By Joseph Mercola, D.O. The common picture of a B12 deficient patient is an elderly person with pernicious anemia. But B12 deficiency may be caused instead by food-B12 malabsorption. Food-B12 malabsorption is the inability to release B12 from food or its binding proteins. Unlike pernicious anemia, it’s more likely to be associated with mild, preclinical B12 deficiency. B12 deficiency is common in elderly patients. One study revealed a prevalence of 12 percent among elderly people.
