A member asked:

My mom found out that her stomach couldnt absorb b-12 and now takes a bilingual supplement. is this hereditary? could i have the same issue?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: If your mom do not have any genetic diseases , you don't have to worry. Vit B12 is very essential vitamin , its absorption involves complex mechanism , now we are fortunate we have other means to provide the body by injection , sublingual , and by dermal patch . You don't worry.
