Cobalt Absorption and Intrinsic Factor

  • No gastric intrinsic factor is required for the intestinal absorption of inorganic cobalt.
  • Cobalt is primarily absorbed in the small intestine via passive diffusion and other non-protein-mediated mechanisms.
  • Vitamin B12, which contains a central cobalt atom (cobalamin), does strictly require gastric intrinsic factor for its proper absorption in the terminal ileum.
  • Confusion often arises because people conflate the absorption mechanisms of elemental cobalt with the specific transport requirements of the intact vitamin B12 molecule.
