topicL-Carnitine Fatigue Systematic Review
claimIncreasing evidence implicates mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative and nitrosative stress, immune dysregulation, and altered redox and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ) metabolism as interconnected mechanisms contributing to fatigue, although the strength of evidence varies across these pathways.

topicL-Carnitine Fatigue Systematic Review
claimThis narrative review critically examines the mechanistic and clinical evidence supporting mitochondrial-oriented micronutritional interventions in fibromyalgia and ME/CFS, including NAD + precursors, B-complex vitamins, magnesium, coenzyme Q10, alpha-lipoic acid, GlyNAC, L-carnitine, pyrroloquinoline quinone, taurine, and creatine.
