Hello again @gulfer While I'm not a big supplement user I do use a few (fish oil, B12, B1, magnesium, Vitamin D3) There are some side-effects related to Ginkgo, see the MD website regarding these, http://wb.md/2udhIaj. Also, Vitamin D3 has some benefits for bone strengthening (if you live in a sunny climate, this might not be as important) see http://bit.ly/2tQ2s0q. Perhaps others in our group will have some additional suggestions, @chrisj2491 @denie57 @johnjames @trouble4343 @ggopher @tntredhead @aperob @caryp43 @burgle @macbeth @knightkris @mariemarie @pjsammy @techi @sandycerem @bobbieingeorgia.
What supplements would you like to discuss?
Teresa

@gulfer I'm pleased that I could pass on some helpful information. When considering supplements it is always good to think about the other health problems that exist and then to check your mom's current meds against the supplements. Regarding the Vitamin D (and calcium) they both help to keep bones stronger, which is important with PD because of the tendency for falls and breaking bones. Have you checked with your mom's doctor regarding appropriate supplements for her situation? Teresa

Thank you SO much Teresa! She actually has type 2 diabets, so when İ read the side effects of Ginko, it is intteracting with diabetes medicines.İ can't thank you enough for showing me these websites. İ will check all the vitamins before İ send them to my mom. And for the sun exposure, From the article, sun exposure is highly recommended for body's natural vitamin D production to fight or even prevent PD. Thank you!!!You are very helpful.
