ADVICE

A Five-Part Mitochondrial Package

  • For pathological fatigue, supplement key mitochondrial cofactors: magnesium, CoQ10, niacinamide, acetyl-L-carnitine, and D-ribose.
  • Use suggested doses: Mg 200 mg (+Vit D), CoQ10 100 mg, niacinamide 1500 mg, ALC 1 g, D-ribose 5–10 g.
INSIGHT

Lactic Acid Is A Mitochondrial Brake

  • Lactic acid from anaerobic metabolism inhibits mitochondria and causes prolonged crashes in pathologically fatigued patients.
  • Aerobic ATP (36 per acetate) is far more efficient than anaerobic ATP (2 per acetate).
ADVICE

Pace To Avoid Post-Exertional Crashes

  • Pace activity so you never pay for exertion the next day; increase work only when you can do the same activity daily without delayed fatigue.
  • Use small, consistent daily limits and build up slowly as diet and supplements improve mitochondrial capacity.
