The easy solution to this is when eating microwaved foods make sure you eat 30-40% more
How much is absorbed varys from person to person because it depends on the amount of stomach acidity and the efficiency of the colon.

By the way - stomach acid is needed for this - drugs to limit acid can cause B12 deficiency (and nasty illnesses follow)

Why buy and microwave an 8oz steak when it is only worth 4 1/2oz?, better to grill it and get your moneys worth.
