BOOST THE ENERGY IN YOUR CELLS TO DO EVERYTHING BETTER
If you’re looking for a way to upgrade your mitochondria and boost
your energy with zero crash, look no further than PQQ, or
pyrroloquinoline quinone, a supplement on the forefront of anti-aging
science. Anti-aging starts at the cellular level and PQQ is an easy way
to protect your cells, all while helping to improve the most
mitochondrial-dense parts of your body like your brain and heart.wisepoqder Antiaging Powder
PQQ is a micronutrient that acts as an antioxidant in your body,
protecting your cells (and specifically your mitochondria) from damaging
free radicals. Most of the research around it has to do with
mitochondrial density and function, which is why I found it so
fascinating when I started researching supplements years ago. The more
mitochondria you have and the better they function, the more energy and
longevity you can expect.
You can find PQQ naturally in many foods, but not in super high
amounts. It’s especially high in green tea, fermented soy (natto),
spinach parsely, and green peppers.[1] However, the more I learn about
PQQ supplementation, the more I suggest taking it in higher amounts than
you can find in a salad.
Mitochondria are the tiny organelles working to produce cellular
ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of your cells. All
the energy in your body – your movements, your breath, and your thoughts
– ultimately come from mitochondria. Mitochondria are in every cell in
your body, but mitochondrial density is greatest in the areas of your
body that require the most energy, like your brain and your heart.
That’s why a lot of the science around PQQ is for brain and heart
function. And it’s showing some really promising results.
Mitochondrial dysfunction, on the other hand, is one of the main
biomarkers of aging and disease. In fact, researchers can link
mitochondrial dysfunction with nearly every disease associated with
aging, from Alzheimer’s to heart failure. The good news is, you can make
your mitochondria stronger.
My own mitochondrial function has been a focus of biohacking for
years. A huge number of the things I do have a direct impact on how
mitochondria work. Things like ketosis, Brain Octane Oil, high-intensity
exercise, Bulletproof intermittent fasting, and avoiding the toxins
that make you weak all help strengthen your mitochondria and create new
ones.
If you find a way to improve your mitochondrial function, you’ll
make energy more efficiently. One of the most exciting ways I’ve found
of increasing mitochondrial function is the compound pyrroloquinoline
quinone.
