Thanks a bunch MrsD! My comments are interspersed below:

I'd start with the vit D. Take one a day for
2 weeks and see how you feel.

^^^OK! Take it in the AM or PM?

Then add in one dose of 2.5 gm of ribose
At night. After one week of the added ribose
Raise it to 5 gm at night. If it becomes
Energizing then take it in the morning.
(But I find it helps me sleep).

^^^Does ribose energize some while relaxing others? I do understand that some meds/supplements do have that ability.

^^^This is my 26th year in a row of teaching elementary Physical Education (Grades K-5), I need all the energy I can get (even on top of my prescription Ritalin - 60mg a day - 3X per day, although I break them in half and take as needed at 10mg at a time. I have ADD).

If you still need something then add in
The benfotiamine 300mg at bedtime.

^^^Does it typically relax or energize? I don't want something that is going to energize me at night.

The carnitine should be last.

^^^At what dose and AM or PM or both?

By adding one at a time you may discover
more about your own individual metabolic needs.

^^^Excellent point. Thank you.

So by the end you will be using all 4
Together.

^^^So do they really have a synergizing effect? What if after the first two supplements . . . I feel great?! My reasoning would think, "don't mess up a good thing! Try the other later (if ever!)."

^^^Your thoughts?

^^^Thank you very much.
