Bad gut bacteria linked to Parkinsons

A new study just identified gut microbes likely to be involved and linked them with decreased riboflavin ( vitamin B2) and biotin (vitamin B7), pointing the way to an unexpectedly simple treatment that may help: B vitamins.

"Supplementation of riboflavin and/or biotin is likely to be beneficial in a subset of Parkinson's disease patients, in which gut dysbiosis plays pivotal roles," Nagoya University medical researcher Hiroshi Nishiwaki and colleagues write in their paper.

I find it interesting that the article suggests supplementation rather than getting it from the best natural source, red meat. Why pay companies that make supplements, which are never nearly as bioavailable as natural sources.

Also from the article: A 2003 study found high doses of riboflavin can assist in recovering some motor functions in patients who also eliminated red meat from their diets. So it's possible that high doses of vitamin B may prevent some of the damage, Nishiwaki and team propose.
