PQQ activates PGC-1alpha via CREB phosphorylation, directly stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis — the formation of new mitochondria. It acts as a redox cycling agent capable of thousands of catalytic oxidation-reduction cycles (compared to ~4 for vitamin C), providing exceptional antioxidant capacity. PQQ also modulates NMDA receptor signaling and promotes nerve growth factor (NGF) synthesis, supporting neuronal health and cognitive function.

Combination of bromelain, papain, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and pancreatin. Systemic enzyme therapy that degrades circulating immune complexes, reduces fibrin deposition, modulates cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha), and supports recovery from injury, surgery, and chronic inflammation.
