Today’s episode shines a light on a new supplement making its way into the fertility landscape. Pyrroloquinoline quinone, otherwise known as PQQ, is a redox cofactor that has been shown to stimulate the growth of new mitochondria, the cellular powerhouse where nutrients are turned into a form of energy cells can use. It is in essence, a very powerful antioxidant.  Whereas CoQ10 energizes the mitochondria, PQQ can actually help create NEW ones. This is major in reversing the effects of aging and oxidative stress. 

The development of sperm and egg cells is a highly complex and energy-dependent process that is supported by and requires a diverse array of micronutrients, which decline as we age and continue to consume poor-quality food. PQQ has been found to improve cell functions by stimulating growth, reducing oxidative stress (protecting cells from damage) as well as spontaneous generation of new mitochondria within aging cells.

You may know that a fertility-friendly diet, eliminating smoking, minimizing alcohol, reducing stress, and engaging in fertility-friendly exercise is very important whentrying to conceive, but we also know that fertility-specific supplements can be powerful allies in the fertility journey. Catered "nutraceuticals" can help you fill in nutritional gaps and provide other nutrients that are difficult to get through diet alone. 

Could this supplement be right for you? Tune in to get the scoop.

You’ll Learn: 

• Research supporting PQQ’s benefits in fertility outcomes 
• What PQQ is and how it can be supplemented
• The correlation between the mitochondria and sperm/egg quality
