Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What's the difference between PQQ Disodium Salt and PQQ Acid?
PQQ Disodium Salt is the water-soluble, stable form most commonly used in supplements. PQQ Acid is the free acid form, which is less water-soluble and less stable. Disodium Salt is preferred for most applications.
Q2: What is PQQ?
PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone) is a quinone redox cofactor found in soil bacteria, plants, and mammalian tissues. It is considered a mitochondrial biogenesis enhancer and is associated with cognitive and longevity positioning.
Q3: Can PQQ be combined with other ingredients?
PQQ is commonly combined with CoQ10, NAD precursors (NMN, NR), and Resveratrol in mitochondrial and longevity formulations. We recommend consulting with your formulation team.
Q4: What's the regulatory status in the EU?
PQQ disodium salt has been assessed under the EU novel food framework. Buyers should confirm the applicable status for their destination market, intended application and labelling, as requirements differ by region. Specific regulatory status depends on intended application and labeling.
Q5: How is PQQ content measured?
PQQ content is quantified via HPLC with UV detection per industry-standard methods.
Q6: What's the typical MOQ?
Standard MOQ is 100g. Smaller quantities (10-50g) are available for evaluation.
Q7: Do you offer custom specifications?
Yes. Custom specifications (e.g., specific form, particle size, packaging) can be discussed with our coordination team.
Q8: What documentation is available?
Standard documentation includes COA, MSDS, allergen statement, Non-GMO statement. Additional documentation available upon request from production partners.
