Vitamin B-12 is one of the most common ingredients in energy drinks and pre-workouts. It is often touted as natural. But is it really?
Of course Vitamin B-12 does naturally occur in many foods such as beef liver, eggs, salmon, tuna, and sardines. However, you may notice a pattern. Yep, 99% of B-12 sources are from animal products. This vegans have a hard time getting enough (or any) in their diet.
Enter synthetic vitamin b-12.
Ever wonder how synthetic Vitamin B-12 is made? The answer may surprise you.
Vitamin B-12 is produced by a complex microbial fermentation process, utilizing genetically modified bacteria strains such as E. coli. These bacterium are genetically modified to excrete the vitamin. . . YUM. And possibly the best part, the final product: cyanocobalamin, may also contain trace amounts of cyanide!
Starting to see why HippieLit has chosen a different path?
Bioavailability of synthetic B-12 is questionable. In fact, it can even lead to the jittery feelings of anxiety that most people blame on caffeine. We get it; caffeine has its own jittery reputation, especially when sourced synthetically. Synthetic B-12 seems to tag along on that jittery train, and we're not fans.
We believe the best nutrition is from whole foods.
So we leave the B-12 to the foods in which it comes. We avoid the added jitters and trace amounts of cyanide.
Instead we use just four main ingredients. Whole food. And they work!
