Absorption of vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is absorbed naturally via intestine (from food). Vitamin B12 is absorbed around 2 mcg by active mechanism and in addition 1% by passive mechanism through the whole small intestine area. In case of supplements, it is the passive mechanism that plays the key role. The active absorption of vitamin B12 differs greatly from other water-soluble vitamins: first B12 binds with intrinsic factor, IF, glycoprotein in the stomach and then gets absorbed in the final part of the small intestine, ileum. From 100 μg of vitamin B12 actively 2 μg is absorbed and in addition by passive method about 1% is absorbed (0,98 μg), total absorption is around 3 μg.

Daily recommended dose (absorbed vitamin B12) according to age (National Institute for Health Development in Estonia):

6-11 months: 0,5 μg

12-23 months: 0,6 μg

2-5-year old: 0,8 μg

6-9-year old: 1,3 μg

10 year old and adults: 3 μg
