Elle is trying Dr Myhill's 'Daily regime of nutritional supplements' as detailed on pg 85 of her book 'its mitochondria, not hypochondria' - the 2014 edition, reprinted 2016. This maps out supplements across 3 categories - standard good health supplements for all; mitochondrial support; extra antioxidants (Elle is not taking most of these extras at present - may add later). The page details a schedule of what to take when, across 5 points in the day.
Thanks very much for posting the supplement list.
Are you also looking at taking the Krebs cycle support supplements that Dr Myhill uses? Though I understand it is only a specific subset of ME/CFS patients that are deficient in the Krebs cycle substrates: the Group A2 patients. The different patient subset groups are detailed in
this post. I believe when you get the "ATP Profiles" test from Acumen Lab done, you can then work out which group you are in.
The Krebs cycle acids are:
alpha-ketoglutaric acid, malic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, citric acid, pyruvic acid and pantothenic acid. Ref:
here.
Doing this is not cheap - but then neither is being unable to work. We're regarding this stage as an investment in Elle's health, seeing if it improves things (& the signs so far are good). Once it's established, there may be ways to cost-reduce but at present we've gone for the ones SM recommends or what seem to be the most trusted brands.
I have found that
www.healthmonthly.co.uk are consistently one of the cheapest supplement suppliers in the UK and Europe.
Another way to get even cheaper supplements is buying from online bulk powder supplement suppliers, such as
www.myprotein.com or
www.bulkpowders.co.uk in the UK, or
purebulk.com in the US. Bulk powder can literally be 5 times cheaper that buying supplements in capsules or tablets. Once you have plastic measuring spoon sorted out (usually supplied with the supplement), it's not too difficult to take the right dose in powder.
Another excellent option for bulk powder supplements is AliExpress, which is a kind of Chinese eBay. For example, if you buy
Q10 Powder on AliExpress.com, it costs around $200 for 500 grams of Q10 98% powder. Buying bulk Q10 this way will work out around
15 times cheaper than buying Q10 capsules in a jar, gram for gram. And this Chinese Q10 powder has this nicest, cleanest taste of any Q10 powder I have tried.
