PARKINSON'S DISEASE HUMAN RESEARCH
If you or someone you love has Parkinson's disease, you are eligible to participate in a study to find out about your gut health, nerve health, physical health and quality of life.
Now, K-State researchers from the College of Health and Human Services are accepting participants to register in a study examining the impact of daily consumption of probiotics and vitamins on persons with Parkinson's disease.
Probiotics and vitamins are provided for free (available in the U.S. market, worth $100) for 12 weeks on gut health, metabolic health, neuroendocrine health, mood and quality of life.
BENEFITS:
As a participant, you will have the opportunity to learn about your health, metabolic, and neuroendocrine functions.
Earn $75 for participation.
Receive a free gut microbiome analysis, cholesterol and blood lipid levels, liver enzyme levels in the blood, and hormonal analysis, and mood assessments for free (total value $450).
There are no extra financial costs for participation. Moreover, the first 42 participants who complete the study will be eligible to enter a drawing to win a prize, including Parkinson's Self-stabilizing Spoon & Fork Set for hand tremors ($270 value), a pedometer, and more.
