  • Patent number: 8367121
    Abstract: This invention describes a comprehensive nutraceutical designed to antagonize major mitigating factors to the degenerative process associated with Parkinson's disease. The formulation is comprised of a primary base of pyruvate, succinate, ?-Ketoglutarate and/or oxaloacetate, niacin/NADH, fruit extracts, anthocyanins, further combined with specific macro/micronutrients, trace elements, amino acids, flavonoids and concentrated plant sources. The nutraceutical contains all natural substances that should mitigate many of the neurodegenerative processes known to be associated with PD. Mechanisms addressed are to prevent the loss of ATP/by 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium rotenone, scavenge hydrogen peroxide/O2.
