Detailed Analysis
Taking caffeine and Vitamin B12 together may reduce the amount of Vitamin B12 your body absorbs. This could potentially lead to lower Vitamin B12 levels over time. However, the effect is generally considered mild. Caffeine may interfere with Vitamin B12 absorption by affecting the intrinsic factor, a protein in the stomach that helps absorb Vitamin B12. While the exact mechanism is not fully understood, it's thought that caffeine may reduce the production or effectiveness of intrinsic factor.
