here is a list of supplements recommended by a doctor for improving mitochondrial health:

  • acetyl-l-carnitine 800mg twice daily
  • n-acetyl cysteine 600mg twice daily
  • alpha lipoic acid 200mg twice daily
  • coq10 100mg twice daily

I would also add MCT oil to see if it helps.

My son has a Mitochondrial Myopathy I am wondering if there are any suggestions for natural remedies that others have found helpful. The key issues being Muscle Weakness, Fatigue, Pain, Difficulty going to sleep and staying asleep, Cold/Heat sensitivity and breathing difficulties at night.

Currently he takes co enzyme Q10, Multi Vitamin, Vitamin C and Melatonin. He is 11 years old and has had this condition since birth. As he gets older more symptoms appear and symptom severity has been increasing.

Any thoughts would be Greatly Appreciated


EC: Dear Lizz,

Are the supplements helping at all? We've added a NAY rating because it sounds like they are not from your post.
