- If vitamin B12 is not absorbed effectively and in sufficiency amounts, then this can lead to a deficiency. Therefore those with a digestive disorder could require some supplementation.
- Low stomach acid production and therefore antacids and medications which reduce stomach acid formation. These may cause vitamin B12 to not be absorbed into the system due to food in the digestive system not being broken down sufficiency

Organic standards help lower risk of contaminated feed and organic beef usually has higher nutrient quality. However, remember that organic by itself does not guarantee a natural lifestyle for the beef cows
.Go beyond organic by asking for 100% grass-fed. Don't get sidetracked by the confusing array of labeling terms like natural" or "pasture-raised." Labeling laws allow products to display these terms even if cows spend little or no time outdoors in a pasture setting
Organic, 100% grass-fed beef may be available from local farms with small flocks, which provide a natural lifestyle for their cows
