About Geranylgeraniol
Geranylgeraniol (GG) is a lesser-known but highly valuable nutrient. It's a fundamental building block in the "Mevalonate" metabolic pathway, pivotal in both plant and animal life. In plants, GG is essential for Chlorophyll and Carotenoid pigment production, vital for photosynthesis and nutrient richness in fruits and vegetables. In animals, GG plays a key role in heme, CoEnzymeQ10 (CoQ10), vitamin K2 (MK4), and Squalene synthesis, supporting critical functions like oxygen transport, energy production, calcium regulation, and more. GG levels decline with age, impacting muscle health. Notably, GG can counter the muscle-related side effects of Statin drugs. Its small molecular size compared to CoQ10 allows better cell transport, facilitating CoQ10 production where it's needed most. Incorporating oral GG is recommended for improved health outcomes.
