Life Extension Mitochondrial Basics with PQQ, 30 Vegetarian Capsules
UPC: 737870186939
Life Extension's Mitochondrial Basics with PQQ is a foundational supplement designed to support cellular energy production by promoting mitochondrial health. It combines three key ingredients: PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) disodium salt, R-lipoic acid, and L-taurine. The manufacturer notes that PQQ is an innovative micronutrient shown in research to trigger mitochondrial biogenesis—the growth of new mitochondria—in aging cells, while R-lipoic acid is used in a microencapsulated stabilized form for enhanced bioavailability compared to traditional alpha-lipoic acid.
This formula is positioned as a value-priced option for daily mitochondrial support, with the manufacturer citing over 40 years of science-backed supplement development. The product is gluten-free and non-GMO, and it comes in vegetarian capsules with a recommended dosage of one capsule once or twice daily without food. It is also available in a 30-count package, providing a 15- to 30-day supply based on usage.
