Link Between Gut Bacteria and Parkinson’s Disease Uncovered in Recent Study

A recent study from Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan found a connection between gut bacteria, B vitamin deficiency, and Parkinson’s disease. The research suggests that supplementing B vitamins could be a potential therapeutic approach for treating PD, which affects around 1-2% of individuals aged 55 and older. The study highlights the role of gut microbiota in maintaining the intestinal barrier and preventing toxin penetration into the bloodstream, ultimately impacting brain health and neurotransmission processes.
