Sunwukung, me parece que la informacion de que dispones sobre la vitamina B12 no está actualizada. Te copio lo que dice la Sociedad Vegetariana del Reino Unido sobre la vitamina B12. Es interesante por que es breve pero muy completo en cuanto a informacion. Básicamente lo que dice es que las fuentes vegetales de vitamina B12 no pueden ser asimiladas por el ser humano. Saludos.
Vitamin B12 is a member of the vitamin B complex. It contains cobalt, and so is also known as cobalamin. It is exclusively synthesised by bacteria and is found primarily in meat, eggs and dairy products. There has been considerable research into proposed plant sources of vitamin B12. Fermented soya products, seaweeds, and algae such as spirulina have all been suggested as containing significant B12. However, the present consensus is that any B12 present in plant foods is likely to be unavailable to humans and so these foods should not be relied upon as safe sources. Many vegan foods are supplemented with B12. Vitamin B12 is necessary for the synthesis of red blood cells, the maintenance of the nervous system, and growth and development in children. Deficiency can cause anaemia. Vitamin B12 neuropathy, involving the degeneration of nerve fibres and irreversible neurological damage, can also occur.
