Hi Lee,
I experienced results between 2-10 days, mostly cognitive, but my best improvements were about 3-4 months in. I noticed continued improvement for about 9 months. After that, things stabilized. I have maintained the improvements and have not progressed any further. It will be three years on Nov. 27th. I am doing better than when I was first diagnosed still, no PD meds. I started taking RG only six months after my diagnosis however, and I am younger than most (YOPD). Any digestive distress, like heartburn or diarrhea? I have had a history of GERD, so I have to take more RG capsules in the morning and noon so that I don't have to take them before bed, when most of my heartburn can occur.
I started taking Restore Gold almost three weeks ago. In three days I noticed a difference. I was thinking this is too soon to tell if it's the supplements or my wishful thinking. Three weeks later and I'm still very pleased with the marked difference I'm experiencing with my arms and hands. I have much smoother and stronger use of my arms and hands now as compared to immediately prior to taking Restore Gold. I still have a lot of dyskinesia in my right leg, but my neurologist says that is caused by my carbidopa levodopa medication.
Is it homeopathic?? Or is it a Prescribed drug?
I just ordered a 3 month supply today as they had a $50 discount for the 3 month supply. They say it can take 30 to 60 days to see results. it'll be a while, but hopefully I'll see results in several months. We shall see.
I take it...over two years now. Lost about 1-2 years of progression and I have been stable since. Helps best with those who have not advanced to the later stages of Parkinson's. I was able to discontinue taking Sinemet. It works by allowing the mitochondria to begin producing ATP energy again, which enables cells to resume dopamine production naturally. It helps keep brain cells from dying going forward. It also attacks the inflammation and oxidation common in PD, but it is the mitochondrial restoration that is of more importance. That is also why it does not help those that are more advanced, because there fewer senescent cells to restore. Some have been successful in getting an off label prescription for UDCA (Ursodiol) which is like one of the main ingredients in Restore Gold (TUDCA). That can help with costs, but both UDCA and TUDCA are expensive ingredients. UDCA is a drug and TUDCA is a supplement according to the FDA, but are treated exactly the same as a bile acid salt in medical research. TUDCA is naturally produced in the body in very small quantities.
