These aren't like drugs (meth, for instance) that bring a jolt immediately so you'll need to take them for a few weeks in many cases to notice a difference. Most of these are good for overall health and vitality especially in older people, whose bodies are producing less and less CoQ10 and other important substances.
I started taking acetyl-l-carnitine and other forms of Carnitine plus Alpha-lipoic acid (or better still, R-Lipoic acid) years ago after reading that a patent had been issued for the combination of those two supplements based largely on studies (mostly of dogs) showing it made older animals look and behave like younger animals.
I'm pretty familiar with CoQ10 (and I believe I took a stronger form, forget the name) and take it now. Stopped the carnatine a few months back. I take PQQ, MitoQ, etc. I have seen no noticeable change from taking them. But if I stop the red light, my vision deteriorates, my energy goes down a lot, my body pain comes back, and on. And even though I have energy now, I have much much lower stamina. Anyway, I'll try someone from LE once the supply I have (which includes many of the same stuff) is less.
I'll make sure to get the combination right though!
But all the great replies to me really give me some direction and dare I say, hope.
There are a number of things that have shown success at improving energy in people who feel fatigued all the time. LEF sells a number of them:

Very interesting re that dog study.
