Low B Vitamin Levels Common In Many People Linked To Increased Heart Disease, Stroke Risk

pregnant women has been associated with neural tube abnormalities leading to such diseases as spina bifida, a crippling birth defect.

On Jan. 1, a governmental folic acid fortification program began to add the vitamin to cereals, grain products and flour. Omenn says that supplements of 400 ug folic acid may be needed in many people to bring homocysteine down into the normal range (below 10 umol/L). "B-12 should be incorporated into such supplements to protect against potential exacerbation of B-12 deficiency."
