Summary
Breeze 98546 had not been able to get out of bed in the morning for almost two years, with brain fog, mild POTS and a disrupted sleep cycle. A cold that turned into bronchitis unexpectedly restored morning energy and a normal sleep schedule, and switching from CoQ10 to MitoQ greatly improved brain fog, though the supplement was expensive. They still felt bad by noon and had mild POTS; no full recovery was described.

- mitoq · Helped a lot
switching to mitoquinol had been kind of night and day

For real though: mitoq and magnesium threonate
