What the interaction means

The NIH ODS vitamin B12 fact sheet's interactions section names only gastric acid inhibitors and metformin -- calcium is not named. Calcium's own NIH fact sheet does not name vitamin B12.

No documented interaction was identified in the authoritative sources reviewed. This is not a guarantee that no interaction exists for every dose, formulation, or individual -- it means the sources checked did not document one.

Practical context

Both substances' own current NIH fact sheets were checked directly, full text, in both directions.
