Has anyone with Parkinson's tried Xara Shilajit, and is it worth it?
Shilajit is a natural resin-like substance sometimes marketed as a supplement, but there isn't strong clinical evidence supporting its use specifically for Parkinson's disease management.
A few important things to keep in mind:
- Supplements like shilajit are not FDA-regulated the same way medications are, so quality and safety can vary widely between brands
- Some supplements can interact with Parkinson's medications, potentially affecting how they work
- Heavy metals have sometimes been found in shilajit products, which is a safety concern worth noting
Before trying any new supplement, it's really important to check with your neurologist or doctor first. They can help weigh any potential benefits against risks, especially given possible interactions with your current Parkinson's medications.
