However, some people are more at risk of a vitamin B-12 deficiency, including older people, vegetarians and vegans, those with intestinal disorders, and individuals with diabetes, muscular degeneration, or Lou Gehrigs disease
doi: 10.25259/ABP_12_2024 Abstract Objectives: A casecontrol observational study to investigate the correlation between serum vitamin B12 levels and depressive symptoms severity using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS17) in 60 individuals with clinical depression and 60 healthy controls

High-dose oral B12 (1,000 to 2,000 mcg daily) can actually correct deficiency even in some people with poor absorption, because a small percentage of B12 is absorbed passively (without intrinsic factor)
These mechanisms are studied exclusively in experimental environments to better understand peptide-mediated signaling behavior at the molecular level
