PQQ 20mg — direct answers
What is it? Vitality Supplements PQQ is a single-ingredient food supplement providing 20mg of PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) disodium salt per 2-softgel serving. PQQ is a naturally occurring redox cofactor found in trace amounts in foods.
What form is it? The disodium salt of pyrroloquinoline quinone — the form authorised as a novel food in Great Britain and the EU, with a maximum authorised level of 20mg per day for adults. This product doses at exactly that authorised ceiling.
What is PQQ? Pyrroloquinoline quinone was identified in 1979 as a redox cofactor in bacteria. It occurs naturally in trace amounts in everyday foods such as kiwifruit, green peppers, parsley and fermented soybeans (natto), and in human breast milk.
Does it make health claims? No. No EU/UK health claims are authorised for PQQ and no NRV is established, so this product is described factually only.
How many softgels? 60 vegetarian softgels per pouch — 30 servings, a 30-day supply at two softgels daily.
How is it taken? As a food supplement, adults take 2 softgels daily with water, preferably with food. Do not exceed the stated recommended daily dose.
Who should not take it? Not for under-18s. The novel-food authorisation covers adults excluding pregnant and breastfeeding women, so it is not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If on medication, consult a doctor before use.
Is it tested? It is third-party tested at an independent ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory for identity, content and contaminants.
Where is it made? Manufactured in the United Kingdom to GMP standards.
Is it vegan? Yes. The softgel shell is vegetarian (modified starch, glycerol, carrageenan) with purified water; free from gluten, dairy, soy and nuts. Suitable for vegans.

The specification
One compound.
One exact number.
PQQ is not a blend and we don’t treat it like one. What is in the softgel is a single compound at a single stated dose — the disodium salt form, at the maximum daily level the GB/EU novel-food authorisation permits for adults. Every figure below is printed on the pouch and confirmed on the batch certificate.

How it is made
How it is sourced
and softgelled.
A deliberately simple build: one compound, one form, one dose, one shell — softgelled and tested in the UK. Here is each step.
Step
01
Premium-grade PQQ disodium salt
We start with pyrroloquinoline quinone as its disodium salt — the specific form assessed and authorised as a novel food in Great Britain and the EU, and the form used in the published human research.
Step
02
Dosed at the authorised ceiling
The novel-food authorisation sets a maximum of 20mg per day for adults. We dose at exactly that level per 2-softgel serving — the full permitted amount, no more, no less, stated on the label.
Step
03
A vegetarian softgel — no gelatin
The shell is modified starch, glycerol and carrageenan with purified water — no gelatin, no animal ingredients. Free from gluten, dairy, soy and nuts; suitable for vegans.
Step
04
Batch tested before release
Softgelled in the UK to GMP standards and third-party tested at an independent ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory — identity, PQQ content and contaminants.
The Compound
What PQQ is — factually.
A naturally occurring redox cofactor, discovered in 1979, present in trace amounts across everyday foods — described as it is, with the research linked below.
1979
Identified
A modern discovery
Pyrroloquinoline quinone was identified in 1979 as a redox cofactor in bacterial enzymes — one of the more recent additions to the family of quinone cofactors, alongside long-known molecules like flavins and nicotinamides.
Trace
In everyday foods
Present in the diet
PQQ occurs naturally in trace amounts — micrograms, not milligrams — in foods such as kiwifruit, green peppers, parsley and fermented soybeans (natto), and in human breast milk. A 20mg dose is far beyond what diet supplies, which is why the supplement form exists.
20mg
Novel-food ceiling
Dosed at the authorised max
PQQ disodium salt is authorised as a novel food in GB/EU with a maximum level of 20mg per day for adults, excluding pregnant and breastfeeding women. This product doses at exactly that ceiling. No health claims are authorised for PQQ, and we make none.

PQQ Disodium Salt
What is PQQ?
Pyrroloquinoline quinone is a small quinone molecule identified in 1979 as a redox cofactor in bacterial enzymes. It occurs naturally in trace amounts — micrograms rather than milligrams — in everyday foods including kiwifruit, green peppers, parsley and natto, and in human breast milk.
We use the disodium salt: the specific form assessed and authorised as a novel food in Great Britain and the EU, with a maximum authorised level of 20mg per day for adults (excluding pregnant and breastfeeding women). This product provides exactly 20mg per 2-softgel serving — the full authorised ceiling, stated on the label. No health claims are authorised for PQQ and none are made; the compound is described factually and the human research is linked further down this page.
- 20mg per 2-softgel serving — the GB/EU novel-food maximum for adults

Shell
Vegetarian Softgel
Why a vegetarian softgel?
Most softgels are gelatin — an animal product. Ours is not. The shell is built from modified starch, glycerol and carrageenan (a seaweed-derived gelling agent) with purified water, making the whole product suitable for vegans.
That is the entire ingredients list: one active compound and a four-component shell. Free from gluten, dairy, soy and nuts, as printed on the pouch.
- No gelatin — suitable for vegetarians and vegans
- Shell components named individually: modified starch, glycerol, carrageenan, purified water
- Free from gluten, dairy, soy and nuts
- No colourants, flavourings or unnecessary excipients

Honest positioning
Is PQQ right for you?
We would rather be honest than make a sale. Here is who this product is for and who it is not for.
✓
This is for you if…

- ✓You want a single named compound with the dose on the label
- ✓You want a vegan softgel — no gelatin — that’s UK-made and batch tested
- ✓You research compounds yourself and want the primary literature linked, not paraphrased
—
This is not for you if…
- ✗You are pregnant or breastfeeding — the novel-food authorisation excludes this use
- ✗You take prescription medication — consult your doctor before use
- ✗You expect a promised effect — no health claims are authorised for PQQ and we make none
- ✗You are under 18

+We make no claims about what PQQ does — no EU/UK health claims are authorised for it and no NRV is established. We describe the compound factually and link the published human research directly on this page so you can read it and draw your own conclusions.
Why 20mg?
+PQQ disodium salt is authorised as a novel food in Great Britain and the EU with a maximum level of 20mg per day for adults. We dose at exactly that authorised ceiling — the full permitted amount, no more, no less. Many products dose at 10mg; imports sometimes exceed the authorised level entirely.

Is PQQ found in food?
+Yes, but only in trace amounts — micrograms per serving in foods such as kiwifruit, green peppers, parsley and fermented soybeans (natto). A 20mg dose is far beyond what diet supplies, which is why the supplement form exists.
How do I take it?
+As a food supplement, adults take 2 softgels daily with water, preferably with food. Do not exceed the stated recommended daily dose.
How many servings are in a pouch?

If you take any medication or have a health condition, consult a doctor before use. Keep out of reach of children. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if adverse reactions occur.
