The result was keep. I'm withdrawing AfD request. I suggest the article be under the current title, but include information of Cerefolin NAC also. DGG ( talk ) 02:39, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No reason why this apparently routine vitamin supplement should be notable DGG ( talk ) 20:14, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article needs to be expanded and references added, but a search of Google News Archive found a ton of significant coverage. --MelanieN (talk) 16:56, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Goggle News has recently adopted a disconcerting habit of indexing not just the actual news report in a newspaper's blog, but the write in comments that people make. Most of the sources there seem of that nature. Malanie, if you think an article can be written, I'll gladly withdraw so you can write it. DGG ( talk ) 22:29, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Several of the sources in that search ARE reliable sources, for example [1], [2]. I don't know that I want to take on the rewriting, but I do believe the sources are there. --MelanieN (talk) 03:28, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Levomefolic acid. Cerefolin is a brand name for levomefolic acid and is already mentioned in that article. I could find no reliable sources that talked about the product Cerefolin itself. Note that this may be more than a routine vitamin supplement; there exists papers in Primary Psychiatry and CNS spectrums studying its possible therapeutic effects in treatment of Alzheimer's disease. --Mark viking (talk) 23:26, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A brand name for levomefolic acid? Says who? It appears to consist of a combination of ingredients - "high dose vitamin B12, B6, and folic acid along with n-acetylcysteine, an antioxidant" according to Medical News Today[3]; "Cerefolin NAC is a prescription dietary supplement that contains three main ingredients: L-methylfolate, methylcobalamin and N-acetylcysteine" according to WSOC-TV[4]; it's not simply another name for L-methylfolic acid (levomefolic acid). I would oppose a redirect, it's not the same thing. --MelanieN (talk) 03:24, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cerefolin and Cerefolin NAC are two different products. Only the NAC product contains methylcobalamin and N-acetylcysteine. It is true that plain Cerefolin also contains B2, B6 and B12 vitamins. I suppose claiming Cerefolin as one of the brands in the Levomefolic acid article, the editor was considering l-methylfolate as the main ingredient. --Mark viking (talk) 03:40, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article describes a product containing methylcobalamine and N-acetylcysteine (NAC). Maybe it should be renamed to Cerefolin NAC? --MelanieN (talk) 06:02, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
