This study systematically
reviewed the effects of B vitamin supplementation on plasma homocysteine (Hcy),
cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in randomized controlled trials. Data
from 19 studies including 47,921 participants was analyzed and the results
showed a significant protective effect on stroke and a decrease in blood Hcy
levels with B vitamin supplementation.
Note, be sure your daily multi-vitamin provides at least 400 iu folic acid and 25 to 50 mg of the B complex vitamins, including at least 1000 mcg B-12.
