That website is hugely misleading. I searched the thiamine and pigs comment and it is not true. Pigs are given thiamine in their feed, because thiamine is essential for them.
And as far as the sewer sludge comment, here is one way
cobalamin is made:

There are various patents listed for cobalamin manufacture from fermentation.
B12 is only made by living organisms. So it is cultured.
So are the vegan forms of DHA which is made by growing algae in vats.
Articles that slam chemistry should be avoided. Our bodies are one giant complex chemical factory with thousands of reactions going on all the time!
ALA (alpha lipoic acid) is not natural either. It is synthesized and that is why it contains a mixture of R and S forms.
