Parkinson’s expert Dr. Charalampos (Haris) Tzoulis is actively running clinical trials studying NAD+ boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) as a possible treatment option for Parkinson’s patients. He’s clearly optimistic. And, as you’ll see below, this is consistent with what we’ve heard from NAD+ experts Dr. Charles Brenner (FAQs) and Dr. David Sinclair in regards to their preferred NAD+ precursors, NR and NMN, respectively:

My grandma has Parkinson’s disease, she is about 75 years old it was detected 7 years ago. Right now it’s getting more difficult to live for her, because of stiff muscles she can’t even move. L-dopa and carbidopa medicines are given, but won”t give much relief. She can”t eat food and the skin is damaging forming ganglia. I thought this might be the last stage and the medications she was given did not help at all, so I started to do alot of research on natural treatments, I was introduced to Health Natural Centre and their Parkinson’s Herbal Protocol. She started on the Parkinson’s Treatment last year, her symptoms gradually diminished including her Tremors, Body Weakness and Muscle Pains. Reach them at health natural centre . org , She is getting active again since starting this treatment, she is able to walk again ( down the street and back )she have also resumed exercising to strengthen muscles!! God Bless all PD Caregivers. Stay Strong, take small moments throughout the day to thank yourself, to love your self, and pray to whatever faith, star, spiritual force you believe in and ask for strength. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you.
