Product Details

B12 absorption is a complicated process. The human body cannot synthesize vitamin B12 on its own.

Who should take a supplement?

• Vegetarians: Vitamin B12 is mainly present in animal products. Certain vegetal sources (miso, spirulina) do contain some B12 but in a form that is only slightly absorbed by the body.
• People over age 50: 10 to 30 % of these people do not assimilate B12 due to low gastric acid levels.
• Persons affected by autoimmune diseases: self antigens will bond to the intrinsic factor rendering it unavailable for the B12.
• People suffering from chronic intestinal diseases (Crohn’s disease, Coeliac disease): this type of disease prevents the passage of vitamin B12 through the intestinal wall.
• People suffering from pernicious anemia (or Biermer anemia): these people do not secrete the intrinsic factor which is essential for B12 absorption.
