Common knowledge amoung some professionals (MD and ND):

1. Vitamin D: Some individuals with ME/CFS might have lower levels of vitamin D. Adequate levels of vitamin D are important for overall health, immune function, and bone health. Supplementation should be guided by healthcare professionals based on individual levels.

2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil or certain plant-based sources may have anti-inflammatory properties that could potentially benefit some individuals with ME/CFS, although evidence specific to this condition is limited.

3. Magnesium: Magnesium is involved in numerous bodily functions, including muscle and nerve function. Some people find that magnesium supplements can help with symptoms like muscle cramps, sleep disturbances, and fatigue, which are common in ME/CFS.

4. B Vitamins: B vitamins play vital roles in energy production and nerve function. While research is ongoing, some individuals with ME/CFS might benefit from B-complex supplements. However, individual responses can vary, and excessive doses might not necessarily provide additional benefits.

5. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): CoQ10 is an antioxidant that plays a role in energy production within cells. Some individuals with ME/CFS report feeling improvements in energy levels with CoQ10 supplementation, although scientific evidence is limited.
