It is vegan. I did the research and have made successful cashew yogurt with it.

Since the label does say there is substantial Vit B-12 in this product it folows it MUST be fortified with B12. Nutritional yeast is often used by vegans & vegetarians who sometimes need B12 supplementation their diets with vitamin B12. The yeast colonies cannot produce B12, which is only naturally produced by bacteria. Some brands of nutritional yeast, including this one are fortified with vitamin B12. When fortified, the vitamin B12 is produced separately (commonly cyanocobalamin) and then added to the yeast.

It's not vegan, the capsule is gelatin. They do sell a vegetarian version, but instead of gelatin it's made of carrageenan (+ other ingredients).

I really don't see B12 as being for energy. I am working with an MTHFR defect and this directly replaces the B12 that the enzyme is deficient in recycling. If you plan on using this as a cheap alternative to energy drinks you will probably be disappointed. I do know of people who were vegan and low on B12 without knowing so until diagnosed with neurological problems. Metylcobalamine is the actual type of B12 that the body uses, it does not need to be converted to another form to be active in the methylation cycle.

I'm sorry I don't know. I didn't re-order the item and do not have the bottle to look at for you. One of the Vegan vitamins I ordered said the outer shell was free of animal products, so I guess that made it Vegan. Good luck finding what you want.

No, actually it is NOT vegan. It contains palmitate which is a form of palm oil. Palm oil is highly destructive of localized animal habitats - especially orangutans who are an endangered species and only live in a very limited area.

No that is not correct. Plants or Animals do not contain Vit B12. Animals generate Vit B12 using their gut bacteria in the digestive process and then the B12 is absorbed in to the meat. The same for eggs too as Chickens have the same bacteria in their guts. In humans this bacteria reside too far down in the colon and therefore cannot produce the Vit B12 at a level in the gut where the vitamin could be absorbed. Vitamin B12 supplements in Methylcobalamin or Cyanocobalamin form are actually better to get the proper amounts of Vit B12 into our bodies as the animal protein based B12 comes with an intake of Cholesterol and other not so healthy baggage.

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.

I would consider it a b vitamin mix. It has 20 mg organic fruit & vegatable blend included & probiotic enzyme blend at 100 mg. I take a daily green smoothie or 2 so I consider most of my vitamin needs met & discontinued my multi vitamin but had to find my b vitamins as a supplement since they are not readily available in a vegan diet.
