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.

Source: A combination of omega-3 fatty acids, folic acid and B-group vitamins is superior at lowering homocysteine than omega-3 alone: A meta-analysis.
