Folate and dementia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 September 2013
In a nutshell
Observational and some clinical evidence suggests that higher folate levels may be protective against cognitive decline and dementia. This operates at least in part through folate's effect on Hcy levels.
Those using folate supplements should bear in mind the potential for adverse CNS effects if any coexisting B12 deficiency is not corrected.
