Since my 96 year old mother with dementia and aphasia move in with us 4 years ago, I have done many hours of research to find supplements that would either improve her condition or help to reduce the progression of the dementia. BioPQQ is one of the supplements that we are using for her, and I believe that this supplement has been beneficial for her. BioPQQ, like CoQ10, is a micro-nutrient whose antioxidant capacity provides extraordinary defense against mitochondrial decay. Not only does it protect mitochondria from oxidative damage, but it also stimulates growth of fresh mitochondria. In my research, I have found the following benefits provided by BioPQQ. • Classified as an “essential micronutrient” because it is found in all plant species but neither humans nor the bacteria that colonize the human digestive tract have the ability to synthesize it. • Studies have shown PQQ to be a potent growth factor in plants, bacteria, and higher organisms. Without PQQ animals have few mitochondria in their tissue, resulting in stunted growth, compromised immunity, etc. • Introduction of PQQ back into the diet reversed these effects, restoring systemic function while simultaneously increasing mitochondrial number and energetic efficiency. • PQQs’ free radical-scavenging capacity furnished the mitochondria with superior antioxidant protection. • Is effective in combating degenerative disease and age-related declines in the heart and brain. • Has been show to optimize health and function of the entire central nervous system. • Reverses cognitive impairment caused by chronic oxidative stress in pre-clinical models, improving performance on memory tests. • PQQ has been shown to induce mitochondrial biogenesis – the growth of new mitochondria in aging cells • While CoQ10 optimizes mitochondrial function, PQQ activates genes that govern mitochondrial reproduction, protection, and repair. • Given immediately before induction of stroke in animal models, PQQ significantly reduces the size of the damaged brain area. • Published studies show that 20 mg of PQQ plus 300 mg of CoQ10 may reverse age related cognitive decline in aging humans. As is evident in the above benefits, BioPQQ can be very beneficial to an aging adult by promoting the growth of mitochondria, and that taking 20 mg of PQQ plus 300 mg of CoQ10 may reverse age related cognitive decline. One of the problems causing dementia is that the brain's ability to produce necessary antioxidants that protect brain cells is reduces. The causes the formation of plaque in the brain that gradually destroys and kills cells in the brain. I believe that this is one of the supplements that has helped to reduce my mother's cognitive decline. Although some of the supplements can help with cognitive decline and dementia, many of them work better when used in conjunction with other supplements. There really isn't one "miracle" supplement that can do it all. In addition to supplements, diet is also very important for general health and the reduction of cognitive decline. When my mother came to live with us, she was on 10 medications for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, water retention, etc. Within 6 months, she was off all meds and remains healthy and med-free to this point. In the time she has been here, she has experienced many improvement both physically and mentally. As for this specific supplement, it is one that I believe is of very high quality and one that I trust. Many supplements contain a lot of fillers that do nothing for you. We use a few of the Doctor's Best supplements, and I have found them to be among the highest in quality and effectiveness.
