In production and efficacy studies. In the early days, due to the limitation of production technology, the raw materials of PQQ were very expensive and were only used for scientific research.

The application of PQQ is mainly concentrated in the international market. In the United States, PQQ can be used as a raw material for food such as energy drinks, sports drinks, electrolyte drinks, and bottled water, and can be used as dietary supplements or natural health foods in the European Union and Canada.
