Message definition (Folate)
===Neurological disorders===
Conversion of homocysteine to methionine requires folate and vitamin B<sub>12</sub>. Elevated plasma homocysteine and low folate are associated with cognitive impairment, dementia and [[Alzheimer's disease]]. Supplementing the diet with folic acid and vitamin B<sub>12</sub> lowers plasma homocysteine. However, several reviews reported that supplementation with folic acid alone or in combination with other B vitamins did not prevent development of cognitive impairment nor slow cognitive decline.
