Yes, I agree.  Those animals (people) with poor digestion, unable to
absorb B-12 from the bacteria living in their gut, need either to improve
their digestion so that they can absorb this B-12 (by fasting or
whatever), to eat other healthy animals (or their products) that do have
sufficient digestive power to assimilate B-12, or to find some other way
to get their B-12 (pills, nasal sprays, shots).
