Intrisic factor is produced by specific cells in the stomach. the product of intrinsitc factor is the ONLY indispensible function of he stomach itself.

That is why people who have their stomach removed for whatever reason must take oral intrinisc factor. People who have to tak B12 injections typically have to take oral intrinsic factor as well.

So now your whole explaination of liver B12 and muscle growth falls apart. The liver stores B12, maybe you got that confused with intrinic factor?

But all meat, esspecailly red meat have Iron and B12, not just liver.

You are right, intrinsic factor is NOT in the liver, it is in the stomach. As always, your feedback and corrections are appreciated.

Intrinsic factor is needed for oral absorption, not for injections, this is why injections are the treatment for people who lack intrinsic factor. They do need need intrinsic factor when the B12 is injected UNLESS they are trying to augment supplementation orally as well.

The blood-building properties, however, go beyond the simple B12 - I was actually hoping to update the article prior to publication, because of information I only recently found (not new information, just new to me). Since you are very knowledgeable, Eric (and I do not mean that sarcastically) can you tell me your thoughts on cytochrome P-456, a protein enzyme found in liver extract?

Thanks,

Jeremy
