A member asked:
Do you recommended taking some vitamins such as coq10, vitamin e, c, b12, k2,d3, and probiotics and laxatives for constipation in parkinson? also is sun exposure dangerous in pd in terms of increasing free radicals in body or is it good for vit d?thx
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All except laxatives: are fine, though there is not much evidence that vit E is helpful. Except Exercise! That is apparently emerging as one of the most helpful things you can do for PD AND the good news for you is it also helps constipation. You should of course drink LOTS of fluids and eat fruits, veg, and fiber. If you must take a laxative, use a fiber laxative. Good luck!
