Why is everyone so concerned about getting Vit E and C to the brain. If you
think that antioxidants will help, just take lipoic acid. It not only
reaches the brain, it has been shown to reach the substantia nigra. It is a
very powerful antioxidant and it recycles E which recycles C.
Plus it generates L-glutatione which is scarce in PD people. It also
chelates Iron.
Builds strong brains in 4 ways!
