Doctor-Supervised Beauty Supplement, Active Supplement "Vitamin C + PQQ" Appears!

Protea Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Mark C. Minter) has decided to launch a new core product, "Vitamin C + PQQ," from its doctor-supervised beauty supplement series, "Active Supplement." "Vitamin C + PQQ" is a supplement that combines seven forms of Vitamin C with "PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone)," an ingredient gaining attention for its role in energy production. In addition to care that "protects" beauty from within, it supports daily well-being that becomes a concern with age. Furthermore, in conjunction with the product launch, an event will be held at Matsuya Ginza starting on Wednesday, April 15, 2026. ■ Background of Vitamin C + PQQ Development Many people begin to notice changes in their skin appearance, vitality, and energy balance after their 40s. Active Supplement focused on changes in energy metabolism, in addition to age-related hormonal balance changes, as causes for these issues. "Vitamin C + PQQ" was developed to support the beauty of women in this generation and help them lead youthful and active daily lives, as an easy-to-continue inner care habit. ■ Combination of 7 Forms of Vitamin C × PQQ Vitamin C is one of the widely known ingredients in the beauty field. This "Vitamin C + PQQ" product contains a total of 1000mg of seven forms of Vitamin C, including pure Vitamin C and liposomal Vitamin C, to achieve both absorption and sustained release in the body. PQQ is a nutrient that, together with Vitamin C, helps protect beauty from within while supporting the creation of daily vitality. This combination of two nutrients enables a new approach from two perspectives: "protection" and "energy." Comment from Dr. Arata Tomori, Internal Medicine and Dermatology Physician, Official Ambassador for Active Supplement For beauty and health, it is important to consider lifestyle habits holistically, including sleep, nutrition, and stress management. Within this, when considering beauty and health for those in their 40s and beyond, I believe that adding a new perspective of changes in energy metabolism allows for more comprehensive care. The body does not change suddenly, so small accumulations will ultimately lead to significant differences. Beauty comes from inner energy.
