    What are the common causes of Vitamin B12 deficiency?

    The most common causes of Vitamin B12 deficiency include inadequate dietary intake (particularly in vegetarians and vegans), malabsorption disorders like celiac disease or Crohn’s disease, and pernicious anemia. Some medications, such as metformin for diabetes and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for acid reflux, can also interfere with Vitamin B12 absorption. In older adults, reduced stomach acid production can lead to decreased B12 absorption.
