Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is regarded as a nonvitamin growth factor, impacting metabolism and gene expression.
Even though it is not a cofactor (i.e., helper molecule) in any biochemical reaction, it does seem important for continued growth and function.
PQQ is often referred to as a mitochondrial nutrient, meaning that it promotes the efficiency of mitochondrial function, making dietary fats and sugars more capable of converting into energy.
In addition to assisting the gut microbiome, the immune system, antioxidant defenses, and cognition, PQQ plays a role in promoting health.
With aging, it seems to play an especially important role in supporting healthy memory and cognition.
Soy, spinach, parsley, and kiwifruit are some of the best food sources.
