You might try doing the same.

There is no plant-based source of B12 on this planet. It is literally bacterial crap produced by symbiotic bacteria living in our intestine, and that bacteria only digests meat and animal proteins.

It's not fortified dumbass it's created by the microbateria on the roots but it is in analogue form which is not as good as active form so yeah you're wrong.

Because nutritional yeast is often used by vegans, who usually need to supplement their diets with vitamin B12, there has been confusion about the source of the B12 in nutritional yeast. Although yeast is closer to animals than plants in their genome and metabolism, they cannot produce B12, which is only naturally produced by bacteria. Some brands of nutritional yeast, though not all, are fortified with vitamin B12. When fortified, the vitamin B12 is produced separately (commonly Cyanocobalamin) and then added to the yeast.


Although some species of bacteria that can produce B12 could potentially grow along with S. cerevisiae in the wild, commercially produced nutritional yeast is grown in controlled conditions that would normally not allow those bacteria to grow. Therefore, nutritional yeast should not be relied upon as a source of B12 unless it is fortified.

Nutritional Yeast is grown in labs as a commercial product. As such, it doesn't have "microbateria" on the roots.
