Vitamin B 12 plays a major role in digestion by providing the gut with enough supply of red blood cells. Lack of B12 has been associated with poor gut health affecting digestion and often inducing loose motions. Hence, taking adequate amount of B 12 is recommended to maintain proper digestive function.
