Can aluminum hydroxide lead to vitamin B12 deficiency and if so, what is the mechanism behind it and how does it affect the absorption of this important nutrient over time?
Aluminum hydroxide can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency by binding with dietary phosphate, forming insoluble aluminum phosphate that reduces gastric acidity, impairing B12 absorption.
