In case the body is unable to absorb vitamin B12 due to dietary insufficiency, malabsorption, or lack of intrinsic factor, hepatic stores are depleted. However, when it is stored in excess it can release and help the body cope with symptoms of B12 deficiency.

Take a DHT Test (Dihydrotestosteron) Test or Take a Testosterone Free Test Test
