Anti-Aging Breakthrough
Wolfberries, (Lycium barbarum), have a centuries long reputation as an anti-aging food source. PQQ, (pyrroloquinoline quinone), found in Phoenix Tears wolfberries, far exceeds any other known natural source of this nutrient.
Scientists have identified mitochondrial dysfunction as a key factor in aging. Mitochondrial dysfunction and death are now clearly linked in the development of all killer diseases associated with aging. Recent research has documented that mitochondrial dysfunction can be reversed. PQQ not only protects mitochondria from oxidation damage, it also stimulates growth of new mitochondria. The number of mitochondria in body cells, including the brain, decreases with age. Scientists now believe that mitochondria numbers and function determine longevity. PQQ has emerged as the nutrient that can safely trigger mitochondria biogenesis.
A healthy diet can contribute small amounts of PQQ, with natto (fermented soybeans), green tea, green peppers and parsley as examples of foods with some PQQ. Research at present has not identified how much PQQ is needed to influence mitochondrial health. Nutrient analysis of Phoenix Tears wolfberries revealed a PQQ content of 17.9 mcg/g. When compared to natto, with a value of 61 ng/g, Phoenix Tears wolfberries have 17,900 ng/g of PQQ. A three ounce serving of Phoenix Tears wolfberries far exceeds the documented amount of PQQ needed for normal cell health and probably contributes to its reputation as an anti-aging food.
PQQ is becoming available as a supplement. PQQ levels in Phoenix Tears wolfberries are comparable to some supplements and the berries also contain a rich whole food source of many other nutrients. For the first time in scientific history, a natural compound called PQQ is available in Phoenix Tears wolfberries, with amounts sufficient to increase the functionality of existing mitochondria and also promoting the generation of new mitochondria inside aging cells.
