Summary
Took a mitochondrial-support stack of CoQ10, B3, magnesium and zinc after being, in her words, "totally bed ridden with super low ATP." Reports being "much better than I was," a substantial gain, but says she is "still mostly house bound" and was actively looking for additional toxin-removal approaches, so the improvement is partial rather than a cure.
What they credit
Credits Supplements, CoQ10 / ubiquinol, NAD+ boosters (NMN, nicotinamide riboside, NADH, ATP), Selenium, iodine, minerals.
