The Claim
Combining omega-3 fatty acids with folic acid and B-group vitamins reduces homocysteine levels more effectively than omega-3 supplementation alone, resulting in an additional average reduction of 0.28 μmol/L and indicating a synergistic effect on this biomarker.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking omega-3s along with folic acid and B vitamins lowers a substance in your blood called homocysteine more than just omega-3s alone—like getting a little extra boost from the combo.
