PQQ (PYRROLOQUINOLINE QUINONE)

PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone)is a compound that functions as a cofactor in several enzyme reactions in the body. It is known for its antioxidant properties and its role in promoting mitochondrial function. Here's why you need PQQ:

• Antioxidant activity: PQQ acts as an antioxidant, helping to neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells and contribute to oxidative stress, which is linked to various health issues, including aging and chronic diseases. PQQ's antioxidant activity helps protect cells from oxidative damage and supports overall cellular health.
• Mitochondrial support: PQQ plays a crucial role in mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of cells because they are responsible for producing energy (adenosine triphosphate or ATP) through cellular respiration. PQQ supports mitochondrial health and function, optimizing energy production and cellular metabolism.
• Neuroprotective effects: Some studies suggest that PQQ may have neuroprotective properties. It has been investigated for its potential role in promoting brain health, memory, and cognitive function. PQQ's ability to support mitochondrial function in brain cells may contribute to its neuroprotective effects.
• Anti-inflammatory benefits: PQQ has been studied for its anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce inflammation and support overall immune system health.

While the human body can synthesize small amounts of PQQ, it is considered a conditionally essential nutrient, meaning that under certain circumstances or specific health conditions, the body's natural production may not be sufficient. In such cases, obtaining PQQ through dietary sources or supplementation may be beneficial. Neuropathy, Cognitive issues, and generalproblems with the nervous system are such issues.

PQQ is naturally found in certain foods, including fermented soybeans (natto), kiwifruit, papaya, spinach, and green tea. However, the levels of PQQ in these foods are relatively low, and it is challenging to obtain sufficient amounts through diet alone. Hence it is included in the NeuroAID Ultraproprietary blend.

What are the medical contraindications for PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone) (as PQQ Disodium Salt)?

There are no well-documented medical contraindications for PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone) (as PQQ Disodium Salt), nor are there any reported adverse drug interactions associated with it. However, it's essential to note that scientific knowledge and research generally evolves over time.

Even though PQQ is considered safe and well-tolerated, individual responses to supplements can vary, and some people may experience adverse reactions or interactions with other medications. Therefore, seeking professional medical advice is crucial to ensure that PQQ supplementation is suitable for your specific health circumstances and to avoid any potential interactions or contraindications. Your healthcare provider will be able to review your medical history, current medications, and overall health status to provide personalized advice and recommendations.

It's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian. They can evaluate your specific circumstances, consider any underlying medical conditions or medications you may be taking, and provide personalized advice on dosage and potential risks. They will be able to guide you based on your individual health needs and ensure your safety.

Bear in mind that not all medical professionals are convinced of the benefits of nutritional supplementation, and we strongly recommend consultation with MDs who are also Naturopathic Practitioners, as well as Chiropractors and other medical professionals who are trained in the therapeutic uses and methodology of supplementation.
