PQQ reduces heart damage effectively
We investigated the potential heart-protective qualities of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) in rat models of heart attack. In our experiments, PQQ was given before or during reperfusion after restricted blood flow to the heart, and we observed a notable reduction in infarct size.

Not only did PQQ lower the size of heart damage, but it also improved heart function and reduced harmful episodes of arrhythmia. In fact, the benefits increased with dosage, suggesting PQQ could be a significant ally in heart protection following a heart attack.

PQQ influences metabolism, unclear heart impact
We examined how pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) affects heart health and metabolism in rats. Our study found that when rats were given diets enriched with PQQ, there were notable improvements in energy expenditure and lipid profiles compared to those without PQQ.

We also observed that PQQ appeared to offer some protective benefits against heart injury due to lack of blood flow. However, when analyzing specific markers of heart damage, we did not find significant differences in the severity of heart injury between the two groups. Overall, while PQQ seems to support metabolic health, particularly in energy and fat processing, its direct impact on heart attack recovery isn't fully clear.

PQQ outperforms metoprolol in protection
We explored the impact of low-dose pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) alongside metoprolol on heart attack recovery. This research used a rat model with induced heart damage, simulating treatments that might occur in clinical settings.

Both metoprolol and PQQ were effective in reducing heart damage and improving function after the attack. However, PQQ showed greater success than metoprolol in protecting heart cells from damage caused by ischemia. We noted that PQQ alone significantly decreased harmful lipid oxidation during recovery.

Overall, while both treatments helped, PQQ emerged as the stronger option for heart protection.

PQQ promotes new mitochondria, ensuring healthy new cells. It's easy to use with just one small capsule a day. I've noticed a significant improvement in my quality of life; my energy levels have increased, and lethargy has disappeared. I love the product's effectiveness for heart health and cognitive functions.
