    How do Vitamin B12 levels change with age?

    As people age, their ability to absorb Vitamin B12 decreases due to lower production of stomach acid and intrinsic factor, which are necessary for B12 absorption. Older adults are more likely to develop a deficiency and may need to take B12 supplements or receive injections to maintain adequate levels and prevent health issues such as anemia and cognitive decline.
