Vitamin B12, a water-soluble vitamin, supports the production of red blood cells and contributes to the normal functioning of the nerve system.
Vitamin B12 has to bind to "Intrinsic Factor" for better absorption by the body. "Intrinsic Factor" is produced in the stomach. When part of the stomach has been removed, little to no intrinsic factor can be produced. Vitamin B12 deficiencies are thus inevitable. Lasting vitamin B12 deficiencies may lead to anaemia through a decrease of the number of red blood cells, but also to neurological problems such as muscle weakness, confusion, forgetfulness, increased irritability ...

No Questions

Why does Bariatric Advantage® Vitamin B12 I.F. contain intrinsic factor?

Vitamin B12 deficiency often occurs after bariatric surgery. On the one hand, this is because the patient eats less meat (which is the major source of vitamin B12). On the other hand, it is because the protein 'intrinsic factor', which is produced in the stomach and is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B12, is absent in bariatric patients. The addition of intrinsic factor (IF) to Bariatric Advantage® Vitamin B12 I.F. ensures the optimal absorption of vitamin B12. 

Is Bariatric Advantage® Vitamin B12 I.F. suitable for vegetarians? 

No, the intrinsic factor in Bariatric Advantage® Vitamin B12 I.F. is of animal origin (pork) and therefore not suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
