What to check on the label
- Which form of the compound the label names (for CoQ10: ubiquinol or ubiquinone) and whether the milligrams refer to that form.
- Softgel oil carriers are listed under 'other ingredients'. They are not part of the active amount.
- Branded ingredients (Mitopure, BioPQQ and similar) should be named on the label if the brand claims them.
Amounts are per label serving as recorded in the catalog and are not a recommendation. Testing status reflects what the brand lists. Nothing here is medical advice.
Editorial score and research-dose calculations
These calculations describe our scoring method. They are not a recommended dose or proof of benefit from this product.

How we scored this product Show the full breakdown
Evidence gates dose: the evidence grade sets the ceiling, and the dose decides how much of that ceiling the product reaches. Value = inverse of price-per-trial-dose-day. Community = mean sentiment of external reviews. Safety caps applied after weighting.
This score is our editorial judgment, not a scientific standard. We combine published evidence, dose, price, transparency, and consumer signals into one composite: this is our method, not a peer-reviewed clinical rating. A higher score means a product does better on the factors we weight, not that it is medically proven to work.
Quick verdict
Our summary
Why this scored this way
This Jarrow Formulas PQQ 20 mg scores 6.2, making it below the site average. It delivers 20mg of PQQ, inside the studied range of 10–40mg with grade C evidence (mostly preclinical, limited human data).
What drives the score up
- Tested by independent lab (transparency 7.5).
What drags it down
- Dose-evidence score of 5.4 is below average for the site.
- No public lab certificate available for independent verification.
Why you'd choose it
- You want a reasonably priced mitochondrial product.
- You want a tested by independent lab product.
Why you might skip it
- You want a product with a publicly available CoA.
- You want better value (this is $1.17/day with a value score of 8.5).
- You want a higher-scoring product (this scores 6.2).

These are consumer sentiment signals. They do not measure whether the product actually works. See our evidence section for that.
Independent external anchors
Public sources on this same product, unrelated to NO1GEVITY. NIH DSLD is the US government's registered label database (shown verbatim). SuppCo.com is a separate, unaffiliated commercial site with no partnership or data-sharing arrangement with us. NO1GEVITY scores are computed independently of both.
What others say, with a source hierarchy
We treat external opinion very differently depending on where it comes from. Tier A is our strongest signal. Tier C is background sentiment only. Tier Rejected is what we excluded, listed openly so you can see what we discarded.
These reviews are aggregated from third-party sources, not written by NO1GEVITY. Each entry shows its source, retrieval date, and whether the source has an affiliate or paid relationship. We do not edit reviews to change their meaning. Disclosure policy.
Independent deep reviews, lab tests, certificates of analysis
Our strongest external evidence. Long-form independent reviews, physical-product lab work, and third-party certifications.
ConsumerLab ran real independent HPLC potency and heavy-metal testing on named PQQ products including Jarrow's, but the pass/fail result specific to Jarrow's product sits behind ConsumerLab's paid membership wall and could not be confirmed in this research pass.
Across ConsumerLab's broader testing history, Jarrow Formulas passes independent quality testing at a high rate (7 of 8 products, 87.5%), a positive brand-level signal even though it doesn't confirm this specific PQQ product's individual result.
A government regulatory body (not a product reviewer) concluded BioPQQ is safe for healthy adults at up to 20 mg/day, but explicitly noted limited human ADME data and excluded pregnant/lactating women from the safety finding.
Registered dietitians and physicians, without affiliate ties
Credentialed commentary from clinicians who disclose no paid relationship. Useful as supporting critique but not a substitute for a clinical outcome trial.
Trustpilot sentiment for the brand overall is positive but the review count is too small (N=6) to be statistically meaningful, and no PQQ-specific reviews were identified.
Aggregated sentiment (Trustpilot, Reddit)
Mood indicator only. We never use aggregate stars as evidence of efficacy.
This aggregator gives Jarrow Formulas a notably lower trust score than most other sources reviewed, largely by applying a stricter 'NSF Certified for Sport'-style bar that Jarrow does not claim to meet, while appearing to disregard Jarrow's stated NSF GMP-registration and QAI certifications.

Claim check, vendor claims vs. our reading of the evidence
Not medical advice. We list the strongest claims made by the brand and check each against traceable evidence.
Regulatory status
Rules change often. We record when we last verified each row. See the full regulatory timeline →
What we could not verify
We list this openly. If a claim isn't backed by a source we can trace, we'd rather flag it than repeat it.
- No public Certificate of Analysis (COA) for this specific product or lot was located on jarrow.com; third-party purity/potency testing exists only via ConsumerLab's proprietary member-only test data, which we could not access in full to confirm pass/fail for this exact SKU.
- ConsumerLab's public summary states 2 of 7 tested PQQ products failed to meet their labeled PQQ content, but does not name which brands failed in the freely accessible summary, it is unverified (though plausible, given ConsumerLab's inclusion of it in the test set) whether Jarrow's product was one of the 2 that passed or one of the 2 that failed.
- Whether Jarrow's current-production PQQ 20 mg capsules are manufactured at Jarrow Industries' own Santa Fe Springs facility or by an outside contract manufacturer could not be confirmed for this specific SKU, Jarrow has used outside contract manufacturers for at least some products historically (e.g., the 2018 Liquid L-Carnitine recall named an 'outside contract manufacturer').
- No clinical trial exists on Jarrow Formulas PQQ 20 mg as a finished, branded product, all human evidence is on the PQQ disodium salt ingredient class, using either BioPQQ, mnemoPQQ, or unspecified PQQ disodium salt raw materials from other suppliers, none of which is confirmed as an exact match to Jarrow's specific batch/lot.
- Long-term (>12 weeks) human safety and efficacy data for daily PQQ supplementation does not exist in the literature reviewed; all human RCTs run 8-12 weeks.
- The claimed 'heart health' benefit has no specific human cardiovascular-outcome trial identified in this research pass, it could not be verified against any RCT with a heart-health primary endpoint.
