It seems like there are tons of supplements for CFS, but what you should chose from all of those options? In this article you will read how to choose between those supplement options and what is one of the most unique supplement for treating chronic fatigue syndrome.
Chronic Fatigue syndrome is an umbrella term, in most cases it refers to conditions when someone is chronically tired and lacks energy to do simple tasks in everyday life. Unfortunately, there are many reasons why this can happen. And sadly, many consider it as psychiatric illness and considers it as the same as laziness. CFS is not laziness but metabolic changes in ones body which leads to lack of energy.
CFS can range from mild to severe. In severe cases patient is not able to walk to toilet without feeling exhausted afterwards. There is no one reason why someone develops this condition, it usually is part of other illness which is hidden and chronic. CFS is seen in people with:
Mold illness
Chronic Lyme illness.
Chronic viral infections.
It is possible that someone has all of the above. Mold illness and Lyme illness often is called biotoxins illness, because both of these pathogens produce toxins which can accumulate in patients’ body and cause array of horrible symptoms. Depending on ones symptoms there are plenty of supplements to use.
The starting stack is metabolic supplements and detoxing supplements. You have to start with these two groups otherwise if you try to kill infections, you run the risk of making people more sick and deepen their CFS. Since metabolic supplements are those who usually offer the fastest relief, I will take a deeper look in those supplements.
We already know that pathogens directly impact ones immunity and leads to fatigue. Remember the last time when you had the flu, you are not only hot and achy, but also weak and fatigued. Immunity shuts down energy production to conserve resources for fighting the infections. If something goes wrong with fighting the infection, body gets stuck in this state.
The usual supplements for CFS that one tries are: D vitamin ,CQ10,B vitamin group , Zinc, Selenium. These all are very important for metabolism but the chances are that you have already tried them and had little success and are not the best supplements for CFS in your case. Therefore, I will suggest unique supplement which is rarely mentioned because it is used only in few countries – Meldonium.
Meldonium with its common brand name Mildronate has been used for after infection fatigue for over 50 years in soviet block countries like Baltic states, which are now part of European Union. It allegedly was originally developed for Soviet soldiers to help them with altitude sickness in Afghanistan war. Meldonium changes how body utilizes oxygen therefore allowing metabolism to make more energy. This is exactly one needs to relive fatigue caused by past or chronic infection. This is why Meldonium can be a great and useful supplement for CFS.
Meldonium in those countries where it is sold in pharmacies often is regarded as supplement by doctors because of it is effects and lack of side effects. But it has gone thru clinical trials and is a registered as medicine. This is great because most substances and supplements do not go thru clinical trials and can claim all kinds of nonsenses.
To summarize Meldonium is an over the counter medication regarded as supplement. Additional benefits of being defined as medication is the purity of substance, it is strictly controlled and has no hidden additives. It is available in 250mg and 500mg form. The usual starting dose is 250mg once a day in mornings. If tolerated well, after week or so, you can increase it to 500mg a day. The maximum recommended dose in one day is 1000mg.
I already mentioned B vitamins as a supplement which is one of those which is used as one of the first supplements when fatigue hits. Doctors love to start with this supplement for CFS, because it is quite obbvious one, but there is a big difference in what kind of b vitamins are used, the chemical form and composition. B vitamins are vital form most metabolic activities in our bodies. Deficiency of b vitamins can cause all kinds of nasty and weird symptoms, fatigue, pain, bloating and many more. Since they are so vital for all body processes it is advisable to start with very low b vitamin dose since they can ramp up the metabolic processes and even make symptoms worse at the start of treatment. My suggestion again is a pure clinically evaluated form of B vitamins called Neurorubine b vitamin complex.
This vitamin complex is registered as OTC medicine and are very pure and with this product you will know what you receive. It is important that you know what you take and in what form and purity. Supplements for example on amazon have absolutely no control and have harmful additives and different composition than they say on label. You can buy B vitamins on amazon and in the end there is almost no b vitamins inside.
