PQQ jest jedyną obecnie substancją dostępną w formie suplementu diety, która w badaniach
przedklinicznych nie tylko chroniła mitochondria w komórkach przed uszkodzeniem
przez wolne rodniki, ale również aktywowała, poprzez wpływ na DNA/geny, produkcję
nowych mitochondriów i w ten sposób miała korzystny wpływ na wytwarzanie
energii przez komórkę.
Zdaniem wielu naukowców, ilość mitochondriów w komórkach oraz jakość
ich pracy, jest wyznacznikiem potencjalnej długości
życia oraz ryzyka zachorowania na przewlekłe choroby degeneracyjne.
PQQ jest kolejnym koenzymem (po Koenzymie Q10), który od zaledwie kilku lat
dostępny jest w formie suplementu diety.
O ile Ubichinol/Ubichinon (Koenzym Q10) jest niezbędny do prawidłowej pracy
mitochondriów i do właściwego wytwarzania energii z pożywienia, to PQQ również chroni te
niezwykle ważne organella komórkowe przed uszkodzeniem i może pomagać
w powstawaniu nowych mitochondriów.
Oba suplementy (PQQ i Koenzym Q10) najlepiej działają kiedy stosowane są razem.
