There are many supplements that are on the low side when it comes to Parkinson's disease (PD). Here is a list of several of those :
1. Vitamin D - Probably one of the best known deficiencies in PD and very beneficial if replenished. Vitamin D has a myriad of roles in the human body, not all of which have been discovered yet. We were born under the sun and adapted to make the most of that exposure and vitamin D is a very important part of that evolution.
2. Vitamin B12 - Another very important deficiency in PD. Reduced energy levels and increased potential for anemia. Low B12 also raises homocysteine levels and the gold standard treatment for PD can reduce B12 also and raise homocysteine levels. These elevated homocysteine levels are associated with accelerated disease progression. So getting B12 levels tested and adjusted appropriately are very important in PD. B12 also works against peripheral neuropathy (PN) which is significantly more common in PD estimated as high as 30 - 55% in people with PD, but only 8 to 9% in non PD.
