PENTAQQ™

PQQ is an innovative ingredient that stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis and supports neuroprotective and cardioprotective function.

PentaQQ™ is Evonik’s brand of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), which is also known as methoxatin. As the body does not synthesize PQQ itself, it must be consumed through diet, for example via fermented soybeans or green peppers. However, the content of PQQ in vegetables is very low.

As a key reduction-oxidation (redox) cofactor in human nutrition, PQQ binds protein within cells and acts as an antioxidant. PQQ is known for activating several signaling pathways in the mitochondrial biogenesis oxidative metabolism, stimulating cell growth and differentiation.

Many international studies suggest that PQQ has protective effect on different health areas:

• Mitochondria within human cells
• Neurons from oxidative damage
• Heart muscle after ischemic injury
