The use of H(2)-receptor antagonists and/or PPIs may impair the absorption of protein-bound dietary vitamin B12 and could contribute to the development of vitamin B12 deficiency with prolonged use.[189] The studies reviewed in this article clearly show that omeprazole therapy will decrease the absorption of vitamin B12 by preventing its cleavage from dietary proteins.[190] A number of studies have shown an association of decreased B12 absorption with prolonged PPI use.[189,190] However, PPIs have been shown to affect B12 absorption in very short periods of time as well.[191,192] One study showed a 72% decrease in B12 absorption on 20 mg of omeprazole (Prilosec) and an 88% decrease in B12 absorption on 40 mg of omeprazole after only 2 weeks of treatment
For most individuals, this aligns with the goal of providing the body with a "shield" for the day ahead, and pairing it with Liposomal Vitamin C can make sense in a morning routine
3 Drugs to Treat the Motor Symptoms of PD The modern era of pharmacological treatments for the motor symptoms of PD started with the pioneering discoveries of the antagonizing effects of levodopa on the akinesia induced by reserpine in rabbits by the Swedish pharmacologist Arvid Carlsson [10] and of dopamine depletion in the striatum of brains from PD patients by the Austrian pharmacologist Oleh Hornykiewicz, who together with the neurologist Birkmayer also reported on the striking effects of small doses of intravenous levodopa on PD motor symptoms [11]
