Mitochondria are cellular compartmentswhose main function is to convert energy from food and oxygen taken in by the body.
In young people mitochondria work well
Free radicals and other destructive forces over the years take a toll on mitochondrial health
Estimates show:individuals over 70 had50% more mitochondrial damage than individuals in their 30s and 40s
The consequences of damaged andmalfunctioning mitochondria are manifold
The main complaint is generalized fatigue
Reason: the less mitochondria are in the
cells,the less energy is available to the
body
Less energy to maintain and repair the body and to keep the immune system strong
This leaves it susceptible to➩ Diabetes➩ Heart Disease➩ Memory Loss➩ Other Health Problems
To extend the life and function of Mitochondria:
Increase the intake of Antioxidants!
The antioxidants most promising in protecting mitochondrial health are:
Acetyl-L-Carnitine
Alpha-Lipoic Acid
Ubiquinol (Coenzyme Q10)
Even better yet is to get the body to produce NEW mitochondria!
Here comes PQQ to the rescue!
PQQ is a very potent antioxidant
It is the prime defense againstmitochondrial degredation.
PQQ increases the number of mitochondria and their energy efficiency
Studies prove
Lack of Dietary PQQ in Animals Causes
stunted growth,weakened immune systemlower fertility,fewer mitochondria in their cells
A study in
The Journal of Nutrition, Feb. 2006,
Supplementation of PQQ in mice regrows mitochondria, even in severely damagedaged cells.
Consuming 10 to 20 mg a day of PQQ, combined with other anti-oxidants and a well-balanced diet may help generate new and support existing mitochondria.
