A member asked:
After one month of taking oral b12 vitamin of 500 mcg my level came back to normal. then after 3 months of quitting the vitamin, my level dropped to deficient level. could this indicate an issue of absorption in the intestines?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly. But nevertheless, oral B12 corrects the deficiency so you should probably stay on the vitamin. You can discuss with your doc about potential causes.
