A deficiency in vitamin B12 can result in a host of illnesses like anemia, fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, depression, poor memory, soreness of the mouth, asthma, vision problems, and a low sperm count.

Free vitamin B12 combines with Intrinsic Factor, and the resulting complex undergoes absorption within the distal ileum by receptor-mediatedendocytosis

Approximately 56% oral vitamin B12 is absorbed this way. In addition to the Intrinsic Factor mechanism, Passive Diffusion normally accounts for further adsorption of Vitamin B12. When taken in large enough doses, unbound B12 can overcome Intrinsic Factor defects because much can be absorbed through Passive Diffusion.
