Re: https://www.b12-vitamin.com/algae/ Nb. "So far it has only been found underwater: algae have emerged as the sole candidate for a vegan vitamin B12 solution. Even so, the situation is complex and the research positions on this subject have frequently changed over the past decades, leading to many false reports. In previous tests, almost all algae revealed vitamin B12 analogues instead of the real thing. Analogues are not only ineffective, but also potentially dangerous. Most researchers have consequently dismissed algae as a B12 source and recommend natural B12 supplements as a safe alternative. Despite this, there is one algae called chlorella which could be the building block of a genuine vegan B12 supply. Vitamin B12 in Algae: Real or Analogue? In order to properly understand the discussion about the B12 content of algae, it is important to first take a closer look at analogues. Also known as pseudo B12, analogues are molecules which are so chemically similar to real B12 that they bond to the same transport molecule. In contrast, however, they have no vitamin effect on the body whatsoever. This is detrimental to health, as only real B12 that is bound to this specific transport molecule can be used by the body. When B12 analogues bind to this transport molecule, even when there is a very good dietary supply of the vitamin, B12 deficiency can occur, as the real vitamin simply cannot be transported and utilised.
