This is from the article " MYTH #2: Vitamin B12 can be obtained from plant sources " http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foods33.php " There is no real B12 in plant sources but B12 analogues--they are similar to true B12, but not exactly the same and because of this they are not bioavailable (13). It should be noted here that these B12 analogues can impair absorption of true vitamin B12 in the body due to competitive absorption, placing vegans and vegetarians who consume lots of soy, algae, and yeast at a greater risk for a deficiency (14).
