Confused about vitamin B12 deficiencies? Here's everything you need to know, including signs and treatment.
Want to know what the real benefits of vitamins are?Asides from age and diet, the main cause of B21 deficiency is an autoimmune condition called pernicious anaemia. Before we explain this condition further, let’s start with a quick science recap. “When B12 reaches your stomach, acids and enzymes unbid it into its purest form,” explains Lester, “from here, it combines with a protein called intrinsic factor which allows B12 to be absorbed in your small intestine.
Pernicious anaemia causes your immune system to attack the cells in your stomach that produce IF so your body is no longer able to absorb vitamin B12. Similarly, as we age, we produce less IF which is why deficiencies are more prevalent among older age groups.“Although it is not needed in high amounts, B12 is water soluble and stores need to be replenished regularly,” says Norton.
