Last year I started taking CoQ10, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, and D-Ribose and felt excellent each time. The Q10 really did it for me, thought I was just on the verge of a cure. I never used them more than a few days at a time, I didn't want to get into a supplement and try just it for months or two and find that it is something that wont get me well after all so I tested all sorts of things. In that time I found that Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, and Garum Armoricum, three adaptogens, really helped out, they still do a little but not as much which is much the same as the mitochondrial supplements.

So at the beginning of this year I figured I had enough supplements that worked lined up to get cured of this Chronic Fatigue Syndrome I've got going on and began by testing Q10, I had tested different kinds of q10 like ubiquinol and such and all four or five times I tested I felt outstandingly better after just a few days but this time it just went nowhere, two weeks of nothing, then I added in the carnitine only to find that it had run out as well, the D-Ribose still worked and still does work, I found a way to take it that is better than the way most advise, instead of taking 3 5gram doses of ribose a day I pour out a glass of water, add 2.5g's of ribose to it, and drink a third of that each half hour, ribose has a very short half life and with this I do feel good most of the day through but not the way I felt when the carnitine and q10 were going.

The adaptogens still give a little something but nothing like they were giving, with adaptogens they say your body can get used to them and stop getting benefit from them so this part isn't too suprising, hell, i'm glad they still do anything at all.

Q10 always worked strangely, it would kick in almost exactly 3 hours after I took the softgel each time, lately, when I do take it I think it might still have some effect but still I need back what I had, I felt so good finally feeling healthy again.

Does anyone know how I can get those two supplements to kick in again or something else for ATP that I might take?

thanks all
