Anesth Prog 38 Berlin R, Berlin H, Brante G, Pilbrant (1978) Vitamin B12 body stores during oral and parenteral treatment of pernicious anaemia
When you swallow a B12 pill, several steps have to work for it to be absorbed: stomach acid and the enzyme pepsin must release B12 from food or the supplement, the stomach must secrete a protein called intrinsic factor that binds to B12, and the B12-intrinsic factor complex must reach the ileum (the end of the small intestine) where it is finally absorbed
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an essential vitamin that plays a role in many important bodily functions, including DNA production, nerve cells, and red blood cells
