Yes, 100% vegan. It is made from bacteria formed from saccharomyces cerevisae. This is the best known vegetarian source of Vitamin B-12.

Q: Which form of B12 is it? The methylcobalamin or the cyanocobalamin form - which is less expensive to make but not as effective?

On the front of the bottle and on the front of the box, is says in both places that it is Vegan Methylcobalmin. Also, at the top of this page under the "About this item" the very first bullet point states, "...b12 as methylcobalmin..." So, this is the methylcobalmin form, which is said to be the best, the other type, Cyanocobalamin, is synthetic.

Q: Is this the methylcobalamin form?

Swanson lied. No fruits/vegetables contain B-12 in any human-usable form (Except for VERY small amounts in certain types of tempeh & nori). Not even the nutritional yeast they claim sources it on the nutrition label (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The only guaranteed way to get it is from meat, fish, milk, or eggs (non-vegan)... Created in a lab directly (usually Cyanocobalamin which leaves cyanide accumulation in the body... Though it CAN be further altered with other chemicals to turn into Methylcobalamin, though then that's still not food-sourced)... Or certain bacteria which can produce Methylcobalamin as a by-product of being fed certain compounds in a controlled environment. Nutritional yeast doesn't naturally contain B-12; it's always either not present, or fortified manually, & that's USUALLY the synthetic Cyanocobalamin version, unless the company making that yeast specifies that they added Methylcobalamin instead from some other source. So either this company/seller is using pre-packaged fortified nutritional yeast from another company & mistakenly thinking the B-12 came with it naturally, thus they don't know much about their own resources... Or, they make their own nutritional yeast & are lying about the B-12's source, nature, compound, or maybe even about it being there at all. We need real answers.

Q: Why packaged in such a large bottle, with only about 25% filled with the B-12? Seems very wasteful.

Yes I agree. I have a subscription for this and it is super wasteful. Would gladly pay more to get a full bottle.
