I also take the acetyl carnitine (a low dose of 250mg a day) and 100mg of r-lipoic acid. 500mg Ester C with bioflavinoids, Krill oil, 5mg methyl B12, 10,000 IU of Vit D3. I used to take much more, but found these I use today the most useful.
Hello...

I hope I am doing this right as I do not see my "replies" after submittal...

Wow, I was not aware that even a slight elevation in blood glucose could cause fatigue! I will try and cut carbohydrates as was advised by someone else on this board and review those supplements you mentioned.

Unless otherwise advised, perhaps a good plan of action is to first try1000-2000 B12 for two weeks see how that goes and proceed with the acetyl carnitine and so on. I want to make sure all goes well rather than using the deduction method to figure out what may not be agreeable.

Thank you for your reply MrsD!
