Will PQQ Become the Next "Hyaluronic Acid"?
Mar 30, 2022
Recently, pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium salt (PQQ) was approved as a new food ingredient, which is regarded by the industry as the next "sodium hyaluronate" due to its excellent effects on brain health, cardiovascular health and metabolic health.
PQQ was accepted as a new food ingredient on March 8, 2021, and was publicly consulted on August 17 of the same year, and was recently approved as a new food ingredient by China National Health Commission, which took less than a year, so you can obviously see that the approval department is speeding up.
The speed makes people think of the "road to fame" of sodium hyaluronate.
The company's main business is to promote the development of the company's products. From the declaration to the product explosion, just over a year.
So can PQQ recreate the glory of sodium hyaluronate?
The main component of pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium salt is pyrroloquinoline quinone, or PQQ for short, which is a new cofactor with similar physiological functions as vitamins and is widely found in prokaryotes, plants and mammals, such as fermented soybeans or natto, green peppers, kiwi, parsley, tea leaves, papaya, spinach, celery, breast milk, etc.
PQQ is a cofactor for many enzymes and is responsible for the transfer of electrons, protons and chemical groups in enzymatic reactions, as well as stimulating the growth of microorganisms, the germination of plant pollen and promoting plant growth.
The biological functions of PQQ are focused on two aspects: firstly, it supports the growth and development of mitochondria and stimulates rapid growth of human cells; secondly, it has good antioxidant properties that help to scavenge free radicals and reduce cell damage. These two functions make it powerful in brain health, cardiovascular health, and metabolic function health. Because the body cannot synthesize PQQ on its own, it can be supplemented through dietary supplements, which are usually in powder form and prepared through microbial fermentation.
Common PQQ supplement products on the market today also target brain health, sleep aid, energy supplementation, oral beauty, and pregnancy aid, and are often used in conjunction with various ingredients such as MNM, coenzyme Q10, ginkgo biloba extract, and PS.
