Since becoming a new food raw material in early 2021, sodium hyaluronate has quickly become a popular functional raw material in China, setting off a wave of innovation in the food and beverage industry. A star in the field of brain health and anti-aging, PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone) has broader health effects.
1. PQQ + Coenzyme Q10 (Heart Health)
Both PQQ and CoQ10 are involved in the production of mitochondrial energy, and they can be used together to achieve better results. This combination is currently the most common combination of PQQ-related supplements. It is mainly used for heart health, energy supplementation and brain health. type of supplements. In this way, while the bioavailability of reduced coenzyme Q10 is higher, PQQ can synergistically promote mitochondrial growth.
2. PQQ+PS (brain health)
The mitochondria of nerve cells in the nervous system and brain degenerate over time. In addition to impairing memory and attention, mitochondrial degeneration has also been linked to diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Through mitochondrial regeneration, PQQ can help prevent or even reverse this damage. Some brain supplements with nootropic ingredients such as PQQ, Hericium erinaceus, PS, Bacopa, Vitamin B6, 9, 12, Phosphatidylserine, Rhodiola rosea, Pine Bark Extract to support better brain performance, Enhance memory.
3. PQQ+NMN (energy supplement)
PQQ and NMN are also a classic combination, both of which can promote mitochondrial energy supply and mitochondrial regeneration, and are often used in various supplements to delay aging and replenish cellular energy.
There are also PQQ supplements that combine PQQ, carnosine, R-lipoic acid, taurine, and more to boost cellular energy production.
4. PQQ+GABA (sleep health)
PQQ can relieve sleep disorders caused by anxiety by reducing the stress hormone cortisol, effectively reduce the time to fall asleep, and improve sleep quality. It can be used in combination with sleep aids such as melatonin, GABA, L-theanine, and valerian.
5. PQQ+collagen (oral beauty)
PQQ and Collagen, made into skin cell repair capsules, can help slow down skin aging, promote collagen production, and reduce pigmentation and wrinkles.
6. PQQ+ amino acids (reproductive health)
Some male fertility supplements incorporate PQQ, L-methionine, glutathione, KSM-66 Ashwagandha extract, lycopene, and multivitamins designed to increase sperm count and activity in men.
7. Hangover
PQQ can accelerate the metabolism of acetaldehyde (an intermediate product of alcohol metabolism) in rats. During the hangover process, PQQ transfers the electrons removed from ethanol to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10), and then ubiquinone is reduced to ubiquinol, thereby reducing the toxicity of acetaldehyde to the liver, and playing the role of hangover and liver protection. In addition, PQQ is combined with pueraria, turmeric, probiotics, yellow grass, mussel polysaccharide, grape leaf, corn oligopeptide, and aurantium, which can better play a role in health care.
8. Improve immunity
PQQ also supports immune function, and lack of PQQ may lead to immune dysfunction. In one study, PQQ supplementation increased the response of B and T cells (white blood cells that play a central role in the immune response) to mitogens (proteins that induce cell division, or mitosis). In addition, PQQ combined with vitamin C, zinc, vitamin D, probiotics, prebiotics, turmeric, elderberry, lactoferrin, ginseng and other ingredients can better enhance human immunity.
