Dementia risk could increase with low levels of essential vitamin

“Normal" levels of vitamin B12 may not be enough to ward off dementia, according to researchers at University of California San Francisco. A neurosurgeon comments on the findings.
Blood tests showed that their B12 levels averaged 414.8 pmol/L, while the recommended minimum level in the U.S. is just 148 pmol/L. "Even participants with B12 levels deemed ‘normal’ by today’s medical standards showed clear signs of neurological impairment." "No clear evidence has been found to suggest benefit in B12 supplementation in patients without a deficiency."
