Lightbulb statins cause

damage to the mitochondria--the energy producing parts of the cells.

Agents to help with mitochrondria functioning are:

1) acetyl carnitine -- 1-2 grams a day
2) CoQ-10 --especially for statin users, 100mg or as much as you can afford. Buy a good softgel with Q-sorb or other enhancing formula
3) Biotin - this helps mito also
4) r-lipoic acid 100mg a day (this is improved alpha lipoic acid)

What blood pressure medication do you take? I am unaware of PN from blood pressure meds. Some do deplete nutrients, but damage to nerves? I'd like to know what you use.

Take the B12, B6, folate and fish oil in addition to the above named ones.
