It is worth trying if you think your PN is due to mitochondrial damage. Drugs(statins & antibiotics)/toxins are the biggest offender. It is not harmful or cause side effects, but is a bit costly.

Also if you are "older"...as the current thought is older patients have normal decline in mito activity.

You would need at least 1 to 2 grams a day.
The mito cocktails also include CoQ-10, biotin and lipoic acid.
