Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an essential nutrient that plays a vital role in various bodily functions.
Unlike other vitamins that can be obtained from plant sources, B12 is primarily found in animal products. Good sources include meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products.
B12 absorption is a complex process. It requires a protein called intrinsic factor, produced in the stomach, to bind with B12 and facilitate its absorption in the small intestine. Conditions that affect intrinsic factor production, such as pernicious anemia or gastric surgery, can lead to B12 deficiency.
Certain conditions or medications can reduce the absorption of b12:
- Older adults: Age-related changes in digestion can hinder B12 absorption.
- Individuals with digestive disorders: Conditions like Crohn's or celiac disease can impair nutrient absorption.
- Those on certain medications: Some medications, like metformin and proton pump inhibitors, such as omeprazole, pantoprazole, and Prilosec, can interfere with B12 absorption.
The recommended daily intake of B12 varies with age. Adults generally need about 2.4 micrograms daily, while pregnant and breastfeeding women require slightly higher amounts.
If you think you might have a B12 deficiency, it's important to talk to your doctor. They can test your levels and tell you if you need a supplement or to make dietary changes.
