The investigators also found that individuals with PD have a chronic niacin deficiency . The purposes of this study are to (1) examine the blood, urine and spinal fluid of persons with Parkinson's to look for evidence of inflammation and; (2) whether 6 months of vitamin B3 supplements may reduce the inflammation and/or improve symptoms.
