Vitamin and Cofactor Prescribing in Primary Mitochondrial Disease

Supplement prescribing in primary mitochondrial disease is almost universal, yet highly individualised, stepwise, and non-uniform across regions and phenotypes, with real potential for tissue and pill-burden harm. This podcast features Dr Julia Neugebauer and Professor Shamima Rahman exploring findings of a recent MetabERN survey looking at what informs when clinicians start, monitor, and sometimes stop enzymes and co-factors, and how global registry and natural-history data may guide the field forward.
