Randomized Trial of Folic Acid and Serum Homocysteine Levels
The results of this article are not surprising. What is surprising is the levels of folic acid needed to maximize homocysteine reduction. 800 mg. This is a relatively high dose and one that you will almost never find in most multivitamins. The best of the multis usually contain around 400 mg. Personally, I would always recommend plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains in addition to a high quality multi. I believe this will round out to the 800 mg found in this study.
