Life Extension PQQ Caps provide 20mg of pyrroloquinoline quinone, a novel compound that is the only supplement shown to stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis — the creation of new mitochondria. PQQ also acts as a powerful antioxidant (5,000x more efficient than vitamin C in redox cycling) and supports nerve growth factor. The 20mg dose matches clinical research protocols. Often stacked with CoQ10 for comprehensive mitochondrial support.
