Where does Vitamin B12 come from?!
AND is it suitible for vegetarians!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Vitamin B12 is found primarily in meat, dairy products and eggs and is absent from plant foods!. Considerable research has been carried out into possible plant sources of B12!. Fermented soya products, seaweeds and algae such as spirulina have all been proposed as containing significant amounts of B12!. However, the present consensus is that any B12 present in plant foods is likely to be in a form unavailable to humans and so these foods should not be relied upon as safe sources!.
Vitamin B12 is important in the formation of red blood cells and the maintenence of a healthy nervous system!. When deficiency does occur it is more likely to be due to a failure to absorb B12 from the intestine than a dietary deficiency!.
Vegans can obtain B12 from a wide range of foods which have been fortified with the vitamin!. These include certain yeast extracts, veggieburger mixes, breakfast cereals, vegetable margarines and soya milks!. You should check the packaging to see which individual products are fortified with B12!.

Vitamin B12 is made by a bacterium!. The bacteria incubate in the intestinal tracts of animals and animal foods are imparted with the vitamin they create!. Humans incubate the bacteria also, but it live too far down in our digestive tracts for us to absorb the B12!. Humans used to be able to get B12 from root vegetables grown in healthy soil, but most commercially grown vegetables are grown in soil that's been rendered sterile by chemical pesticides and fertilizers (well, that and the fact that we tend to wash our veggies!) Supplemental vitamin B12 (in vitamins and fortified foods) is made by the exact same bacterium, but it's cultured on a sterile, vegetarian-friendly substrate in a lab, instead of in the gut of a cow!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Vegetarian sources- dairy products and eggs!.
Vegan sources- fortified breakfast cereals, fortified soy milk, supplement!. The only reliable vegan souces of this vitamin are fortified foods and beverages!. B12 is often added to dairy free milks!. Getting enough B12 is not a problem for well informed veg*ns!.
