Efficacy can "B" so simple in vitamin B12 deficiency

Vitamin B12 deficiency arises from two main causes - insufficient intake, which is common in vegan diets, and impaired absorption. Absorption can be affected by reduced gastric acid due to acid-blocking medications or atrophic gastritis, impaired intrinsic factor production as seen in gastrectomy or pernicious anemia, intestinal disorders such as Crohn’s disease or ileum resection, and the use of metformin. As a water-soluble vitamin essential for red blood cell formation and nerve health, vitamin B12 requires a complex absorption process. B12 Ankermann is recommended when deficiency symptoms cannot be corrected through diet alone and supports treatment in cases where medications reduce B12 levels.
