B12 is made from organisms, in a tank. But I thought they were bacteria.

Let me go look.............

The methyl is made chemically... using cyano as a base.

But..

this one for "natural" cobalamin uses fermentation and the organisms are listed:

This also says it comes from fermentation:

I wonder if one of the inert ingredients is dervived from yeast...perhaps, since this is a "vegan" friendly product.

I'd call them to be sure if this is important to you.
