deficiency may be the most important factor in causing arthritis, osteoporosis and tooth decay today.
Vitamin B12
deficiency is caused by a wide range of factors including low gastric acidity (common in older people,) use of acid blockers or excessive laxative use, lack of intrinsic factor, poor absorption

deficiency causes the parathyroids to become overactive, releasing too much parathyroid hormone which raises the blood level of
calcium by releasing
calcium from bones and teeth.
