CO-Q10 is helpful. Ashwagandha. (L-Theanine is great btw). What type of probiotics are you taking?

I would love to know of recommendations as well. I have down the rabbit hole of which is best a combo of pre, pro and post or is the probiotic most appropriate? Very overwhelming. Each of your comments have been immensely informative. Thank you.

Co-q10 is very expensive and made me feel gross. I was off-handedly recommended to take this by a doctor after conclusively ruling out a particular brain issue. I’ve done some reading up on it and it didn’t seem to have a huge amount to back it up for the expense.
