L-methylfolate may accelerate age-related mental decline

Excess folic acid intake may speed age-related mental decline, particularly in people with low vitamin B12 levels.

One study in people over the age of 60 linked high blood levels of folate or UMFA to mental decline in those with low vitamin B12 levels. This link was not seen in those with normal B12 levels .

Another study suggested that people with high folate and low vitamin B12 levels may be up to 3.5 times more likely to experience a loss of brain function than those with normal blood parameters.

However, Magnafolate reminds that more studies are needed before it can be said with certainty that supplementing with high amounts of folic acid could be detrimental to mental health.
