OUR FORMULATION PHILOSOPHY Have you ever wondered if the supplements you purchase actually work? With so many brands making so many promises, it’s hard to know whom to trust. Humans differ from animals in anatomy, physiology, and metabolism. Consider these examples: At Quality of Life, we don’t ask you to take our supplements on faith. Faith is irrelevant when you have research. • Tylenol® is great for relieving your headache, but it’s toxic to cats. As a company committed to developing evidence-based products, Quality of Life is the only company in the nutritional supplement industry that can make this guarantee: • Penicillin will help clear up your ear infection, but it will kill a guinea pig. Every single ingredient in every one of our products is backed by human studies, and delivered in dosages consistent with clinical research. • Chocolate is delicious to you, but poisonous to dogs. When you choose Quality of Life, you can trust your supplements to work, because 100 percent of the ingredients in every product we manufacture are backed by human clinical studies. No exceptions. No compromises. Why Human Studies? Currently, nine out of ten experimental drugs fail in clinical studies because we cannot accurately predict how they will behave in people based on laboratory and animal studies.” Mike Leavitt, U.S. Secretary of Health & Human Services While test tube and animal studies may help identify promising ingredients worthy of further study, human clinical studies are widely considered the gold standard of scientific research. Why? It’s simply not possibly to make foolproof predictions about how any given substance will function in the human body from test tube or animal studies alone. 914.251.0981 • www.QualityOfLife.net • [email protected] Why Do Dosages Matter? Everyone knows blueberries are a healthy food. Multiple human clinical studies, using about 1 cup per day (about 200 berries), have proven this fact. But what if, in the hopes of getting healthier, you decided to eat a single blueberry a day? Common sense says that eating just one berry daily is unlikely to “keep the doctor away.” This is consistent with an accepted principle of both conventional and integrative medicine: Dosages matter. Many natural compounds have been shown to be effective at specific threshold doses, yet have little or no impact at lower ones. Just because eating a daily cup of blueberries is beneficial does not mean that eating one berry a day will have any effect. Unfortunately, it is common practice in the nutritional supplement industry to use dosages of ingredients that are lower than those supported by clinical research. When you choose Quality of Life, you can trust your supplements to work, because 100 percent of the ingredients in every product we manufacture are provided in dosages that match the clinical research.

But if you’ve shopped for a blood pressure supplement recently, you might wonder how to choose wisely. After all, product after product claims to be effective for blood pressure maintenance. It can leave you wondering: Where’s the proof? Look no further. The fermented milk tripeptides contained in AmealPeptide, the active ingredient in Ameal BP, have proven their efficacy time and time again. § Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Ameal BP§ Ameal BP® 1.8–4.26 mg VPP + IPP 3.4 mg VPP + IPP Serving size: 1 capsule • Daily dose: 1 capsule Ameal BP Benefits: About Ameal Peptide •Helps maintain blood pressure already within a healthy range, including both systolic and diastolic blood pressure* AmealPeptide, featured in AmealBP, is manufactured from milk protein using a proprietary fermentation process that releases two tripeptides (or small proteins) called VPP and IPP. These tripeptides inhibit an enzyme that plays an important role in regulating blood pressure, thus promo-ting normal circulation.* Several published human clinical studies have shown that VPP + IPP help maintain blood pressure levels already within healthy limits.* •Supports arterial flexibility, enhancing blood circulation throughout the body* •Safe and nonallergenic, with an undetectable level of lactose (under .05%), making it appropriate for people who are lactose intolerant 3 Supplement Facts Serving Size: 1 capsule Servings Per Container: 30 Amount Per Serving % Daily Value AmealPeptide® proprietary blend 3.4 mg † Valyl-Prolyl-Proline (VPP) Isoleucyl-Prolyl-Proline (IPP) † Daily value not established.

BONE HEALTH* Triple-Action 327.B.060.200 Bonecal™ Build Your Bones with Triple-Action Bonecal.* Just because you take a calcium supplement doesn’t mean it will end up in your bones. Calcium absorption is a complex physiological process that requires other nutrients to help the calcium reach its destination and to be utilized once it arrives. Triple-Action Bonecal features DimaCal® dicalcium malate (a highly bioavailable form of calcium) plus carefully selected ingredients that help with calcium absorption and deposition, so you can get the full benefits of this important mineral.* § Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Bonecal§ DimaCal® (dicalcium malate) 800 mg–1.2 g 500 mg (equivalent to 800 mg of calcium carbonate) Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 400–1,000 IU 1,000 IU Vitamin K2 (as VitaMK7®) 90–500 mcg 90 mcg Magnesium (magnesium glycinate) 250–750 mg 250 mg (equivalent to 500 mg of magnesium oxide) MBP® 40 mg 40 mg Serving size: 2 tablets • Daily dose: 4 tablets BoneCal Benefits: About MBP •Promotes calcium absorption* With dicalcium malate, one of the bestabsorbed forms of calcium, plus its conutrients, magnesium, and vitamin D. Even if your body absorbs calcium, it still needs a way to attach it to your bones. That’s where MBP comes in. A component of whey, MBP helps creates collagen, a protein that allows calcium to “stick” to the framework of existing bone and holds it there.* In addition, MBP keeps excess calcium and collagen from dissolving out of the bones.* The result is enhanced bone mineralization and stronger bones.* •Shuttles calcium to the bones* And out of the arteries, with vitamin K2. •Helps calcium attach to the bones* With milk basic protein (MBP®).

While most sports nutrition products focus on refueling with carbohydrates or replenishing lost electrolytes, Branched Chain Oligonol (BCO) addresses fatigue and recovery head-on by targeting them where they start — in your muscles.* Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) prevent muscle soreness by repairing the tiny tears muscles sustain during a workout. Meanwhile, Oligonol®, an easily absorbable low-molecular-weight polyphenol from lychee fruit, enhances circulation to increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your muscles, letting them and you work harder.* Best of all, BCO is sweetened with stevia, a natural and noncaloric sweetener, and has a delicious Raspberry Lemonade natural flavor. Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies BCAAs 1 g–5 g 5g 100–200 mg 100 mg (equivalent to 200 mg when dissolved in liquid) Oligonol § Daily Dose Used in BCO§ Serving size: 2 teaspoons • Daily dose: 2 teaspoons BCO Benefits: About Oligonol •Reduces exercise fatigue: Oligonol has been shown to reduce the perception of exertion during track-and-field exercises.* Oligonol is a low-molecular-weight polyphenol derived from the antioxidantrich lychee fruit and green tea. While most flavonoids are too large for the body to easily absorb, Oligonol was specially created for easy absorption. Human clinical research shows it is absorbed at three times the rate of other lychee fruit extracts and effectively increases circulation and decreases fatigue.* •Improves post-exercise recovery: BCAAs repair micro-tears in muscles that cause soreness and prevent loss of lean body mass. •Enhances circulation: Oligonol increases nitric oxide production, relaxing the blood vessels to increase delivery of nutrients and oxygen to hardworking muscles.* Supplement Facts Serving Size: 1 teaspoon (4.56 g) Servings Per Container: 30 Amount Per Serving % Daily Value Total Carbohydrates 1 g <1%* 1 g <1%* Dietary Fiber Branched Chain Amino Acids (2:1:1 ratio) 5000 mg † (L-Leucine, L-Valine, L-Isoleucine) Oligonol® proprietary blend 100 mg † Low-molecular-weight polyphenol (fromlychee fruit extract and green tea leaf extract) Stevia 100 mg † Stevia rebaudiana (leaf) * Percent daily values are based on a 2,000-calorie diet. † Daily value not established.

They cause your blood sugar to spike and fall again just as quickly, leaving you tired and craving more carbs. That’s not good, because if you consume more carbs than you need, the excess is stored as fat. Carboquel helps you break out of this cycle. When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, Carboquel helps you take control of carbs in two ways: right now, by blocking the absorption of carbs, and in the future, by helping prevent future carb cravings.* § Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Carboquel§ Phase 2® 445 mg–1.5 g 1.5 g Chromium (as ChromeMate®) 300–400 mcg 400 mcg Serving size: 2 vegicaps • Daily dose: 2 vegicaps Carboquel Benefits: About Phase 2 •Reduces calories from starchy carbs* With Phase 2 white bean extract Phase 2 is an all-natural, nonstimulant extract of white beans that blocks starchy carbs from being broken down and absorbed by your body.* •Helps prevent cravings for carbs* With ChromeMate®, a highly absorbable form of chromium •May assist in weight control* By controlling carbs now and in the future* In a recent human study, 11 subjects ate a snack of bread and margarine.

In addition to eating right and exercising, supplementation with nutrients and botanicals is a smart way to give yourself “heart insurance.” The problem is, most supplements focus on just one aspect of heart health, such as blood pressure or cholesterol. But for ultimate heart protection, you need a product that addresses the full range of factors affecting cardiovascular well-being. Multi-Action CardioChol works in 4 ways to support your heart and vascular system.* Ingredient § Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in CardioChol§ Plant sterols 2g 2g Arjuna bark 500 mg–1.5 g 500 mg MicroActive® CoQ10 120 mg of crystalline CoQ10 160 mg of MicroActive CoQ10 complex (with 40 mg of triple-absorption CoQ10) MicroActive® Resveratrol 20 mg 20 mg Serving size: 2 vegicaps • Daily dose: 4 vegicaps CardioChol Benefits: About MicroActive® Technology Supplement Facts •Helps maintain blood pressure levels already within normal range With MicroActive® CoQ10*, which is 3x better absorbed than regular CoQ10.

However, excess blood clotting can cause your blood to become too thick, or viscous — making it difficult for oxygen and nutrients to get to your organs. In fact, the viscosity of your blood is directly related to your blood pressure, circulation, and overall cardiovascular health. Discovered in 1980 by the Japanese researcher Dr. Hiroyuki Sumi, nattokinase is an enzyme that has excellent fibrinolytic (or clot-dissolving) activity. Now there’s a new, improved form of the enzyme developed by Dr. Sumi himself: strain “N” nattokinase, featured in Cardionase. § Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Cardionase§ Nattokinase strain “N” 100–300 mg 100–300 mg Serving size: 1 softgel • Daily dose: 1–3 softgels Cardionase Benefits: Why the Strain Matters •Supports healthy blood clotting* Nattokinase can be manufactured using one of three different strains of microbes: the Naruse, Miyagino, and Takahashi strains. •Promotes healthy whole-blood viscosity, or the thickness of blood* •May improve overall circulation* •Keeps blood cells from sticking together* •Maintains blood pressure levels already within normal range* 9 Dr. Sumi’s research has shown that the Naruse (or N) strain — featured in Cardionase — is the most active, with 20 percent better efficacy and 10 percent better lymphatic absorption than regular nattokinase.

Unfortunately, the older you get, the more forgetful you may become. That’s because starting in your twenties, you begin to lose brain cells, a few at a time. As your body ages, it also make less of the chemicals your brain needs to work. Derived from a unique, specially cultivated subspecies of angelica, the lead ingredient in Cogni-Q (INM®-176) has been clinically documented to protect the brain during aging.* § Ingredient Daily Dose Use in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Cogni-Q§ INM-176 800 mg 800 mg Serving size: 2 vegicaps • Daily dose: 4 vegicaps Cogni•Q Benefits: About INM-176 •Improves cognitive function and reduces age-related mild memory decline.* INM-176 was shown to support cognitive agility in 80 volunteers with mild memory problems associated with aging.* Developed at one of South Korea’s leading universities, INM-176 is derived from a unique, specially cultivated subspecies of angelica known as Angelica gigas Nakai.

HEALTHY AGING* 30 or 60 vegicaps CoQ10-SR® 314.E.030.100 The CoQ10 You’re 100% Guaranteed to Absorb. It’s a well-known fact that across the board, human beings have difficulty absorbing regular (or crystalline) CoQ10. That’s why more bioavailable (or absorbable) forms of this nutrient have been developed. However, bioavailability varies drastically from person to person. Research shows some people are good absorbers of products with “improved bioavailability” CoQ10. Yet others are poor absorbers, and barely absorb any “improved bioavailability” CoQ10 at all. CoQ10-SR with patented MicroActive® CoQ10 is the only form of CoQ10 clinically shown to enhance CoQ10 absorption across all users. § Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in CoQ10-SR§ Coenzyme Q10 30–300 mg crystalline CoQ10 60 mg MicroActive® CoQ10 plus 40 mg crystalline CoQ10 (providing the equivalent of 220 mg of crystalline CoQ10) Serving size: 1 vegicap • Daily dose: 1 vegicap CoQ10-SR Benefits: About CoQ10-SR •Provides universal absorption in 100% of users Through a breakthrough, patented technology, CoQ10-SR with MicroActive CoQ10 solves the problem of CoQ10 malabsorption. Each molecule of fatsoluble CoQ10 is bonded with a molecule of water-soluble cyclodextrin (a natural derivative of starch). •3x better absorbed than regular (crystalline) CoQ10 •2x better absorbed than solubilized (“improved bioavailability”) CoQ10 softgels •Doubles CoQ10 levels in three weeks among 100 percent of people •Delivers sustained release over 24 hours and needs to be taken only once a day Because water-soluble molecules have an easier time moving through the digestive system than fat-soluble ones, the cyclodextrin improves CoQ10’s transport to the small intestines. There, it is released and absorbed.

Curcumin, the active constituent of turmeric, is one of the most promising ingredients for promoting a healthy inflammation response.* While short-term inflammation is a normal part of immune response, long-term inflammation may increase oxidative stress and contribute to the aging process. Unfortunately, curcumin is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb and retain. It’s fat-soluble, so it doesn’t move easily through the watery environment of the digestive system. To make matters worse, what little curcumin is absorbed is quickly excreted. Curcumin-SR features MicroActive® Curcumin complex, which delivers curcumin in a special micronized, sustained-release matrix to increase absorption and bioavailability. § Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Curcumin-SR§ Curcumin 300 mg–2 g regular curcumin 125 mg MicroActive® Curcumin (providing the equivalent of 1 g of regular curcumin) Serving size: 1 vegicap • Daily dose: 1 vegicap Curcumin Benefits: About Curcumin-SR •Delivers sustained release over 12 hours: Released slowly over time so blood levels stay consistently elevated MicroActive technology micronizes and encapsulates the active ingredient in a tailor-made matrix to increase its bioavailability. For fat-soluble ingredients, a custom matrix is developed to allow for quicker transit through the digestive system, so you don’t have to wait hours to absorb them. For water-soluble ingredients, a custom matrix is developed to allow for slower transit, so they can continue to be absorbed hours after they’ve been ingested. The result is a sustained-release product that works now — and later! •Is absorbed faster Elevates blood levels more quickly than regular curcumin •Has 10x greater bioavailability than regular curcumin A special matrix keeps the curcumin from being rapidly excreted 15 Supplement Facts Serving Size: 1 vegicap Servings Per Container: 60 Amount Per Serving % Daily Value Curcumin as MicroActive® Curcumin-SR™ 125 mg † (sustained-release complex) Turmeric root extract (Curcuma longa) † Daily value not established.

Deodorex contains a patented, proprietary extract from the edible champignon mushroom called Champex®. Deodorex works from the inside out to effectively reduce body odors where they originate, by decreasing levels of these toxic chemicals in the intestines and blood.* § Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Deodorex§ Champex® 200 mg–1.5 g 400 mg Serving size: 2 vegicaps • Daily dose: 2 vegicaps Deodorex Benefits: How Deodorex Works •Decreases body odors.* A human study found Champex decreased body odors — including ammonia, indole, phenol, skatole, and sulfides — by 40–60%.* Deodorex decreases levels of toxic, odorcausing chemicals in the intestines and blood.* How? •Fights bad breath.* In a study of female college students, nearly two-thirds of subjects reported that Champex was effective in eliminating garlic breath.* •Purifies the blood.* Yet another study found that Champex reduced average levels of ammonia in the blood by 52%.* •Amino acids in Deodorex neutralize unpleasant odors caused by ammonia & amines.* •Polyphenols in Deodorex bond to mercaptans & amines to form odorless chemicals.* Supplement Facts Serving Size: 2 vegicaps Servings Per Container: 30 Amount Per Serving % Daily Value Champex 400 mg † Concentrated champignon extract (Agaricus bisporus), dextrin, and DL-malic acid † Daily value not established.

One key factor to consider is your metabolic rate, or the rate at which your body burns calories while at rest. Metabolic rate declines with age, and this alone can account for a little bit of weight gain every year. If your metabolic rate is working against you, even your best efforts to shed those extra pounds may be thwarted. Fucoxanthin MD contains two clinically tested ingredients that increase thermogenesis — a rise in heat in the body that increases calorie burn.* By increasing metabolic rate, Fucoxanthin MD promotes weight loss and reduces body fat.* § Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Fucoxanthin MD§ Xanthigen® brown marine algae (Undaria pinnatifida extract) and pomegranate seed oil (Punica granatum) 600 mg 600 mg GreenSelect™ Phytosome™ green tea extract (standardized to contain 180 mg polyphenols and 120 mg EGCG) 300 mg 300 mg Serving size: 1 liquid vegicap • Daily dose: 2 liquid vegicaps Fucoxanthin MD Benefits: •Increases metabolic rate* Xanthigen + GreenSelect Phytosome •Promotes weight loss* Xanthigen + GreenSelect Phytosome •Reduces body fat* Xanthigen 17 About Xanthigen and GreenSelect Phytosome Xanthigen is a patent-pending ingredient made from brown seaweed extract (delivering fucoxanthin) and pomegranate seed oil extract.

But you’d probably trade the emotional and physical chaos that PMS brings into your life in a heartbeat. While there are many natural supplements that claim to provide relief from the mood swings, breast tenderness, and bloating of PMS, very few are supported by evidence from human clinical trials. One exception is Neptune Krill Oil. Derived from Antarctic krill — tiny icedwelling crustaceans — Neptune Krill Oil provides a unique combination of omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, and antioxidants that work together to support hormonal balance and relieve the physical and emotional discomforts of PMS.* § Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Neptune Krill Oil§ Neptune Krill Oil 300 mg–3 g 500 mg Serving size: 1 softgel • Daily dose: 1–2 softgels Krill Oil Benefits: About NKO® •PMS relief: Clinically shown to work better than fish oil for the complete management of PMS.* NKO is the only krill oil clinically shown — in a randomized, double-blind, placebocontrolled trial — to alleviate the emotional and physical discomforts of both PMS and menopause.* •Body-ready form: Provides a direct source of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA & DHA, unlike plant oils such as flax. •Better absorbed: Contains EPA & DHA bonded to phospholipids, with at least 150 percent better absorption than fish oil.

However, because fish oil has a greater concentration of omega-3s than krill oil, it is easier to achieve leading experts’ recommendation of 500 mg of EPA/DHA daily through fish oil supplementation. Krill Oil MD is the perfect solution to this dilemma. By enhancing krill oil with fish oil and astaxanthin, it provides the superior bioavailability of krill oil, the high omega-3 concentration of fish oil, and the added antioxidant protection of extra astaxanthin. § Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies§§ Daily Dose Used in Krill Oil MD§ EPA/DHA 200 mg–6.6 g 500 mg Astaxanthin 2–40 mg 2 mg Serving size: 2 softgels • Daily dose: 2 softgels §§ The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA ,similar to the U.S. FDA) has noted that supplemental intake of EPA/DHA at levels above 2–6 g per day can raise LDL (bad) cholesterol; therefore, it is not advisable to supplement with the upper dose used in human studies. The EFSA recommends adults supplement with 250–500 mg of EPA/DHA per day. Krill Oil Benefits: About Krill Oil Supplement Facts •Superior bioavailability of krill oil: Provides EPA/DHA as highly bioavailable phospholipids from krill oil, and as triglycerides from fish oil. The krill oil featured in Krill Oil MD has been extracted through a unique, multistage extraction process using only foodgrade solvents. This proprietary process preserves the delicate components of krill oil (namely phospholipids and astaxanthin) and maintains its freshness, as evidenced by extremely low levels of trimethylamine and total volatile nitrogen, key indicators of spoilage.

MOOD SUPPORT* Positelle™ 318.E.060.200 Think Positive* When you experience bouts of negative mood, finding your way out can be difficult. One reason is because negative mood is frequently not just a matter of feeling blue. Low mood often comes with feelings of occasional stress, and when you’re stressed out, it’s hard to get the sleep you need. Lack of sleep can cause your mood to deteriorate further, sending you into a vicious downward spiral. Most mood supplements address just one of these three issues — mood, occasional stress, or sleeplessness — when many people need help with all of them. Positelle helps stabilize all three sides of the mood triangle in one safe, powerful formula.* § Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Positelle§ Venetron® 25-125 mg 125 mg Rhodiola root extract 8.28 mg salidrosides 8.28 mg salidrosides Lavender Oil 80 mg 80 mg Vitamin D 400-800 IU 600 IU Quatrefolic® (folate) 200-400 mcg 400 mcg Serving size: 2 vegicaps • Daily dose: 2 vegicaps Positelle Benefits: About Venetron® •Safely uplifts the mood*: Every ingredient in Positelle has been clinically shown to support a positive mood.* Venetron® is a patented extract of the herb Apocynum venetrum, which has been shown in several double-blind human clinical trials to support a positive mood.* It has many of the same active constituents as St. John’s wort, but it is safe to use with common pharmaceuticals because it does not affect the CYP3A pathway.* •Promotes feelings of calm*: Venetron®, Rhodiola rosea, and lavender oil have been clinically demonstrated to help alleviate occasional stress.* •Encourages restful sleep*: Clinical studies have found that Venetron® and lavender oil support longer, deeper sleep.* Supplement Facts Serving Size: 3 capsules Servings Per Container: 30 Amount Per Serving % Daily Value Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) 600 IU 150% Folate (as Quatrefolic®) 400 mcg 100% [6S]-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid equivalent to 1.6 mg of [6S]-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, glucosamine salt Venetron® rafuma leaf extract 125 mg † Apocynum venetum Rhodiola root extract 276 mg † (Standardized to 3% salidrosides [8.28 mg]) Lavender Oil (flower) 80 mg † † Daily value not established.

Resveratrol is a phytonutrient and antioxidant that occurs naturally in grapes and red wine. Human clinical studies have shown that resveratrol supports healthy metabolism, normal insulin sensitivity, and optimal blood flow — all of which may have cardiovascular, brain, and anti-aging benefits.* However, resveratrol has a short half-life. That means it doesn’t stay in the bloodstream very long, so its benefits may be limited. Resveratrol-SR features MicroActive® Resveratrol, which delivers resveratrol in a special micronized, sustained-release matrix to increase its bioavailability. § Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used In Resveratrol-SR§ Resveratrol 10–270 mg regular resveratrol 150 mg MicroActive® resveratrol (providing the equivalent of 375 mg of regular resveratrol) Serving size: 1 vegicap • Daily dose: 1 vegicap Resveratrol-SR Benefits: About Resveratrol-SR •Delivers sustained release over 12 hours Released slowly over time so blood levels stay consistently elevated.

ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS* Advasorb® Vitamin C 309.B.060.200 Get More from Your Vitamin C.* Vitamin C is the best-selling vitamin in the United States for three good reasons: 1.

New research reveals we can slow down — and possibly even reverse — the aging process. Recently, scientists have uncovered a significant contributing factor to aging: the degradation of mitochondria, our bodies' natural power plants. When enough mitochondria become damaged, or their quantities diminish, they are not able to produce sufficient energy to keep all the organs going. In 2003, Japanese researchers rocked the scientific world with their discovery of the first new vitamin since 1948: pyrroloquinoline quinone (or PQQ for short). One of PQQ’s key actions is to preserve the quantity and function of the mitochondria.* § Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in VitaPQQ§ PQQ 20 mg 20 mg Serving size: 1 vegicap • Daily dose: 1 vegicap VitaPQQ Benefits: About VitaPQQ Supplement Facts Because of its actions on the mitochondria, PQQ may help: In 2003, Japanese researchers rocked the scientific world with their discovery of the first new vitamin since 1948: pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ).

COGNITIVE SUPPORT* Enhanced VitaPQQ® 313.C.030.100 Improve Your Memory and Focus.* Why is it that as we age, we have more difficulty remembering simple things? The answer to that question has eluded scientists for years. But now, exciting new scientific evidence suggests that one of the main causes of mild memory problems associated with aging is damage to the mitochondria — the energy-generating “power plants” of the cells. Enhanced VitaPQQ features PQQ — one of the only substances shown to increase both the quantity and function of mitochondria in animal models — plus MicroActive® CoQ10-SR®, a highly bioavailable form of coenzyme Q10 that delivers sustainted release over 24 hours. The combination of PQQ and CoQ10 has been shown to improve short-term memory and focus in humans.* § Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Enhanced VitaPQQ§ PQQ 20 mg 20 mg CoQ10 100 mg 200 mg Serving size: 1 vegicap • Daily dose: 2 vegicaps Enhanced VitaPQQ Benefits: About PQQ •Supports mitochondrial health* PQQ preserves the quantity and function of the mitochondria, which provide fuel for all cells — including brain cells.* In 2003, Japanese researchers rocked the scientific world with their discovery of the first new vitamin since 1948: pyrroloquinoline quinone (or PQQ for short).

In 2003, Japanese researchers rocked the scientific world with their discovery of the first new vitamin since 1948: pyrroloquinoline quinone (or PQQ for short). One of PQQ’s key actions is to protect the mitochondria — or energy-producing structures in cells— from free radical damage and to help generate new mitochondria, providing important anti-aging benefits.* Unfortunately, regular PQQ does not stay in the bloodstream for long. VitaPQQ-SR is the first product to provide PQQ in a special micronized, sustained-release matrix using patent-pending MicroActive® technology.
