Top 10 Best PQQ Supplements & Brands

Jarrow Formulas

Designed to promote the production of new mitochondrion i.e. biogenesis, the Jarrow Formulas’ PQQ comprises 30 soft gels. Each one of these gels is fortified with Co-Q10 (Ubiquinol) which is meant to add to the numerous health benefits of PQQ. This dynamic duo is good for your cognitive function as well as heart health.

As far as potency goes, the Jarrow Formula PQQ contains an incredible 20mg which falls well within the 10mg to 20mg recommended range for optimal brain health.

Other ingredients that form part of this supplement include medium chain triglycerides, rosemary extract, sunflower lecithin, ascorbyl palmitate, and mixed tocopherols. Yet another awesome attribute of this formulation from Jarrow is that it’s free from soybeans, gluten, wheat, peanuts, shellfish and the like.

Absorb Health

If you normally push yourself really hard to achieve different goals in life, a bottle of Absorb Health PQQ might be all you’ll ever need to achieve huge milestones. The benefits claimed by the manufacturer of this product are quite impressive. You’re looking at 30 highly potent capsules each one containing 20mg yet costing a measly 10 bucks – probably the cheapest price point on the markets.

Pyrroloquinoline Quinone is hailed for its ability to promote the production of new mitochondria. These are the organelles in your cells that are involved in energy production. Therefore, indirectly, PQQ is meant to boost your energy reserves and improve your ability to tolerate fatigue.

We liked the size of the Absorb Health PQQ capsules – at least they are much easier to swallow than Jarrow’s. Plus the product uses cellulose capsules which are vegan-friendly!

Pure Encapsulation

This product is formulated to achieve two main objectives i.e. to support mitochondrial health and antioxidant effects at the cellular level. As such, here you get more than just the energy and endurance boost typically found in other PQQ supplements. You also get the support you need to maintain a healthy nervous network and protect your cells to promote longevity.

Another unique benefit associated with PQQ from Pure Encapsulation is that it uses the patented MicroActive technology for sustained-release. This is meant to ensure that the product’s benefits are felt throughout the day and well beyond the 5-hour PQQ half-life window.

One thing we, however, don’t like about it is that it contains fillers like potato starch and cellulose. And although those are meant to be inactive ingredients, we think that they are unnecessary additions to a product otherwise marketed as “pure.”

Doctor’s Best

Doctor’s Best is one of the most trusted names in the manufacture and supply of nootropic supplements and it’s easy to see why. For starters, the product is free from additives, gluten and is also vegan-friendly. What’s more? The PQQ + BioPQQ is third-party tested meaning that you only get the pure stuff in your bottle.

One weird thing we, however, noticed about this product is that it comes in an extremely large bottle yet the capsules in it can easily fit into the cap alone. All in all, the pills seem to be top quality plus they are tiny and easy to swallow.

In our view, this highly bioavailable nootropic supplement is capable of enhancing the overall well-being of your nervous system. Plus considering its ingredients, it is a great product for the senior-citizens and indeed anyone who would like to slow down cognitive decline.

Bulletproof Unfair Advantage

Bulletproof is known for many awesome products – they have a good brand and their products are some of the most sought-after nowadays. But does the same reflect of their Pyrroloquinoline Quinone? Well, their Unfair Advantage PQQ has so far attracted mixed reactions.

First, we’d like to commend the company for its innovative packaging and product presentation skills. Two thumbs for that. A closer look at the ingredients included i.e. PQQ at 10mg, CoQ10 20mg, and Brain Octane oil at 300mg proves that this is a supplement meant to support every bit of your brain’s productivity needs.

On the flipside, though, the ampules have a weird, plastic-like taste. That’s in addition to the fact that the product goes for $1.90 per count – meaning it’s one of the most expensive PQQ supplements on retail currently.

The company seems to have had a good intention of coming up with a product that’s good looking, easy to use and of top-notch quality but so far, we think that more work needs to be done here.

Health Thru Nutrition

If your typical schedule involves facing hard tasks that require critical thinking, a 20mg PQQ formulation would be a perfect supplement to settle for. Indeed, Health Thru Nutrition seems to have a really good job of ensuring that you get the highest quality of PQQ available without any of the patented blend stuff noted on other competing products.

On top of that, it contains magnesium stearate which is a well-known ingredient for boosting absorption. So, all you need to do is take just 1 of these vegan-friendly pills and leave the PQQ to do its job. Of course, the effects aren’t always instant and subtle because the energy-boosting effects of P.Q.Q occur at the cellular level, not the CNS one.

Now Foods

Now has been producing and selling natural supplements since 1968 and so you can bet that they have quite some experience on this front. The family-owned company operates in-house labs which they use to ensure that the quality of their products is top-notch.

In addition to being rich in BioPQQ, this particular product is also fortified with L-carnitine HCL and Co-Q10. That alone makes it one of the most powerful supplements on this list. But if you’re after PQQ and nothing else, you might want to look elsewhere.

Nutricost

This is nothing but Pure PQQ 20mg. No other active ingredients are included on the list. What’s more? The product is a 3-rd party tested and made in a US facility that is GMP certified. Unfortunately, this isn’t the most bioavailable form of PQQ available – as such, it would be a good idea to stack it up with Co-Q10 or Ubiquinol for even more power.

Other than that, Nutricost has done a really good job in coming up with a product that’s not only affordable but healthy as well. Plus its ingredient list is simple and straight to the point!

Life Extension

Its name says it all, this is a product meant to rev up your cellular energy generators and in so doing also promote healthy aging. Remember that your mitochondrial function tends to reduce over time and that can dramatically impact your health.

But with 10mg of the noot per day, it’s possible to promote the renewal of your mitochondria and also awaken youthful energy. That’s precisely what this vegan-friendly product from Life Extension is meant to do.

Our only issue with it is that it contains 10mg Pyrroloquinoline Quinone which is less than the 20mg we’ve seen on other products in this list. And to make the matters worse, it doesn’t contain Bioperine or Magnesium Stearate which are both required for enhanced bioavailability.

Quality of Life

This is yet another one of the Made in USA PQQ supplements believed to be made in a cGMP facility. It’s generally a great product save for the fact that the pills are quite large and, therefore, a bit difficult to swallow. Fortunately, the product itself is odorless and doesn’t leave an after-taste in the mouth.

It may take a few days to feel its effects but once its impact takes over, it provides a steady supply of energy. That’s probably because it contains BioPQQ which is probably the highest bioavailable form of PQQ on the markets currently.
