A member asked:
I have no known reason for low b12 level, does there always have to be an underlying problem present? thanks

Yes: If you have no underlying issues and eat a normal diet containing meats you should not be B-12 deficient. However if you are taking medications to lower gastric acidity this may do it. If you are a vegetarian supplements will be necessary.
