- Well, we really need to know all this - so thanks for posting it.
We need to know because - once again - they are not looking for the real answers but expensive band aid drugs.
But Amphetamine can destroy an already blasted adrenal dysfunction. Buzzzzzes don't work well for those who have HPA-axis impairment (as most with lyme are hit with as well as those with "CFS" their target audience).
Buzz rather than treat the reason the mitochondria are clobbered in the first place? Infections damage - and also many Rx clobber mitochondria. Address the causes.
My next thought, though, is that food supplies nutrients. Food. -

- I highly recommend Terry Wahls, MD book and suggestions for cellular repair.
Although - the * by "recovers" to note she also took minocycline during her process the nutrition discussion in her book is vital.
Daily dose of magnesium at 200 mg is low. Iron at 18 mg is too high for post-menopausal women.
Marnie, I don't know if those are actually the right amounts of the right nutrients needed by the mitochondria. The study states: "Rather than utilizing a high dosage of a single antioxidant nutrient (e.g. vitamin C, vitamin E, acetyl-L-carnitine, or coenzyme Q-10), a broad-spectrum supplement approach was used in this investigation."
But they don't even use coenzyme Q-10! And they should be evaluating CoQ10's newest update, MitoQ, because it is so much more effective.
They are trying to get everything but the kitchen sink into one pill. Trouble is, we need the kitchen sink too, haha.
Editing to add, By putting a prescription med (Ritalin) into this mixture, they can patent it and make a profit.

They make a profit with Axona = medicinal food for AD...active ingredient is caprylic acid (in VCO - medium chain fatty acid - saturated = loaded with hydrogen, i.e., "hydrogenated").
Solgar makes "Maximised Caprylic Acid".
We need hydrogen and we need it carried into the cells where...
The mitochondrion itself functions to produce an electrical chemical gradient—somewhat like a battery
by accumulating hydrogen ions in the space between the inner and outer membrane
Mito Q is a more bioavailable form of Co Q10 which becomes the antioxidant called ubiquinOL- for those who are wondering. Yes, it helps, but in our mitochondria
to make FMN and FAD in our mitochondria, we need riboflavin, B2...
Once upon a time...
"In the warm seas of the ancient earth, the first living things would have been prokaryotes. The endosymbiotic hypothesis for the origin of mitochondria (and chloroplasts)
***suggests that mitochondria are descended from specialized bacteria***
(probably purple nonsulfur bacteria) that somehow survived endocytosis by another species of prokaryote or some other cell type,
enabled staphylococci damaged by either antibiotic to recover to active growth in less than a day, even bacteria that appeared to have been killed by the antimicrobial.
Clinical levels of dopamine and noradrenaline also facilitated the recovery of P. aeruginosa from tobramycin antibiotic challenge."
