Q. What is the cause of vitamin B12 deficiency?
Deficiency of vitamin B12 could be due to poor dietary intake, pernicious anemia (as it leads to poor absorption of vitamin B12) and certain types of stomach related surgeries, such as weight loss surgery or any surgery of the intestines).

Consult your doctor if you have or ever had any of these issues.
