The B12 goes into muscle tissue and moves into your blood without needing acid, intrinsic factor, or a working gut
Another proposed mechanism involves competing interactions at growth factor receptor sites
Vitamin B12 then joins with a protein known as the intrinsic factor to be absorbed farther down in the small intestine
There's no strong theoretical reason to weight angiogenesis more heavily than cell migration (or vice versa) in tissue-repair research both are prerequisites for repair, both contribute distinct mechanisms, and neither obviously dominates the other in published research models
In research settings, it is investigated for its interactions with angiogenic and inflammatory pathways, making it a subject of interest in studies on cellular response and recovery models
