Vitamin B12 is important for digestive health, as it helps with the production of digestive enzymes

People on PPIs for a long time should get their B12 levels checked regularly

They can be taken at home without the need for medical supervision

Additionally, older adults who naturally have a more challenging time absorbing vitamin B12 or those on certain medications that affect B12 absorption may be ideal candidates

Malabsorption due to digestive disorders, such as Crohns disease or celiac disease, can also lead to vitamin B12 deficiency

B12 injections are especially effective, as they provide direct absorption for optimal immune function
