Just a quick news update on the well know nutritional supplement Creatine. It is to be used in a large study in America by the US National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to determine if the supplement can help to slow the progression of the degenerative brain disorder - Parkinson’s disease.
There are drugs at present that can reduce the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease but there are none at present that can slow its progression.
The study will take place across 51 medical sites across the US and Canada and will involve 1720 people who have early stage Parkinson’s disease. Half will be receiving a placebo and half creatine and each participant will not know what they are receiving.
