Mannitol
Let's say that someone wanted to evaluate whether or not Mannitol could possibly impact PD symptoms, without waiting for 8 years of trials....what would you venture to consume in a day? A teaspoon?

i'd be careful. you can probably find a sugar free food containing mannitol via google and figure out how much is in it. not sure if it actually passes BBB. |

It does pass the BBB. In fact, it does such a good job scientists are interested in pairing it with drugs that do not as a transporter. More info here: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0617122401.htm |
i think your're wrong laura
that article does not say it crosses the BBB, just opens it.
here's an link to info stating it might cross the BBB after repeated uses but is used to relieve pressure on the brain because it doesn't cross the BBB. http://www.anaesthesiamcq.com/FluidBook/fl8_5.php I might be wrong, i'm not a doctor, chemist or have any medical training. it is interesting though how the israeli researchers imply it crosses the BBB but nowhere does it say they tested it in humans. |

Laura is correct that mannitol is used for a number of medical conditions (surgery, diuretic, renal problems). However, it also has many undesirable side effects. You may find one of those side effects does cure PD related constipation as you're running to the restroom. Hopefully, something good develops as this research moves forward. But be careful if you try to dose yourself now without any additional info. |
Small amounts of mannitol

Mannitol and consume 1 - 1 & 1/2 teaspoons daily. After a week, no changes of any kind, including constipation. |
