Boost the Energy in your Cells with PQQ

What is PQQ ? Pyrroloquinoline quinone, is a " Cofactor " , which means that it helps enzymes accomplish their jobs . There are a class of these cofactor molecules that transfer electrons, which is important for our mitochondria to produce energy.

Your cellular energy comes from mitochondria, which are the power houses of the cell. Mitochondria are tiny organelles working to produce cellular ATP, adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of your cells.

Upgrading the energy in your cells through PQQ supplements is one of the most effective ways to improve your performance across all realms of life .

Mitochondria density is greatest in the areas of your body requiring the most energy, like your brain. These structures are constantly changing. Mitochondrial dynamics include fission and fusion, as well as destruction (mitophagy) and renewal, known as mitochondrial biogenesis .

You can make your existing mitochondria work better and you can even literally grow more "power plants " in your cells. If you find a way to improve your mitochondria function, you'll make energy more efficiently. One of the most exciting new ways of increasing mitochondria function is the compound PQQ.

The benefits of PQQ are :

* Increase mitochondria density to give you more energy

* Reduce inflammation

* Boost metabolism

* Combat oxidative stress

* Improve fertility

* Improve learning and memory

One study showed that deprivation of PQQ in rats and mice led to a decrease in mitochondrial density , which means a deficiency in PQQ may be responsible for low energy levels.

I bought some but afraid to try it. Genetics say stay away from quinines, quinones, fluoros, and I had a reaction to fluoroquinolone antibiotic 2 years ago. I think that's one of my problems getting well. It sounds great, but maybe not for everyone?
