The rate of incidence of PD increases with the advancement of age. Searching for nutraceuticals for the management of PD is a good approach since, so far, there is no e cient drug for such a disease. In addition, an interrelation of the immune system and iron status in PD is an important issue to be studied. In this context, a question arises: do the nutraceuticals that can improve the disease may also enhance the iron status?
