Abstract

D-sorbitol may enhance the absorption of supraphysiologic (30 µg) and in some cases physiologic (2 µg) oral doses of vitamin B₁₂ in individuals whose ability to secrete intrinsic factor is normal. Any therapeutic utility of this agent in terms of enhancing vitamin B₁₂ absorption remains questionable.
