"In the study, 46 veterans with the syndrome received a placebo or differing doses of the supplement on a daily basis. Golomb’s group used PharmaNord, a version of coenzyme Q10 made in Denmark.
The result: 80 percent who got a 100 mg dose of the supplement showed improved physical function. The degree of improvement correlated to how much coenzyme Q10 levels in the blood increased.
Researchers also saw a lessening of symptoms such as headaches, fatigue after exercise, irritability, recall problems and muscle pain. Of 20 symptoms they chose to study, 19 showed improvement, according to self-assessments by patients, Golomb said.
The downside: sleeplessness. Coenzyme Q10 charges up cell activity to the point that it can keep people awake if taken near bedtime.
Presently, coenzyme Q10 is available in most drug stores without a prescription.
However, Golomb said high-quality versions can be expensive. And less costly variants sometimes contain additives that work against the antioxidant properties."
Sorry, but the article does not mention what these additives are.
