Apollo’s Hegemony PQQ is a dietary supplement containing 20 mg of PQQ in the form of disodium pyrroloquinoline quinone in each capsule. The product was developed for adults who want to supplement their daily diet with this interesting vitamin-like compound in a precisely defined dose.
What is PQQ?
Pyrroloquinoline quinone, abbreviated as PQQ, is a naturally occurring compound with redox properties that is sometimes classified as a vitamin-like substance. However, it is not officially classified as a vitamin.
PQQ is found in small amounts in various foods. It can be found, among other things, in fermented natto soybeans, as well as in select fruits and vegetables such as kiwi, papaya, parsley, and spinach. Supplementation allows for the delivery of a precisely defined amount of PQQ, regardless of its variable content in the daily diet.
PQQ and Mitochondria—An Interesting Area of Research
PQQ has attracted the interest of scientists primarily due to its role in oxidation-reduction reactions and its connections to cellular metabolism.
Mitochondria—the cellular structures responsible for a significant portion of ATP production, the primary energy carrier used by cells—are a particularly interesting area of research. In experimental studies, PQQ has been analyzed, among other things, for its effect on signaling pathways related to mitochondrial function and biogenesis.
A Redox-Active Compound
One of the distinctive features of PQQ is its ability to participate in redox reactions. This means that its molecule can take part in processes involving electron transfer, which underlie many biochemical reactions occurring in living organisms.
It is precisely the unique chemical structure and properties of PQQ that have made this compound the subject of research on cellular metabolism, enzymes, and mitochondrial processes for many years.
Simple formulation and a plant-based capsule
The product’s formula has been limited to a small number of ingredients. Aside from PQQ, it contains only L-leucine and a coating made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC).
The plant-based capsule makes the product suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. It’s a practical choice for people who care not only about the amount of active ingredient but also about the simplicity of the entire formula.
PQQ in a convenient formula for daily supplementation
Apollo’s Hegemony PQQ is a single-ingredient supplement for those interested in pyrroloquinoline quinone and its role in cellular processes. Each capsule provides 20 mg of PQQ in the form of disodium salt, and the simple formula, vegetarian capsule, and 60 servings per package make it easy to incorporate this product into your daily supplementation routine.
