Increased blood homocysteine levels are considered to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This meta-analysis of 25 studies evaluated the effect of various doses of folic acid on plasma homocysteine. Doses of 800 micrograms provided a significantly greater reduction in plasma homocysteine compared to 400 micrograms. Supplementation with 800 micrograms folic acid per day was associated with a 23 percent reduction in homocysteine, compared to a 20 percent reduction associated with 400 micrograms. A dosage of 200 mcg was associated with a 13 percent reduction. Higher doses provided only a slightly greater benefit. The addition of vitamin B12 was associated with a synergistic benefit. Although some fortified foods contribute to daily intake in the U.S., many multi-nutrient supplements provide just 400 mcg of folic acid.
