  • PQQ is also known as pyrroloquinoline quinone or methoxatin. It is a type of quinone and has been classified as a B vitamin (Zhang et al., 2012). As a treatment, PQQ is a strong antioxidant and redox regulator, protecting mitochondria from oxidative stress and ROS (Guan et al., 2015). Research also has correlated the molecule with mitochondrial biogenesis and improved metabolism (Harris et al., 2013). However, PQQ can act as a prooxidant depending on the biological environment, such as the type of cell, and concentration (He et al., 2003). This duality provides PQQ with strong healing capacities, but several destructive consequences as well. In the brain, PQQ has been found to react with N-methyl D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs), which are known to receive the neurotransmitter glutamate. NMDARs are susceptible to glutamate toxicity, which can lead to a number of neurodegenerative diseases. PQQ can act as a regulating oxidizer for the receptor’s modulatory sites, providing neuroprotection (Aizenman et al., 1992). PQQ has several other potential mechanisms of treatment for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, Lewy body dementia, and traumatic brain injury (Zhang et al., 2012). PQQ is not synthesized endogenously by mammals, so humans receive all of their PQQ from dietary sources or supplementation (Akagawa et al., 2016).

    Is this channel dead? It would be a pity cause every video is a treat on this channel...

    So the lowest dose is 20mg! What are we supposed to do?

    I haven’t watched it yet, but I’m about to. But she starts off incorrectly pronouncing the supplement. That’s not a good sign.
