Question:

I have had a serious medical issue for close to 17 years that makes it hard for me to recover after expending physical energy. I contracted an extremely virulent version of Epstein Barr Virus and I need help in understanding how exactly to regain the energy in my mitochondrial portion of my cells after a workout? I have tons of energy for a little while then I can spend days in bed trying to recuperate from expending all of my energy. If I ride my bike for an hour, it can take 3 days. If I grocery shop for an hour, it can take 1-2 days before I can do anything else.

Years ago I used to spend 4-5 hours in the gym, working out with weights, hundreds of situps, pushups, pullups , etc., daily. I would also ride my bike for 100-150 miles per week and also take karate, dance and aqua aerobics classes. I was in great shape before I got sick!

I get a teeny bit better with every passing year from this long-term virus, but I wonder if there is an easier way to recover other than sleeping 12-16 hour days to regenerate my depleted mitochondria?

Is there a supplement, mineral, amino acid or enzyme I could take that will speed up this recovery process?

I purchased your products because I am hoping a 10 minute workout won't kill me and help me get into better shape faster!

Thank you for your help in suggesting a few things that can speed up my recovery time!
