Key Benefits of CoQ10 + PQQ as a Pre-Workout Stack

1. 

Optimized Mitochondrial Energy Production

• CoQ10 plays a central role in the electron transport chain, helping convert nutrients into ATP—the cell’s main form of energy.  
• PQQ stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis, meaning it promotes the creation of new mitochondria—potentially increasing your cells’ overall energy-producing capacity.  
• Synergy: Together, CoQ10 ensures existing mitochondria run efficiently, while PQQ adds new ones, maximizing your energy production—perfect for sustained workout performance.  

2. 

Reduced Fatigue & Enhanced Endurance

• CoQ10 helps improve cellular metabolism and muscle endurance, delaying the onset of fatigue.  
• Adding PQQ supports endurance further by equipping your cells with both more mitochondria and greater efficiency overall.  

3. 

Powerful Antioxidant Protection

• Both supplements are potent antioxidants—but they operate in complementary ways and target different types of oxidative stress.  
• This combined antioxidant defense helps reduce oxidative damage during intense exercise, aiding recovery and performance.  

4. 

Improved Cognitive Focus & Mental Clarity

• Both CoQ10 and PQQ support brain health, with evidence suggesting benefits for memory, focus, and neuroprotection.  
• PQQ in particular is associated with enhancing learning and mental clarity, while CoQ10 helps maintain cognitive energy levels during exertion.  

5. 

Cardiovascular Support During Exercise

• CoQ10 supports heart muscle function, mitochondrial energy production, and healthy blood flow—crucial for sustained workouts.  
• Together, CoQ10 and PQQ help safeguard cardiovascular health under stress and support endurance.  

6. 

Long-Term Health and Anti-Aging Benefits

• The duo helps address mitochondrial decline, a known factor in aging and reduced exercise capacity.  
• Regular supplementation supports cellular resilience, recovery from oxidative stress, and overall vitality.  

Practical Pre-Workout Use Guide

• Recommended Timing: Take  ideally 30–60 minutes before a workout, to support immediate energy and focus.  
• Dosing:
  
  • CoQ10: Typically 100–200 mg (ubiquinol form—better absorption with fats).  
  • PQQ: Often taken at 10–20 mg per day.  
    
• Since CoQ10 is fat-soluble, taking it with a healthy-fat-containing meal improves absorption, but no need to with our product! We added a fat source with Vitamin E to enhance the absorption.  PQQ is water-soluble; thus, no special requirements.  
• Tolerance: Both are generally well-tolerated. Mild side effects can include gastrointestinal upset or headaches—usually transient.  
• Considerations: CoQ10 may interact with blood thinners; monitor blood pressure if it’s an issue.
