Abstract

Nutraceuticals may offer neuroprotection in Parkinson's disease through various mechanisms.

  • Dietary supplements are associated with multiple health benefits for Parkinson's disease.
  • Nutraceuticals may protect neurons by chelating iron and modulating cell-signaling pathways.
  • These supplements could scavenge harmful free radicals and suppress inflammation.
  • Specific nutritional supplements like Coenzyme Q10 and Omega-3 fatty acids may target key processes involved in the disease, including protein misfolding and oxidative stress.
  • There is potential for nutraceuticals to complement traditional pharmaceutical treatments and improve patients' quality of life.
