The main component of pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium salt is pyrroloquinoline quinone (Pyrroloquinoline quinone), referred to as PQQ, which is a new prosthetic group with similar physiological functions to vitamins and widely exists in prokaryotes, plants and mammals, such as Fermented soybeans or natto, green peppers, kiwi fruit, parsley, tea leaves, papaya, spinach, celery, breast milk, etc.
PQQ occurs naturally in soil and can be taken up by plants. It can be found in a variety of plants and animals, and is also produced by some bacteria in fermented foods and beverages. The content of parsley and green pepper in vegetables, kiwi fruit and papaya in fruits, green tea and oolong tea in drinks, and tofu are all about 30 ng/g, and the PQQ content in natto is relatively high, reaching 61 ng/g. PQQ exists in various tissues of the human body, is concentrated in breast milk (140 to 180 ng of PQQ in a milliliter of breast milk), and is an essential growth factor for development.
PQQ is the prosthetic group of many enzymes, which is responsible for the function of transferring electrons, protons and chemical groups in enzymatic reactions, and can also stimulate the growth of microorganisms, the germination of plant pollen, and promote the growth of plants.
The biological functions of PQQ are mainly concentrated in two aspects. First, it can support the growth and development of mitochondria and stimulate the rapid growth of human cells; second, it has good antioxidant properties, which can help scavenge free radicals and reduce cell damage. These two functions make it powerful in brain health, cardiovascular health, and metabolic health. Because the body cannot synthesize PQQ on its own, it can be supplemented through dietary supplements, usually in powder form, prepared by microbial fermentation.
The benefits of PQQ
1. Comprehensively improve human immune function
As an essential factor for human development, PQQ can stimulate the growth of human cells, especially activate human B cells and T cells to produce antibodies and improve the immune function of the human body. PQQ is the most potent biologically active substance discovered by humans so far.
2. Prevent liver damage
It can significantly reduce serum bilirubin and alanine aminotransferase levels, maintain normal liver function, regulate liver damage, and has excellent curative effect on liver diseases.
3. Reduce the damage of free radicals to the human body
PQQ is an oxidoreductase prosthetic group, which participates in the redox reaction in organisms, can effectively remove free radicals in the body, reduce the damage of free radicals to the human body, protect body tissues, and reduce various diseases caused by body damage, such as heart disease , cancer and various types of inflammation. Free radicals are the source of all diseases.
4. Treat various nervous system diseases
PQQ is a new type of water-soluble vitamin, which can promote the synthesis of nerve factors in the human body and regulate various nervous system diseases.
5. Promote the absorption of amino acids
PQQ is the prosthetic group of quinone protease, participates in the electron transfer of the respiratory chain, and can promote the absorption of amino acids through the action of glucose in the human body. Amino acids are the main raw materials for the composition of cell fluid and synthetic protein peptides, and are important components of all biologically active substances.
6. Promote the synthesis of growth factors.
Growth factor is the hormone of human growth, which stimulates the growth of organisms, stimulates the growth of human cells, increases cell density, and a small amount of PQQ can improve the metabolic capacity and growth function of biological tissues.
7. Prevent Alzheimer's disease
The special biological activity and physiological function of PQQ are also manifested in repairing nerve fibers, activating neurons, and activating dormant nerve cells, which can effectively prevent Alzheimer's disease and improve memory.
