I’ve had cfs for a number of years now and it’s been only getting worse over the years . I guess you could say the fatigue started as a 6/10 now it’s hitting a 8 or 9/10. What are some supplements that you found gave benefit to your symptoms and what are the supplements you think didn’t help at all for ones with cfs to avoid . I know this disease affects everyone differently and would like to know what would possibly help reduce the severity of the fatigue .
I’m currently on
Zinc 50mg
Magnesium 500- 1000mg
All the B vitamins in methlyated form.
Selenium 150 mcg
Copper 5mg
Boron 10mg
Manganese 5mg
MSM( organic sulfur ) 3 gram
L- cartinine 3g
Alpha lipoid acid - 1.8g
Lugol Iodine - 6-15mg per day
Vitamin A, C,D, E, K
Omega 3s (High quality) - 3 gram per day
I believe all the vitamins and minerals I’m taking are helping with the cfs because I believe they are feeding /helping my mitochondria function better and if I don’t take my vitamins and minerals I generally feel more run down and fatigued then I normally would. What also has helped with my fatigue is a whole food nutrient dense diet. If I eat like crap I will feel more like crap generally so I try to stick with lots of fruits and Veges and meats . No sugar , gluten , dairy or processed foods .
I’ve tried a lot of antioxidant supplements like coq10 nac , glutathione, nad , sod and I feel like they don’t really do much for me . Maybe they helped a little but the results are minimal and I still feel extremely exhausted even on a ton of high powered antioxidants which are supposed to boost the mitochondrial function . Not to mention the fact that they are highly expensive/ money draining .
Do you guys have any recommendations for supplements that have helped you to promote healing ? If so I would find it interesting to see what you guys take to cope with your symptoms or things that have helped heal you along your journey with cfs . I would highly appreciate it . Thank you.
