The main cause of vitamin B-12 deficiency is inadequate intrinsic factor secretion which occurs in pernicious anemia (an autoimmune disease) and in atrophic gastritis (in the elderly).
Vitamin B-12 deficiency rarely occurs from low dietary intake, because the absorbed vitamin is secreted in bile and subsequently reabsorbed, so deficiency symptoms can take 20 years to develop from low intakes, e.g., in strict vegetarians.
Intramuscular injections of 100 µg are usually given once/month to individuals who cannot absorb the vitamin through their intestine, because of pernicious anemia or other problems.
