"Brain Fertilizer" ENDS Senior Moments!?
Yesterday, I explained how aging mitochondria can trigger disturbing “senior moments.”
If you missed that issue, you might want to read it first. (CLICK HERE to catch up.)
You see, when your mitochondria become less efficient—or the production of NEW ones slows down— you end up with an overall energy shortage.
And in the brain, that can lead to brain fog, difficulty concentrating, and memory slips.
But, research has revealed a way to REVERSE age-related mitochondrial dysfunction.
There’s a natural, mind-boosting duo that restores youthful brain function.
PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) is a newly discovered vitamin-like compound. Studies show this powerful antioxidant offers excellent protection for your brain.
You likely haven’t heard of PQQ before. Heck, I know plenty of doctors who haven’t, either.
But this powerful nutrient will become a household name soon enough because it has a unique ability to help your body produce brand-new mitochondria.
First, PQQ is a stimulator of the PGC 1alpha, which triggers mitochondrial biogenesis.
Second, it increases cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB). This vital protein regulates the production of new mitochondria and increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is like fertilizer for the brain.
PQQ also helps protect existing mitochondria. A study conducted at the University of California at Davis found that PQQ is up to 5,000 times more efficient in sustaining mitochondrial energy production than other more well-known antioxidants.
PQQ can improve performance in…
- memory
- concentration
- mental alertness
It can ALSO boost blood flow in the area of the brain involved in problem-solving, memory, judgment, and more.
But for even MORE brain-boosting power, combine PQQ with Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). CoQ10 is well-known for supporting optimal mitochondrial FUNCTION.
In fact, the combination is so impressive that researchers say a daily dose of PQQ and CoQ10 could help reverse age-related cognitive decline.
PQQ naturally occurs in almost all foods but is especially concentrated in soybeans, green tea, green peppers, parsley, spinach, kiwi fruit, and field mustard.
You can also get PQQ and CoQ10 together in a supplement.
