Default Supplementation - MRSD!

Over the past couple of years I have taken various supplements in an effort to 'feel better' and optimise my health because I have been feeling less than 'good'.

During that time there has been the odd supplement that stands out as being noticeably beneficial such as Folinic Acid & Shark Liver Oil. Possibly the other supplements I have taken may have been beneficial on a cellular level but nothing really noticeable.....however..

....a few weeks ago I started taking Acetyl-L-Carnitine and I don't know whether it is this or just co-incidence but I have renewed energy like I haven't had for months and possibly a couple of years.

None of the other symptoms like the PN, stiffness etc. have abated but energy-wise I feel inspired and able to do things that I have had no inclination to do for ages because of fatigue.

So does this mean that I possibly have some Mitochondrial involvement/deficiency that the Acetyl -L-Carnitine is targetting?

On a practical basis once I have finished this bottle of powder (I am taking one level teaspoon approx. 2 grams per day usually in V8 veg juice), do I get another bottle or do I take a break from it for awhile?

Is it something that depletes quickly or once built up it remains in the cells for awhile?

What is the basis for depletion in the first place?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions about its efficacy and usage!
