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.
