B12 and Older Adults While a B12 deficiency isnt as prevalent as something like vitamin D or folate, evidence suggests that 10-15% of people over the age of 60 are low in B12, likely due to loss of a protein called intrinsic factor, which is essential for the body to absorb vitamin B12
Vegans need to make sure they take a good intake of B12
Once the bottle of methyl crystals and the sterile saline is opened and mixed, the sterile integrity of the (now fluid) B12 can no longer be guaranteed and is therefore potentially open to contamination
However, we can accommodate larger groups for the B12 injection course if necessary
Medications like omeprazole, cimetidine, lansoprazole, and folate can interfere with B12 absorption
This leads to a faster metabolism and can help with weight loss
