Description
Pyrroloquinoline quinone (CAS 72909-34-3), widely known as PQQ, is a novel quinone compound that functions as a redox cofactor in some enzyme systems and exhibits powerful antioxidant activity. Although not classified as a vitamin, it’s considered a vital nutrient involved in cellular energy metabolism, particularly mitochondrial function. PQQ is highly sought after as a key ingredient in advanced dietary supplements and nutraceuticals aimed at supporting cognitive health, mitochondrial biogenesis, nerve health, and providing potent antioxidant protection. As a leading supplier, we offer high-purity PQQ for use in supplement manufacturing and research. Note: PQQ is often supplied as its more stable disodium salt (CAS 122628-50-6) for formulation purposes.
