Some vitamins can lower elevated blood levels of homocysteine, considered a risk factor for heart disease and stroke. But taking high doses of the vitamins - B-6, B-12 and folic acid - didn't actually prevent strokes, coronary artery disease or death in a recent study. Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and their colleagues studied 3,680 survivors of non-disabling strokes being treated at 56 centers in the U.S., Canada and Scotland. For two years, all participants took a daily multivitamin, with half also taking high doses of folic acid and the two B-vitamins. The other half got low doses of the vitamins.
