B12 deficiencies can be caused due to gastric problems, dietary changes, pernicious anemia and intestinal problems. To know the exact cause consult with a general physician.
One can improve B12 by consuming all dairy products (milk, curd, cheese) are a good source of Vitamin B12. In addition, one can include red meat once a week to boost vitamin B 12 intake
A lack of intrinsic factor leads to pernicious anemia and vitamin B12 deficiency, which can cause anemia and brain and nervous system (neurological) problems.
The intrinsic factor is a glycoprotein produced by parietal cells in the stomach and necessary for the absorption of vitamin B12 in the terminal ileum.
