undecided if I am going to try this supplement in the future but glad I could indirectly help!

I recently got sucked into the new Bulletproof PQQ supplement. It's a liquid and supposedly better absorbed but I haven't tried it yet.

@Ema I was wondering if you have had a chance to try the Bulletproof PQQ yet and if so, what have you noticed from it? My main fear is if it causes any kind of tachycardia, insomnia, or agitation. I just bought a bunch of other supplements today and am seriously considering this one and since it is a liquid form, I could try an exceedingly tiny micro amount to start.

I haven't yet.

The vials are individually sealed. If you want me to mail you one to try, I'm happy to share.

@Tired of being sick Thank you and that is very kind of you but not sure if it is true! Although I do tend to ask a ton of questions about different supplements... or maybe just a lot of questions in general :D. Are you thinking about trying PQQ or one of the other ones I asked about?
