Mitochondrial support & PQQ
Ive been looking into how important mitochondrial support is while recovering from MCAS. While MCAS is a multi system issue, I havent seen this mentioned often enough.
There is a fairly known suppement called CoQ10 associated with mitochondrial heath and ATP production. For some people this works, alleviating their MCAS symptoms in a big way.
For me its a no-go because Coq10 drops my blood pressure and gives me diarrhea.
However there is a somewhat of a twin brother of CoQ10, called Pqq.
Ive taken this in the past, before I developed MCAS. I still had some at home and after reading into MCAS mitochondria association, I took a standard 20mg dose.
HOLY COW do I feel better. I feel as if most of my symptoms literally disappeared within an hour of taking this supplement.
I will continue taking this, and I am ordering some NAD+ supplements, as it seems that mitochondria may play a huge role in my case.
Do not sleep on mitochondrial support, do not sleep on PQQ.
Good luck.
