Parkinson’s progress is stopped in its tracks by using this supplement
I’ve seen some amazing vitamin D studies over the past 10 years. But this one might top them all.
Researchers gave vitamin D or a placebo to more than 100 Parkinson’s patients. They also gave each subject a battery of tests before and after the one-year intervention.
Parkinson’s worsened in placebo group subjects. In the D group, there was no change.
On the surface, that might not seem like news. But what it means is that 1200 IU of vitamin D a day halted the progress of the disease.
That’s huge!
Past research has linked low D levels to Parkinson’s risk. But I believe this is the first to show that the vitamin might be a powerful intervention.
More research is necessary. But in the meantime, there’s no downside to taking a D supplement. And the list of benefits is a long one.
One important note… In this study, they used the natural form of D… D3. That’s the only form that should be used for best absorption and results.
