Ingredients explained
Pyrroloquinoline quinone (as PQQ disodium salt)
PQQ participates in cellular redox reactions and is studied for supporting mitochondrial biogenesis and antioxidant defences, which may aid cellular energy processes.
Caution: May cause stimulation-like feelings in some; take earlier in the day if sensitive to energy supplements.
Alpha-lipoic acid
Alpha-lipoic acid functions as a cofactor in mitochondrial energy enzymes and can recycle other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E and glutathione.
Caution: May affect blood sugar; monitor if using glucose-lowering supplements or medicines.
How they work together
PQQ is studied for supporting the creation and protection of mitochondria, while alpha-lipoic acid supports mitochondrial enzyme activity and antioxidant recycling. Together they address both mitochondrial function and oxidative balance from complementary angles.

Mitochondria are the parts of the cell that produce energy. While all cells have them, the heart and brain are especially dense with mitochondria due to their high energy demands. Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ) is a B vitamin-like compound that helps to protect mitochondria from free radicals and promotes the production of new mitochondria within cells. PQQ may thus help to maintain robust cellular energy production, support heart health, and promote normal cognitive function. Extra Strength PQQ includes alpha-lipoic acid to complement PQQ's free radical scavenging abilities.
This extra strength product has twice the PQQ (40 mg per capsule) as in our regular strength product (20 mg per capsule).
