Vitamin B-12 - Dietary Sources |
|
Text 
|
The vitamin can be supplied to the human body through diet that includes egg, fish, chicken, beef, fortified cereals and shell fish. There are some factors that play a major role in the absorption of this vitamin.
 Stomach acid (and pancreatic enzyme) digests the food and thereby liberates the bound vitamin B-12. A protein, called intrinsic factor (IF), binds to vitamin B-12, before it can be absorbed by the body through the small intestine. |
