The dietary supplement inosine, which the body converts to urate, safely raises blood urate levels in people with early stage Parkinson's disease (PD), according to a new study. The result paves the way for testing inosine as a potential treatment for slowing PD progression. The research appears in the December 23 issue of JAMA Neurology.Earlier studies have suggested that PD progresses more slowly in people whose natural levels of uric acid (urate), are higher than average.
