Has the NoPark study been discussed?

When I tried to link when I first joined, I couldn't. Search at clinicaltrials.gov: "Parkinson's disease" "Nicotinamide riboside". That will bring up the various trials.

Hello @jeffwillapa,
As WebMD is a fairly easy to understand website, I've listed a link from their article regarding this supplement.
https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-1560/nicotinamide-riboside
Here is a quote from the "Overview" in this article:
"People use nicotinamide riboside for anti-aging effects, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, Alzheimer disease, obesity, and many other purposes, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses."
It would be a good idea to read the "Precautions" "Side Effects" and "Interactions." These include cautions about taking this supplement with blood pressure meds.
Have you mentioned this supplement to your neurologist? Are you currently taking prescription medication to reduce your PD symptoms?

Hi, @jeffwillapa - for safety purposes, new Connect members wait a few days before they can post links.
@hopeful33250 has talked about Parkinson's disease and may have some input on nicotinamide riboside. Also, please meet @missbutterfly2be @bobweller @angood1969, who may be familiar with nicotinamide riboside from their own or a loved one's experience with Parkinson's.
My understanding, @jeffwillapa, is you do not have a Parkinson's diagnosis, but watched your parents experience Parkinson's in their later years. Were there any therapies that had helpful effects for your parents with this disease?
