Potassium Orotate — a supplement with a talent for reversing tissue damage throughout the body, including the brain

Potassium orotate is a mineral salt that is normally found in small amounts in all living things. Each molecule of potassium orotate consists of a molecule of orotic acid in which one of the hydrogen atoms is replaced by a potassium atom.

Orotate (orotic acid) is a biochemical substance made by all living cells. It is a necessary raw material for making the genetic material: RNA and DNA.

Potassium is an essential mineral throughout the biological world, and is the most prevalent positive-charged ion in animal cells. This element helps to regulate the amounts of water and electrolytes in cells and plays an important role in nerve conduction and muscle contraction.

PQQ-Mind: yet another antioxidant? Yes, but an extremely interesting one!

PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone) is a newly discovered micronutrient that is naturally found in foods such as soybeans, parsley, and green pepper. It is found in numerous bacteria and is of tremendous importance in plant biology.

Recent research has revealed that PQQ may be extremely useful for animals, as well. Preclinical work indicated that PQQ is a potent enhancer of nerve regeneration. It is therefore of great interest in human neurological health.

Clinical studies suggest that PQQ may improve cognitive function, contribute to slowing the aging process, and stimulate neural energy production.

PQQ is currently of interest in the following applications:

• peripheral nerve repair
• stroke
• prevention of neurotoxicity
• Parkinson’s disease
• Alzheimer’s
• cancers of the nervous system
• protection from radiation
• cellular energy production
• neonatal survival
• resistance to stress
