Comment:
This "supplement" is medically necessary for people with mitochondrial disease, and it is horrific that there is not coverage for it as a prescription drug for such patients. It has FDA Orphan Drug designation as of 1999 for one formulation, but they are still in Phase 3 and are not approved. The cost of this drug for mitochondrial disease patients can be hundreds of dollars per month.
