Review: Feel like I have more energy. - Great products Review: Review by Annie above contains numerous factual errors - I purchase this product for my mother, who has taken this product for the better part of a decade and is a very healthy and active 86 year old. As I was ordering her a supply of this I just happened to see the review by Annie, which contains several factual errors. As someone in the health field, I thought I'd provide a correction to that review. A simple google search will verify the following: 1. Taurine is an amino acid, not technically a protein. 2. Taurine has been shown in NIH/academic studies (NIH - National Institute of Health) to lower blood pressure, not raise it, and has also been shown to reduce cardiac risks & cardiac events. 3. Taurine improves the ability and speed at which brain cells can communicate with each other and has been shown to temporarily improve cognition (which is why companies put in energy drinks; but it is NOT a stimulant) 4. PQQ has been shown in NIH/academic studies to increase the number of mitochondria in vivo (in the body, not in a test tube). The biogenesis of new mitochondria is a huge deal because a reduction in the number and the efficiency of mitochondria is a fundamental component of aging. If you can form new mitochondria or at least lose them at a slower rate as you age there is a very positive effect on longevity. Again, don't take my word for it, do a google search and read the studies. My mother feels as if this product has helped both her mental sharpness and ability to be active. By anyone's definition she is in remarkable health and looks MUCH younger than her age. I would advise people to do their own research before buying any supplement. ## Features - Promotes cellular energy – Your mitochondria are responsible for creating the energy your cells need. But as we age, their numbers decline, along with cellular energy production. Encourage cellular energy with PQQ, R-lipoic acid and taurine. - Grow & protect mitochondria – PQQ is a novel nutrient that encourages your cells to grow new mitochondria. It also helps protect against oxidative stress at the cellular level. Another antioxidant, R-lipoic acid, encourages healthy mitochondrial function. - For learning & memory – Taurine is one of the most abundant amino acids in the body, and it supports whole-body health. It’s especially concentrated in your brain, where it encourages brain cell formation to support learning and memory. - Ingredients matter – We use the finest raw ingredients with the quality and purity you deserve. The majority of our products are non-GMO, gluten-free and manufactured in the USA—and a Certificate of Analysis is available for every one. - Live your healthiest life – We believe the answers to a healthier life are in reach, and that scientific research is the key to getting there. That’s why so many of our formulas feature specific ingredients and amounts based on scientific studies. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B006NXPUKI | | ASIN | B006NXPUKI | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Allergen Information | Gluten Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #72,036 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #2,993 in Blended Vitamin & Mineral Supplements | | Brand Name | Life Extension | | Color | Tan | | Container Type | Bottle | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (119) | | Date First Available | September 4, 2013 | | Diet Type | Gluten Free, Vegetarian | | Dosage Form | Capsule | | Flavor | Unflavored | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00737870186939 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions | 1.84 x 1.84 x 3.23 inches | | Item Form | Capsule | | Item Nype Name | PPQ Supplement | | Item Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Item model number | 01869 | | Manufacturer | Life Extension | | Manufacturer | Life Extension | | Manufacturer Part Number | 01869 | | Material Features | GMO Free | | Material Type Free | Gluten Free | | Model Name | Mitochondrial Basics with PQQ | | Model Number | 01869 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Primary Supplement Type | L-Taurine, PQQ, R-Lipoic Acid | | Product Benefits | Helps protect against free radical activity, Promotes the growth of new mitochondria in cells, Supports expression of genes related to healthy mitochondrial function, Supports new brain cell formation | | Product Dimensions | 1.84 x 1.84 x 3.23 inches; 1.6 ounces | | Special Ingredients | PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline quinone) disodium salt, R-Lipoic Acid (as microencapsulated Bio-Enhanced® stabilized Na-RALA sodium R-lipoate), Taurine | | Specific Uses For Product | Anti-Aging & Longevity, Brain Health, Energy Management, Heart Health | | Total Servings Per Container | 30 | | UPC | 737870186939 | | Unit Count | 30.00 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Life Extension - **Diet Type:** Gluten Free, Vegetarian - **Flavor:** Unflavored - **Item Form:** Capsule - **Item Weight:** 0.1 Pounds - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 1.84 x 1.84 x 3.23 inches - **Primary Supplement Type:** L-Taurine, PQQ, R-Lipoic Acid - **Unit Count:** 30.00 Count ## Images ![Life Extension Mitochondrial Basics with PQQ, L-Taurine, R-lipoic Acid, foundational Supplement for Cellular Energy Production, Brain and Heart Health, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Vegetarian, 30 Capsules - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wOfvdzKJL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Customer Package Type** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What are mitochondrial supplements?** A: They are energy supplements formulated with nutrients like PQQ, R-lipoic acid and L-taurine that support the growth and function of the cellular energy generators known as mitochondria. **Q: How does Mitochondrial Basics with PQQ help support cellular energy?** A: This formula includes three mitochondrial energizers: PQQ, R-lipoic acid and L-taurine.
