The diagnosis of this disease is difficult, due to lacking a proper and suited diagnostic laboratory test, besides to its multifaceted symptoms. Numerous factors, including environmental and immunological issues, and a large spectrum of CFS symptoms, have recently been reported.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-18594 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/freeimage-4945491-300x199.jpg?resize=300%2C199\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/freeimage-4945491.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/freeimage-4945491.jpg?resize=150%2C100&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/freeimage-4945491.jpg?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/freeimage-4945491.jpg?resize=1024%2C681&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/freeimage-4945491.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/199;\" \/>In this review, we focus on the nutritional intervention in CFS, discussing the many immunological, environmental, and nutritional aspects currently investigated about this disease. Changes in immunoglobulin\u00a0levels,\u00a0cytokine\u00a0pro\ufb01les and\u00a0B- and T- cell\u00a0phenotype and declined\u00a0cytotoxicity\u00a0of\u00a0natural killer cells, are commonly reported features of immune dysregulation in CFS. Also, some nutrient deficiencies (vitamin C,\u00a0vitamin B complex, sodium, magnesium, zinc,\u00a0folic acid,\u00a0l-carnitine,\u00a0l-tryptophan,\u00a0essential fatty acids, and coenzyme Q10) appear to be important in the severity and exacerbation of CFS symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>This review highlights a far-driven analysis of mineral and vitamin deficiencies among CFS patients.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Excerpt:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">A\u00a0meta-analysis\u00a0with 27 studies concludes that there are still few data to provide a promising hypothesis for the effective role of mineral and vitamin supplementation in the CFS\u00a0pathophysiology\u00a0and therapy. Current studies on minerals and vitamins in CFS patients need large population-based and age-matched prospective research, as well as well-observed interventional studies in CFS patients, to achieve more awareness in the efficacy of minerals and vitamins in the CFS pathophysiology. According to this analysis,\u00a0vitamin A\u00a0and\u00a0vitamin E\u00a0are promising vitamins that need further examination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS): Suggestions for a nutritional treatment in the therapeutic approach, by\u00a0Geir Bj\u00f8rklund, Maryam Dadar, Joeri J Pen, Salvatore Chirumbolo, Jan Aaset in\u00a0Biomedicine &amp; Pharmacotherapy\u00a0Vol 109,\u00a0Jan 2019, Pp 1000-1007 Review abstract: Chronic\u00a0fatigue\u00a0syndrome (CFS) is known as a multi-systemic &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/cfs-suggestions-for-a-nutritional-treatment-in-the-therapeutic-approach\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[113,4707,4709,1510,4713,4711,4708,4710,4706,4712],"class_list":["post-18593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-cytokines","tag-delayed-hypersensitivity","tag-geir-bjorklund","tag-immunoglobulins","tag-jan-aaseth","tag-joeri-j-pen","tag-lymphocyte-transformation","tag-maryam-dadar","tag-nutrients","tag-salvatore-chirumbolo"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5qkYK-4PT","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18593"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18593\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18625,"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18593\/revisions\/18625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wames.org.uk\/cms-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
