Pyrroloquinoline quinone: From Stardust to Mitochondria

We've recently launched our mitochondrial support supplement which contains a compound known as Pyrroloquinoline quinone, otherwise known as PQQ. In this post we wanted to dive into what this compound is and its functions. PQQ is a small molecule that is found in plants, bacteria, and some animal tissues. It has a chemical structure similar to that of vitamins and is classified as a redox cofactor, which means that it can participate in chemical reactions that involve the transfer of electrons. PQQ has gained attention in recent years due to its potential health benefits, including its ability to act as an...
