A member asked:
When is the best time take protein for a parkinson's patient? is it before or after a levadopa dose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low-protein diet!: Research indicates increased benefits for low-protein diet with parkinson's. Because Levodopa is absorbed best on empty stomach, the drug is usually recommended 1/2 to 1 hour before or after meals. Nutritional studies suggest that most protein intake should be done during evening meal.
