I have to disagree with the statement that

you can’t obtain Vitamin B12 from blue-green algae. Apparently Weston Price foundation has

not done their research carefully.

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae

(AFA), the most nutrient-dense food on the planet, has been tested by

Lancaster Labs for B12 analog levels using

microbiological testing methods that are

comparable to methods 952.20 and 960.46

of the Association of Analytical Chemists (AOAC).

Vitamin B12, which is in

the corrinoid family, contains four main analogs (cyanocobalamin, hydroxycobalamin, aquacobalamin and methylcobalamin) that show significant

bioactivity. The testing results on Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, while not discerning

exactly which corrinoids are present, indicate

significant B12 activity.

Unlike other plant foods

such as Spirulina,

which contain corrinoids with virtually no vitamin B12

activity, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is a reliable source

for vegetarians seeking to supplement their diets with a

bioactive form of this important nutrient. If it is not AFA, then no – you are

not getting Vitamin B12, but are getting an analog which may contribute

to pernicious anemia. Make sure it

is AFA, then you will be getting usable B12. Also you have to be really careful when looking

for AFA – some forms of processing (such

as high heat) eliminate the B12, so make sure you get it in writing from the

company that there is bioactive B12.
