Hi Aaron.. I have no judgments with whatever anyone chooses to believe and do as their choice. And I believe my body will produce vit B12 whenever necessary or any other nutrients my body needs. I take no supplements, and have been a vegetarian, and vegan for years. And if I choose to change back to flesh eating I feel free to do so, not out of fear of lacking something nutritionally, but out of my choice for the enjoyment of eating it. I'm also a clinical hypnotherapist, and past-life regressionist, and tests made with thousands of people under hypnosis has proven the body will make nutrients that it needs, or believes is necessary to exist, under hypnosis. There are many documented cases of this available. And I believe for myself, all eating is for the pleasure, & the camaraderie, of being with friends and the group participation. And privately, & personally.. for my own pleasure. I'm also looking into Breatharianism as an alternative way of being. Which is adapting the body to living on the Prana energy that is everywhere. There are currently over 20,000 practicing breatharian's in the world. I have been following Ray Maor (from Israel) and Akahi for 6 yrs. http://akahmi.com/ & https://youtu.be/QhBpdGxmMCU
There are many available choices.. and we are each the chooser of what we believe will be our experience. And as an Adept wanderer, I get to choose whatever is in alignment with my knowing. From a 6th dimensional reality, we are unlimited... and Breatharianism can be a way to end hunger, and dis-eases, and many other limitations. Its something to look at, as we expand in consciousness...
Namaste, Creighton

Quote:"There are a few important differences between these different forms of B12. Firstly, you have to understand that humans cannot produce their own vitamin B12, and nor can any other plant or animal or fungus. This means we have to get all of our B12 from our diets. But where does it come from in the first place?
Only bacteria have the ability to synthesize this vitamin, so all the B12 you’ve ever ingested was originally produced by a bacterium somewhere. All animals have bacteria living in and on them (a situation referred to as ‘bacterial symbiosis’), and as a result the food we eat will often contain B12, especially animal products.
The awkward part is that the bacteria only produce hydroxocobalamin. This wouldn’t be a problem, except this type of B12 isn’t actually of any use to us in itself. Before we can reap the benefits of this essential vitamin, we have to convert the hydroxocobalamin into one of the so-called ‘active’ forms of B12 – either methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin, which your body is capable of switching between if necessary."
Basically, from the 10 minutes of internet searching I performed, which uncovered the quoted article, among a few others, has lead me to form an opinion which I can now share. My opinion is thus: to ensure an efficient level of B12 production and absorption in a vegetarian body, one must be consuming a moderate level of fermented foods, so that the bacteria in that food will be producing B12 before they pass into the large intestine, where B12 can no longer be absorbed.
Basically, you gotta make sure your small intestine is well cultured with beneficial, B12 producing bacteria. The easiest way to do this is by eating cultured, fermented foods such as kim-chi. Jade mentioned nutritional yeast. This is also a great source of energy-producing bacteria.
Of course, you could always supplement.
