B vitamins may slow cognitive decline in people without dementia, but the effect is small Original paper

    In some trials, B vitamins (folate, vitamin B6, vitamin B12) slowed cognitive decline in studies lasting longer than 12 months and in people without dementia, though the effect was small and of questionable clinical significance. In other studies, only folate (but not the other B vitamins) was associated with a lower risk of dementia.
