question about B12

August 7, 2000

I am wondering if anybody can give me more info about getting

purely

vegan vitamin B12. Right now I am taking a B-complex vitamin

manufactured by Solgar. It says on the label: suitable for

vegetarians. but I'm not sure if this means it's completely vegan or

not. It does also say that they are free of dairy products, but

again, I'm not sure if this means that it's completely free of animal

products. The only ingredients I'm not sure about are Brewer's Yeast

(including inositol, choline), and Dicalcium Phosphate. I'm not sure

where these come from. All other ingredients appear to come from

vegetable sources. Any knowledge shared about this product or about

other brands of B-vitamins that are completely vegan would be greatly

appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Jack;

I am not sure of where you live, but I will tell you what I do for B12. I

take a pure B12 sublingual " dot " . It is only B12. It dissolves in a few second

under the tongue (sublingual). It's brand here is called " Natural Brand "

distributed by 1.0 Shadow Marketing Group Ltd., Vancouver BC, V5N 1W4 Canada.

If you are in the States, I'm sure you can get a sublingual brand there.
