Mito PQQ + Rhodiola supports optimal mitochondrial mass and cellular levels1. Featuring pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a water-soluble compound that promotes mitochondrial health/biogenesis, and Rhodiola, an energy-supportive adaptogen. Mitochondrial biogenesis is essential for the promotion of healthy aging, optimal energy (ATP) production, and protection from free radical damage2. PQQ is an enzyme cofactor that encourages mitochondrial biogenesis via antioxidant, neuroprotective, and cardioprotective properties3. **
