arginine (l-arginine)	early studies have found that long-term supplementation with l-arginine significantly improved endothelial function in patients with melas syndrome (mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke). further research is merited in this area.	c
coenzyme q10	coq10 is often recommended for patients with mitochondrial diseases, including myopathies, encephalomyopathies, and kearns-sayre syndrome. better studies are needed before a strong recommendation can be made.	c
