    Comment:
    Supplements of vitamin B12 and folic acid greatly improved the reliability and effectiveness of my Parkinson's medication. My tremor and stiffness are relieved more quickly, for a longer period of time, and to a greater degree when I take 1000 micrograms of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) and 800 micrograms of folic acid along with each tablet of Sinemet (carbidopa/levodopa 25/100).
