Diet

Doctors say that this deficiency is more common among vegetarians and vegans because B12 is found more in non-vegetarian food.

The problem of absorption

As you grow older or if you have low stomach acid (HCL), gastric bypass, H. pylori infection or other stomach diseases, B12 cannot be absorbed. This also leads to deficiency of B12.

Medicines

Excessive use of certain medicines such as antibiotics, antacids, birth control pills etc. can also cause vitamin B12 deficiency in the body.

Lifestyle

Apart from all this, excessive alcohol, smoking, junk food and stress also have an impact.
