Some studies suggest that people with obesity may be more likely to have a vitamin B12 deficiency
However, for B12, if any part of that complex digestive process is compromised especially the intrinsic factor or the absorption sites in the intestine then a significant portion of the B12 from a tablet might never reach your bloodstream

While additional studies are needed to determine whether elevated vitamin B 12 status may be related to cancer development, including evaluating whether it might be a potential marker of cancer, it is important for observational studies to adequately control for potential confounders, such as age, menopausal status, alcohol use, and intake of the B-vitamin folate
A deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakness, and neurological issues like numbness or tingling
