When considering supplements or vitamins for Parkinson's disease, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider. Here are some key points from my knowledge base:

- Vitamin D: There is a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Parkinson's disease. However, the evidence connecting vitamin D to Parkinson's symptoms and progression is still unclear. The general recommended dose is 600 IUs for adults under 70 and 800 IUs for adults over 70. Too much vitamin D can cause side effects like nausea, muscle weakness, and kidney stones.

- Magnesium: Your body needs the right balance of vitamins and minerals, including magnesium, to function properly. However, specific benefits for Parkinson's disease are not detailed.

Always discuss with your healthcare team before starting any supplementation plan.
