n the evolving landscape of nutritional ingredients, pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) has emerged as a game- changing compound, known for its benefits in energy metabolism, cognitive health and cellular protection. However, not all PQQ sources are created equal. MGCPQQ, manufactured by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical and distributed in Europe exclusively by Mitsubishi Corporation Life Sciences Europe, is the only PQQ ingredient officially approved in the EU. This makes it an important solution for manufacturers, looking to integrate a safe and regulatory- compliant PQQ into their formulations.
Why MGCPQQ stands out While the benefits of PQQ are widely recognised, regulatory approval is a critical factor when selecting an ingredient for use in consumer products. MGCPQQ is the only PQQ source that has successfully passed stringent safety and regulatory evaluations in the EU. It is authorised as a novel food ingredient under EU regulations, ensuring that it meets the highest standards of quality, safety and efficacy.
This means that MGCPQQ is the only legally marketable PQQ for food supplements in the EU to date, making it
“Brands that incorporate MGCPQQ into their formulations can tap into multiple market segments, from active nutrition to healthy ageing, given the broad range it offers.”
What is PQQ – why is it important? PQQ is a powerful cofactor that plays a vital role in mitochondrial biogenesis. Given its ability to enhance cellular energy production, PQQ has been extensively studied for its potential in supporting brain function, cardiovascular health and overall vitality. Scientific research has demonstrated that PQQ supports cognitive function and memory by stimulating nerve growth factor (NGF) production, which enhances mitochondrial efficiency leading to improved energy metabolism. Besides, research showed that PQQ acts as an antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress and protecting cells from damage, and promotes cardiovascular health by improving blood circulation and endothelial function.

the go-to choice for brands that prioritise compliance and consumer trust. Other, non- approved sources of PQQ pose regulatory risks and could lead to compliance issues for product manufacturers.

As consumers increasingly seek transparency and reliability in their supplements, partnering with an approved, scientifically backed ingredient like MGCPQQ is a strategic decision for
brands looking to differentiate themselves in the marketplace.

This makes MGCPQQ not only the most thoroughly researched form of PQQ but also the most reliable and trusted for human consumption. The extensive scientific backing ensures that consumers and manufacturers alike can have full confidence in its effectiveness and safety.
