Question:

Is there a a B12 vitaman that is Vegan?

I've seen lots of B12 Supplements witch contain Milk. Can anyone tell me which one is vegan friendly. Thanks.


Answers:

The key to any vitamin, esp., B12 which is rather a complex nutrient to absorb, is how much is absorbed. Many vitamins list outrageous amounts above the MDR, but the key statistic is how much is absorbable.

So while someone mentions a vegan friendly B12 of 16666% of the MDR, that which is absorbably may only come out to 100% of the MDR. So whomever suggested "breaking off a little", needs to clarify the information and may in fact be subtlely B12 deficient.

The fine print and statistics on supplements is really tricky.
