Is PQQ better than vitamin C or CoQ10?

Jan 24，2024

Antioxidants protect cells from damage inflicted by harmful molecules called free radicals. Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ) is a highly potent antioxidant and is approximately 100 times more effective than Vitamin C at reducing these free radicals. A continuous supply of PQQ provides long-lasting protection and promotes the longevity of your heart, brain, liver, and other organs rich in mitochondria. Therefore, regarding antioxidant function, PQQ is more potent than Vitamin C.

Both PQQ and Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) are related to mitochondria. However, CoQ10 and PQQ are not the same. PQQ is a nootropic that supports memory, provides energy, protects the brain, and aids mitochondria by increasing their numbers. CoQ10 is an antioxidant that occurs naturally in the body. It is found in many foods and can be taken as a supplement. As with many neurochemical elements, the body’s natural production of CoQ10 declines with age. CoQ10 ensures the mitochondria you do have are functioning at their best. Hence, they support and enhance one another. They make each other better. Together, they provide a more significant benefit than if taken individually. There is a multiplier effect to combining these two powerful nootropics.
