Dear Friend, ALL essential vitamins and minerals are necessary for people with PD. None of these are "optional" -- they are absolutely vital to maintain life and health. Your doctor should conduct an annual physical examination that includes bloodwork; this will show whether any deficiencies exist, and the doctor will then determine the best way to make up the deficiency. Other than this, I cannot generalize; health needs are highly individualized and specific to each person. Your doctor is the best person to address personal issues regarding blood levels of minerals._________________Best regards, Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD --
