Vitamin B12 Deficiency?
Although anyone can develop a deficiency, certain groups have a higher risk.
These include:
People following a vegan diet: Vitamin B12 is naturally found mainly in animal-derived foods, so people who avoid these foods need reliable fortified foods or an appropriate supplement.
Older adults: Some people develop reduced stomach acid or other digestive changes that make it harder to absorb B12 from food.
People with digestive conditions: Conditions affecting the stomach or small intestine can interfere with vitamin absorption.
People who have undergone certain stomach or intestinal surgeries: These procedures can affect the body’s ability to absorb
