I was wondering what supplements folks take that they feel give them some measure of relief. I am wondering if there's a preponderance of any one or two and also, I am trying to put together a plan of action, adding what I can when I can afford to. Another thing I wonder about is how they work synergistically... which to take WITH each other and which to keep separate?

I take D3
DopaBean
B12
Magnesium
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Co Q10
P-5 -P which is a B6, I think.

I plan to start taking Bragg's apple cider vinegar which gives a boost of potassium and enzymes also.

oops.. and I mean to look into taking amino acids as well. Just gotta get all the info down, plan and execute (when funds are available, sigh)

I've not tried a lot of things, but one thing I've found to offer me some energy is a pharmaceutical grade of Ubiquinol, which is an oxidized form of Co Q10.

I've also had D3, which did bring my level up to the preferred range and haven't been put back on it.

Hi friend! You know I ran out of CoQ10 a few weeks ago and have been feeling kind of bad. You just reminded me that it's probably good to get some again.

I take MSM, Fish Oil capsules, Milk thistle for my liver, and a girl who works at the health food store told me that the Vitamin B complex I was taking doesn't work as well as taking a brand with a coenzyme so I take some by Country Life.

She said your body has to go find the enzyme to help make it work and if you are difficient in that, it won't help as much and this makes it more effective.

I also take sublingual B-12 lately. It gives me a little energy.

I also use EmergenC.

I take D3 as well.

I also take Adrenal Health by Gaia Herbs.

I've been pretty sick so I can't say how well all these are working but I thought I was starting to feel a little better before I got the flu.
