Undetected B12 deficiency. Among elderly people, high folic acid levels can mask vitamin B12 deficiency. Untreated vitamin B12 deficiency may increase your risk of dementia and impair nerve function.

Even a small, daily dose of 400 mcg may cause unmetabolized folic acid to build up in your bloodstream.

Although high folic acid intake is a concern, the health implications are unclear, and further studies are needed.
