Experts from the American Stroke Association have studied whether vitamin B can help prevent cognitive decline after a stroke.
More than 8,000 stroke survivors or transient ischemic patients were randomly given a vitamin B tablet containing 2mg of folic acid, 25mg B6 and 500 micrograms B12, or a placebo tablet each day.
About 2,200 patients performed a cognitive mental health test at the start of the study and every six months for an average of 2 years and 8 months.
The study did not show significant differences between cases of cognitive impairment among subjects taking vitamin B compared to placebo.
