Vitamin B6 for Parkinson’s
The July 2006 issue of Neurology reports on a study of vitamin B6 consumption compared to developing Parkinson’s disease. B6 is required for the nervous system, and is needed for normal brain function.
According to the Reuters Health report of this study:
[T]hose who reported taking in the most vitamin B6 were about half as likely as those who consumed the least to develop Parkinson’s disease.
Keep in mind that B vitamins do not exist in isolation in nature. There are 8 B vitamins and they offer the greatest synergistic value when consumed together as a B-Complex.
