&#039;&#039;&#039;Oxaloacetate&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;oxaloacetic acid&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(OAA)&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Anhydrous Enol-Oxaloacetate&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;(AEO)&#039;&#039;&#039; is a nutritional supplement which has received attention as a treatment for [[chronic fatigue]] and mental fatigue in [[ME/CFS]] and [[Long COVID]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Theory==&lt;br /&gt;
Oxaloacetate is part of the [[Citric acid cycle]] and is formed from pyruvate. It is crucial in replenishing the citric acid cycle by acting as an acceptor for [[Acetyl coenzyme A]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|title=Regulation of pyruvate metabolism and human disease|date=Dec 21, 2013|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4059968/|journal=Cell Mol Life Sci|volume=71|issue=14|pages=2577 - 2604|last=Rabinowitz|first=Joshua|last2=Tompkins|first2=Sean|last3=Taylor|first3=Eric|doi=10.1007/s00018-013-1539-2|pmc=4059968|pmid=24363178}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Additional oxaloacetate may provide [[Mitochondrion|mitochondria]]&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;l support in ME/CFS.{{citation needed| date = 2022}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Evidence==&lt;br /&gt;
Cash et al. (2022)&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Cash2022&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; reported that &amp;quot;76 ME/CFS patients (73.7% women, median age of 47) showed an average reduction in fatigue at 6 weeks as measured by the &amp;quot;&#039;[[chalder fatigue syndrome|Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire]]&#039; of 22.5% to 27.9% from baseline (P &amp;lt; 0.005) (Likert scoring). Both physical and mental fatigue were significantly improved over baseline and historical placebo. Fatigue amelioration in ME/CFS patients increased in a dose dependent manner from 21.7% for 500 mg BID to 27.6% for 1000 mg Oxaloacetate BID to 33.3% for 1000 mg TID. Long COVID patients’ fatigue was significantly reduced by up to 46.8% in 6-weeks.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cash et al. (2024)&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|title=RESTORE ME: a RCT of oxaloacetate for improving fatigue in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome|date=2024-11-27|url=https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/neurology/articles/10.3389/fneur.2024.1483876/full|journal=Frontiers in Neurology|volume=15|last=Alan|first=Cash,|last2=D.|first2=Vernon, Suzanne|last3=Candace|first3=Rond,|last4=Lucinda|first4=Bateman,|last5=Saeed|first5=Abbaszadeh,|last6=Jennifer|first6=Bell,|last7=Brayden|first7=Yellman,|last8=L.|first8=Kaufman, David|language=English|doi=10.3389/fneur.2024.1483876/full|issn=1664-2295}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; reported that &amp;quot;Oxaloacetate significantly reduced fatigue by more than 25% from baseline, while the control group showed a non-significant reduction of approximately 10%. Intergroup analysis showed a significant decrease in fatigue levels in the oxaloacetate group (&#039;&#039;p&#039;&#039; = 0.0039) with no notable change in the control group. A greater proportion of subjects in the oxaloacetate group achieved a reduction in fatigue greater than 25% compared to the control group (&#039;&#039;p&#039;&#039; &amp;lt; 0.05). Additionally, 40.5% of the oxaloacetate group were classified as “enhanced responders,” with an average fatigue reduction of 63%. Both physical and mental fatigue improved with oxaloacetate supplementation.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vernon et al. (2025) reported that &amp;quot;The oxaloacetate (OAA) group showed greater cognitive improvement over time, with a significant between-group difference at Visit 3, 60 days into the trial, (&#039;&#039;p&#039;&#039; = 0.034) and trends at other visits. Higher fatigue was significantly associated with reduced cognitive gains in the OAA group (&#039;&#039;β&#039;&#039; = −0.34, &#039;&#039;p&#039;&#039; &amp;lt; 0.0001), but not in controls. UP Time increased modestly in the OAA group, reaching significance at Visit 2, day 30 (&#039;&#039;p&#039;&#039; = 0.044), though fatigue was not a strong predictor of UP Time in either group. At Visit 4, day 90, Global and Fatigue Only Responders were more frequent in the OAA group, while Cognitive Only Responders were more frequent in controls, though group differences did not reach statistical significance (&#039;&#039;p&#039;&#039; = 0.10).&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Theory==&lt;br /&gt;
Oxaloacetate is part of the [[Citric acid cycle]] and is formed from pyruvate. It is crucial in replenishing the citric acid cycle by acting as an acceptor for [[Acetyl coenzyme A]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|title=Regulation of pyruvate metabolism and human disease|date=Dec 21, 2013|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4059968/|journal=Cell Mol Life Sci|volume=71|issue=14|pages=2577 - 2604|last=Rabinowitz|first=Joshua|last2=Tompkins|first2=Sean|last3=Taylor|first3=Eric|doi=10.1007/s00018-013-1539-2|pmc=4059968|pmid=24363178}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Additional oxaloacetate may provide [[Mitochondrion|mitochondria]]&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;l support in ME/CFS.{{citation needed| date = 2022}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Evidence==&lt;br /&gt;
In 2022, Cash et al. (2022) reported:&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;Anhydrous Enol-Oxaloacetate, (AEO) a nutritional supplement, has been anecdotally reported to relieve physical and mental fatigue and is dimished in ME/CFS patients. Here, we examine the use of higher dosage AEO as a medical food to relieve pathological fatigue.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;76 ME/CFS patients (73.7% women, median age of 47) showed an average reduction in fatigue at 6 weeks as measured by the &amp;quot;[[chalder fatigue syndrome|Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire]]&amp;quot; of 22.5% to 27.9% from baseline (P &amp;lt; 0.005) (Likert scoring). &lt;br /&gt;
