Description
Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a quinone molecule found in various foods and produced by some bacteria, and also available as a synthetic supplement. It is believed to promote mitochondrial biogenesis and act as an antioxidant, potentially offering benefits for energy production, cognitive function, neuroprotection, and cardiovascular health. While generally considered safe at recommended dosages (10-20mg daily), mild side effects such as headache, insomnia, or gastrointestinal distress have been reported. Research is ongoing to further elucidate its effects and optimal uses.
