It is produced only by a commensal bacteria present in our intestine and our body absorbs vitamin B12 through a glycoprotein called "Intrinsic Factor". A disease called the "Blind Loop Syndrome" (BLS) occurs due to over proliferation of this bacterial flora affecting the normal process of digestion and absorption and also leads to vitamin B
