Brief Summary  
This is a randomised crossover study assessing the dose dependency of vitamin B12 on its intestinal absorption in normal individuals. Each participant will receive 3 doses of B12 ,i.e, 2.5, 5 and 10mcg on 3 different days  separated by a washout period of 10 days between each dose to ensure the plasma enrichment of B12 reaches pre-dosage level. The primary objective  of the study is to determine the absorption of B12 at the three different intake doses . The secondary objective is to investigate the relationship between plasma B12 concentration at screening and the absorption of B12 at the normal daily intake dose of 2.5 µg. Post dosing blood samples  will be collected at 1st hour  followed by hourly collection from 5  to 7 hours. Blood samples will be analysed within 96 hours. Correlation between amount of B12 dose ingested and its bioavailability will be established.
