B12 is found in animal products because it's added to their diet. It doesn't come natural them. B12 you get from eating dirt, which we don't like to do.

- cfn 3y agoAre you suggesting we should eat dirt instead of meat to get B12? Ist it even bio-available to us in that format?
- lukeschlather 3y agoB12 is not actually synthesized by animals, it is synthesized by bacteria. Most grain-fed livestock are heavily supplemented as well, with industrially fermented B12. You can just get the same industrially fermented B12 we inject livestock with. You don't have to inject it though.
