Pyrroloquinolinequinone (PQQ) 20mg by Osavi
These vegan capsules contain PQQ (pyrroloquinolinequinone), 20 mg per capsule. That is the maximum daily dose according to the EU approval of PQQ as a novel food. PQQ is a small quinone molecule that occurs naturally in small amounts in certain foods and in bacteria. For this supplement, the PQQ is made via microbial fermentation. With 60 capsules and one per day, one bottle lasts two months.
What PQQ is
PQQ stands for pyrroloquinolinequinone, a substance from the quinone group. In small amounts, it is found in fermented products, in some vegetables and in certain bacteria. The PQQ in this product is made via microbial fermentation with the bacterium Hyphomicrobium denitrificans, strain CK-275. That bacterium is not genetically modified. In short: it is a fermented raw material that is suitable for vegans, with a fixed amount of 20 mg per capsule.
The chemistry of PQQ
PQQ is a quinone, a molecule that can accept and donate electrons. PQQ dissolves well in water. Here we deliberately only describe what PQQ is and how it is chemically composed. There are no approved European health claims for PQQ. If you have questions about this product, please contact our customer service.
PQQ and co-enzyme Q10
PQQ and co-enzyme Q10 are often mentioned in the same breath, but they are two different molecules. PQQ is water-soluble, while co-enzyme Q10 is fat-soluble. They therefore differ in solubility and in chemical structure. Many people wonder if PQQ is the same as Q10; that is not the case. Some people use them together, others choose only one.
Clean formula and use
Osavi keeps the composition simple. In addition to the PQQ, there is only a filler (inulin) and a plant-based capsule, nothing else. The product is suitable for vegans and free from gluten, lactose, soy and GMOs. You take one capsule per day, after a meal with a glass of water. Preferably take the capsule during the day; taking it right before bedtime is not recommended. Swallow it whole and do not chew it. This way, with one capsule per day, you maintain a fixed, manageable intake of PQQ.
In short: 20 mg PQQ per capsule, made via microbial fermentation, in a clean vegan formula. One capsule per day, and with 60 capsules, one bottle lasts two months.
