Vitamin B12 in Vega Health Optimizer (What is the source???)
This is perhaps a question that Kelly is best equipped to answer.
I am curious as to the source of the vitamin B12 in the Vega health optimizer.
Why? Algae contains B12, but it is not Bio-Available (the body cannot use it). And since my hunch is that the referenced B12 on the nutritional information is on account of the Chlorella in the formula, it is in fact non bio-available B12, and therefore one should not rely on this as a source of B12 vitamins. This is of particular concern for true vegans who are more likely than the rest of the population to experience a deficiency due to lack of meat in the diet.
Perhaps someone at Vega can clarify this.
Thanks!

Just eat about 3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast a day, and your vega you will get all you need. Just don't mix it in your vega, I don't know if that would taste to good?
