It is thought that some people may be able to use B12 made in their own intestines, but this does not hold for everyone.
(antibiotics used today have disrupted just about every person on the planet).

Folic acid however IS found in green leafy veggies.

You can Google B12 and read the arguments on the net about B12 and veganism. Some vegetarians insist that B12 can come from plants still.
ALL B12 comes from micro organisms. Therefore if potatoes are cooked with a bit of the dirt they were grown in, the microorganisms in the dirt have B12 in them, as an example.
