Vitamins for PD

[Jojaku123]

Hey all! Just wondering, what general “vitamin pill“ do you recommend for PD? From time to time, I see people talking about Hardy. Wondering if there’s something particularly special about that one? I personally have been using raw one by vitamin code… Any thoughts on this topic?

Thanks

Parkinson’s neurologist Professor Michael S. Okun has recommended that people with Parkinson’s take a multivitamin every day – especially if they are on levodopa replacement therapy.

In my post ‘Unlocking the Maze of B Complexes: A Handy List for Safe Dosages and Bioactive Vitamins’ a section is also included with reasonable and balanced dosages of bioactive and natural multivitamins:

There are 'natural' multivitamins, also referred to as 'whole food vitamins'. These vitamin supplements often contain fruit and vegetable concentrates along with synthetic vitamins. Unfortunately, combining synthetic vitamins with a small amount of fruits and vegetables does not make it natural. As a result, it may not be entirely clear to consumers that most of the vitamins in such a supplement are synthetic.

This seems to be the case with the Multivitamin from Naturelo as well, where the B vitamins are synthetic. However, the other added vitamins (A, C, D3, E, and K2) do have a vegetable base.

Opting for a nutritious diet with, for example, 200 grams of broccoli instead of relying solely on a 20 mg dried extract in a capsule is not only beneficial for the abundance of nutrients it provides but also for promoting healthy digestion, enhancing culinary experiences, and being kinder to your wallet.

Despite the high price, partly due to unnecessary fillers from fruit and vegetable extracts, this is a comprehensive bioactive multivitamin with safe dosages. It is included in the above overview of B-complexes and multivitamins.

From Amazon

thank you! Although I’ve heard many people say we should be wary of Amazon… Perhaps you should buy from the company directly? Just a thought…

The subject of vitamins/supplements to take for PD can get overbearing and way too much. A good multi-vitamin, and Dr. Okun also has touted a probiotic for the gut function. Other than that, I would suggest you talk to your Primary Care physician---following regular blood work to see if any changes or additions need to happen ---for your body!!

Balanced diet, lots of water, movement, laughter, sunshine, connections with friends and family, religious affliations and support are an overall body prescription---and a good, solid care team.

Take good care of yourself

what kind response… Thank you my friend

This is a useful resource, strong scientific rationale for things like Vitamin D, B6, B12 and even a compelling argument for vitamin C for PWP.

I'll not try to repost the vast array of science that Dr. Mischley shares, but worth investigating for sure. Has fundamentally changed my approach to tackling my PD:

An interesting paper she has published is here, which acts as a good intro:

Hope it helps.

Best wishes,
