FA supplementation lowered bMMAs and increased bDMAs in a sample of primarily folate-replete adults, whereas creatine supplementation lowered bMMAs. Evidence of the reversal of treatment effects on As metabolites following FA cessation suggests short-term benefits of supplementation and underscores the importance of long-term interventions, such as FA fortification. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP11270.
