Features pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) and rhodiola extract to support mitochondrial biogenesis, energy production, and antioxidant status.*
A unique combination of 300 mg of rhodiola extract and 20 mg of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) per serving.
• Promotes mitochondrial and cellular health*
• Supports energy production*
• Promotes antioxidant status*
• Supports cognitive function*

Two specialized ingredients to promote mitochondrial biogenesis*
Mitochondrial biogenesis is the process of creating new mitochondria in your body’s cells. Mitochondria are often called the “powerhouses” of the cell because they produce most of the energy your body needs to move, think, and live. By supporting mitochondrial biogenesis, Mito-PQQ™ may benefit aging adults or anyone seeking to optimize energy production or cognitive health.* Consider taking this product in the morning due to its energizing properties.*

Mito-PQQ™ is a mitochondrial support formula by Designs for Health that combines PQQ and rhodiola extract to support cellular energy production, brain health, antioxidant status, and healthy aging.* PQQ specifically helps promote the body's ability to create new mitochondria — the tiny energy centers inside every cell.*
Mito-PQQ™ supports mitochondrial health, often called the powerhouses of your cells, which help turn food into usable energy for the body and brain.* By supporting the formation of new mitochondria, this formula helps maintain sustained energy production, mental clarity, and overall wellness.* Individual results may vary based on age and lifestyle.*
What are the key benefits of Mito-PQQ™?Key benefits include support for cellular energy production, mitochondrial health, cognitive function, healthy aging, stress resilience, and antioxidant status.* These are supported by PQQ — which helps support the body's ability to create new mitochondria — and rhodiola, an adaptogenic herb that supports stress resilience and energy.*
Take two capsules per day, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Consider taking in the morning due to its energizing properties.* For best results, use consistently as part of your daily energy and cognitive support routine.*
Mito-PQQ™ contains PQQ — a compound naturally found in foods like tea, kiwi, and parsley — that helps support the body's ability to create new mitochondria and supports cellular energy production.* It also includes rhodiola, an adaptogenic herb that helps the body adapt to stress while supporting energy and mitochondrial health.*
You may notice support in energy production, mental clarity, and overall vitality with consistent use as new mitochondria form over time.* The creation of new mitochondria is a gradual process.* Results depend on your age, current mitochondrial health, stress levels, diet, exercise habits, and guidance from your healthcare practitioner.*
Mito-PQQ™ is designed for daily use when taken as directed.* It features well-researched ingredients standardized for consistent quality and potency.* Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or managing a health condition.*
CoQ10 helps support the mitochondria you already have.* Mito-PQQ™ goes a step further by helping support the body's ability to create new mitochondria, while rhodiola provides stress and energy support not typically found in standard energy formulas.*

What This Product Is
Mito-PQQ™ combines two specialized ingredients that help promote mitochondrial biogenesis, the process of creating new mitochondria in the body’s cells. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, producing most of the energy the body needs to move, think, and live. Healthy mitochondria are required for sustained energy production, mental clarity, and overall wellness.*
By supporting mitochondrial biogenesis, Mito-PQQ™ may benefit aging adults or anyone seeking to optimize energy production or cognitive health. The formula features 300 mg of rhodiola extract (standardized to 3% rosavins and 1% salidroside) and 20 mg of pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium salt (as BioPQQ®). Consider taking this product in the morning due to its energizing properties.*
Mechanism of Action
Rhodiola for Adaptogenic and Mitochondrial Support
Rhodiola rosea (300 mg, standardized extract) is an adaptogenic herb that helps the body adapt to stress while supporting mitochondrial health, antioxidant status, energy production, and healthy aging. The standardized active components (3% rosavins and 1% salidroside) ensure consistent potency in every capsule.*
PQQ for Mitochondrial Biogenesis
Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ, 20 mg as BioPQQ®) is a powerful compound naturally found in foods like tea, kiwi, parsley, green peppers, and celery. PQQ supports mitochondrial function, promotes antioxidant status, and helps the body create new mitochondria to support energy production and cognitive health.*
Synergistic Energy and Cognitive Support
The combination of rhodiola’s adaptogenic stress support with PQQ’s mitochondrial biogenesis promotion creates a synergistic formula that supports both the creation of new mitochondria and the optimal functioning of existing ones, promoting sustained energy and mental clarity.*
Applications
- Individuals seeking to support mitochondrial biogenesis and create new mitochondria*
- Those wanting sustained energy production and mental clarity*
- Aging adults looking for cognitive function and healthy aging support*
- Individuals seeking adaptogenic stress support alongside mitochondrial health*
- Those wanting antioxidant status support to protect cellular health*
Key Ingredients / Formula Highlights
Rhodiola Extract (300 mg, Rhodiola rosea root)

Product Questions
How does Mito-PQQ compare to Mito-NR and Mitochondrial NRG for mitochondrial support?
Mito-PQQ™ focuses on mitochondrial biogenesis (creating new mitochondria) through rhodiola and PQQ. Mito-NR™ focuses on NAD+ production and mitochondrial protection through nicotinamide riboside, CoQ10, and geranylgeraniol. Mitochondrial NRG™ provides the broadest multi-nutrient approach with CoQ10, R-lipoic acid, L-carnitine, D-ribose, B vitamins, resveratrol, and curcumin. Choose Mito-PQQ™ for mitochondrial biogenesis with adaptogenic support, Mito-NR™ for NAD+ focused support, or Mitochondrial NRG™ for comprehensive multi-pathway energy production.*
Why is morning dosing recommended?
Both rhodiola and PQQ have energizing properties that support sustained energy production and mental clarity. Taking Mito-PQQ™ in the morning aligns with the body’s natural energy needs and may help optimize daytime energy and cognitive performance without interfering with sleep.*
Who may benefit most from Mito-PQQ?
Aging adults seeking to support mitochondrial biogenesis as mitochondrial function naturally declines, individuals wanting sustained energy and cognitive clarity, those seeking adaptogenic stress support alongside cellular health, and anyone looking to optimize mitochondrial function for overall vitality and healthy aging.*
