"...According to WebMD, “experts have suggested that 800 IU to 1,200 IU per day of vitamin E can help alleviate some symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.”
...In 2002, a study was published in the Archives of Neurology tracing the mental decline of 3,000 men and women diagnosed with Parkinson’s between the ages of 65 and 102 over the span of 7 years.
The study found that those participants whose supplemental vitamin E consumption was higher — in the top 1/5 to be precise — experienced a 36% reduction of the severity of their symptoms compared to those in the lowest quintile (1/5) of subjects.
A different study, originally appearing in the May 18 online edition of Lancet Neurology in 2005 and subsequently reported on by many mainstream news sources including CBS Healthwatch, indicated that vitamin E can actually prevent Parkinson’s disease!
Overall, researchers found that diets with even a moderate amount of vitamin E led to a 19% reduction in risk of developing Parkinson’s — welcome news for those with a family history of the disease."
Conceptualclarity : When you take significant doses of alpha tocopherol, the form of Vitamin E that is measured in "IUs" (International Units), I suggest you take the same amount in milligrams of the equally valuable form of Vitamin E known as gamma tocopherol, i.e,, with every 200 IU of alpha tocopherol take around 200 mg of gamma tocopherol. Alpha tocopherol lowers gamma tocopherol levels in the body, which is the most likely explanation for why along with the many positive studies on alpha tocopherol supplementation, there have been some much-publicized negative studies. Gamma tocopherol supplementation increases alpha tocopherol levels.
