Anyone seen this, used this . Feedback ???

I hadn't seen it before, so thanks for the link. It would make sense for an antioxidant that can get into the SN to be neuroprotective of the dopamine cells. I'm a subscriber to the iron overload theory, whether that will prove to be the underlying cause of dopamine loss we'll see, but this looks promising.

mymomhaspd asks: Anyone ... used this?

The article (July 2017) says that so far they have only tried it (D-512) on rats, and that the results are promising.

Next step would probably be a Phase 1 trial on humans. If successful, they would probably then do a Phase 2 trial on humans. If successful, they would probably then do a Phase 3 trial on humans. If successful, they would probably then apply to the FDA for approval to start selling it.

The bottom line is that there is still a long, long way to go.
