In terms of reproductive function, Vitamin B12 is present in the testes and plays a role in sperm production
Several groups face higher risk, including: Older adults (due to reduced stomach acid production) Vegans and vegetarians (limited dietary sources) Individuals with pernicious anaemia (an autoimmune condition affecting B12 absorption) People with gastrointestinal disorders such as Crohn's disease or coeliac disease Those who have undergone gastric surgery People taking certain medications long-term, particularly metformin and proton pump inhibitors Individuals with recreational or medical nitrous oxide exposure (which can inactivate B12 and cause acute neurological symptoms) Vegans and vegetarians should ensure adequate B12 intake through fortified foods (such as some plant milks, breakfast cereals, and yeast extracts) or supplements
That feels great
