In the two-year VITACOG trial, a combination of vitamins B6 and B12 and folic acid lowered homocysteine levels and was associated with a slower rate of brain atrophy in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. The largest difference was observed in participants with higher homocysteine levels at the start.

In a 13-week study, 5-MTHF significantly lowered homocysteine in people with moderately elevated levels. This active folate form produced an effect comparable to folic acid and a diet enriched with naturally occurring folates.
