As human body cannot produce these vitamins, the improper or unhealthy diet may cause its deficiency. The deficiency may also occur due to the improper functioning of your stomach that causes mal-absorption of B12 vitamins.

There are many ways to make up this deficiency through oral supplements or injections. It will depend upon the natural process of one’s body to absorb these vitamins from tablets. About 20% of nutrients are allowed to enter the blood stream after absorption that is insufficient for the maintenance of proper body functioning.
