what is the magic of PQQ?

Flesh Chi is shaped like meat. Attached to the boulder, the head and tail have, is a living creature. The red one is like coral, the white one is like fat, the black one is like Ze lacquer, the green one is like green feathers, and the yellow one is like purple gold, all of which are as bright and clear as solid ice.” -Compendium of Materia Medica。

Flesh Ganoderma is between fungus, algae, and protozoa, at the dead center of species classification, at the fork in the road of biological evolution, capable of evolving into both animals (protozoa) and plants (fungi). If it is really the ancient books recorded in the taiwu, the four unlike but not yet extinct, it shows that this “dead end” has the existence of the reason. At present, Taiwu is still in the blind spot of evolutionary research, because its number is too small, basically it is found that one is going to be popular all over the country.

The medicinal value of ganoderma lucidum is based on its active ingredient pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ). Scientists theorize that PQQ was produced on the surface of minerals by cosmic rays and arrived on Earth billions of years ago along with many other molecules in the dust of comets, where they prompted nitrogen- and carbon-containing compounds to produce the genetic building blocks from which life may have arisen in the presence of water and other factors.

As the fist component of taiwan, and a witness to the origin of life, what is the magic of PQQ?

PQQ, full name 4,5-dihydro-4,5-dioxo-1-hydropyrrolo(2,3-f)quinoline-2,7,9-tricarboxylic acid, also known as pyrroloquinoline quineone (PQQ), is a nutrient element produced by Gram-negative bacteria, which has a wide range of nutritive effects on microorganisms, plants and animals and possesses antioxidant properties.

The only source of PQQ: microorganisms

The reason why Taiwu is rich in PQQ is because it is between plants and animals and symbiotic with many kinds of microorganisms, which is the only known natural source of PQQ, and different microorganisms have a secretion of PQQ ranging from 1 pg/mL to 1 mg/mL.

Supplementation of PQQ is feasible

PQQ can be detected in the internal organs, reproductive organs and body fluids of human body; in body fluids or secretions, the content of PQQ (and its derivatives) in breast milk can be as high as several dozens of times more than that in general food – the resource inclination is justified, and PQQ plays an important role in the growth and development of newborn babies.

Foods rich in PQQ are not surprisingly high in nutritional value: natto, parsley, green tea, oolong tea, kiwi fruit, etc.; small amounts of PQQ have also been detected in eggs and skim milk.

With more and more research on the health benefits of PQQ, the nanogram (ng) level of daily food is no longer sufficient to meet the demand, and food supplements have been developed. The first PQQ dietary supplement was approved in the United States in 2009. Since PQQ is rarely soluble in water, the supplement is composed of PQQ sodium salt (PQQ-2Na+), which has better solubility; in 2018, the European Union also approved PQQ-2Na+ as a health food for adults except for pregnant women and breastfeeding women.

In fact, as a novel ingredient, PQQ has been recognized for its positive effects on nutrition and health. Due to its powerful function, high safety and good stability, it has a broad development prospect in the field of functional foods.

In recent years, with deepening cognition, PQQ has achieved the most comprehensive efficacy certification and is widely used as a dietary supplement or food in the United States, Europe and other countries and regions. With the deepening of domestic consumer awareness, we believe that PQQ as a new food ingredient will create a new world in the domestic market.
