Let’s explore “oxidative stress”

…nt for brain health because it helps protect the brain from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. The mitochondria produce these highly reactive chemicals when they burn fuel to create energy. Oxidative damage can lead to cell death and…

…o get through our days. PQQ helps protect mitochondria from oxidative stress, which can lead to brain damage. Oxidative stress occurs when oxygen molecules in the blood damage cells in the body, causing inflammation and eventually cell deat…

…athione is the first antioxidant it uses to protect against oxidative stress. PQQ helps the mitochondria to function more efficiently and have greater energy output, but with more output also comes more oxidative stress and damage. That i…
