What's the source of B12? I get nervous about "vegetarian" anything when it comes to B12...

Methylcobalamin is equivalent physiologically to vitamin B12, and can be used to prevent or treat pathology arising from a lack of vitamin B12 (vitamin B12 deficiency), such as pernicious anemia. Methylcobalamin is also used in the treatment of peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, and as a preliminary treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Sorry. I don't know. I've had great luck contacting the company directly and asking.

I do not think it's vegetarian as my sister is vegetarian and she refused to take them. I am not a veg. and love them. They keep me calm and feeling well.

I would say no as there is no mention of any vitamins on the label. Vitamin B 12 is found in animal proteins and this product is entirely vegetarian.

vitamin B12 is an organic compound that contains cobalt. You should Google the term to find out more details. A simple blood test ordered by your doctor can tell you if you are deficient and need to take additional B12. Vegans frequently do not receive enough B12 in their diets and must add B12.

I'm not even sure if your question makes sense. It's an amino acid. You could get it from any protein source with the right components. It might even be completely synthetic. It's kind of like asking if this is the vegetarian carbon.

Everyone - this is what I want to know and I will be contacting the company to find out. I want to know what is NOT on the label nor on their website nor could the guy at Whole Foods give a definitive answer (he's waiting to hear back from me on this) when he spoke to the company.If they source from cows that are injected with rBST - I want nothing to do with it. It's important. Why would I drink what I won't eat in my beef?If anyone has heard from the company on this, I think all of us should know.

I'm sorry, I used it all and I don't have the package. I'd not heard of the form of B12 you were asking about and looked it up. The new one I'm using, the kirkland brand from Costco is that. I realized what to look for thanks to you and now more informed. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

That's a good question and also one that makes this product's claims hard to believe. I think commercially B12 only comes from a process of industrial bacterial biosynthesis which I don't think can be 100% natural. Wonder if this still means this product is vegan or natural as they claim.This is exactly the point of my review I wrote for this supplement a few weeks ago.

I am a vegan. Make sure you have a little something in you stomach. Put the contents on some mashed banana or some type of food, if you can't tolerate the taste. Also know, it goes into your system more quickly. I no longer use it.

Greetings....their B-12 is a result of cultivating certain raw elements and is unlike anything on the market. If you go to www.rawvitamins.com you can get a comprehensive answer. Also, their Vitamin D3 I take also because it is a result of using cultivated raw vegetables (mushrooms, I believe0 and it the best product on the market. That, too, is explained at the above website. Enjoy!! Fred

The product isn't certified by the vegan society, however I have yet to find a b12 supplement that's endorsed specifically. The ingredients besides obviously Methylcobalamin are purified water, vegetable glycerin, and potassium sorbate. As a long time vegan I trust this product :)

I am quite sure it is from an animal source. It is often recommended to vegetarians and vegans because it is important to many bodily functions. I just know for sure that it is critical to cardiovascular health.

Mr/Ms. JB: vegans CHOOSE not to consume any body part of anything that ever moved about of its own accord, nor anything secreted from them! ;>Just FYI--know is pow

Recommend Deva Vegan Vitamins Vegan Tiny Tab Multivitamin & Mineral instead with 100% B12. I've been a vegan for 40 years and haven't had any B12 issues.

Not true! I put it in my review of the product too, but I have been taking this vitamin off an on 2-4 times a week for about 5 months and my B12 has gone from 90 to 491 on a strict vegan diet. The vitamins are working great for me.
