Can Low Vitamin B 12 Cause Carnitine Issue?
I note a LOT of b12 issues, yet no answers like, perhaps it's pernicious anemia. ( For us non- Dr.'s it's a form of anemia that keeps you from absorbing b12 properly, causing you to need b12 shots.) In addition, this is under the category, can a low b12 count cause a low carnitine count. I see no answers on that one, and it's the answer I'm trying to find. So, can a low b12 count cause a primary or secondary carnitine issue?
