Thank you for communicating, I appreciate the creative wordplay in your username!

For all eternity, I believe, we can very well aim towards fueling our metabolisms (popularly referred to as eating) kindly, thus; ethically, and completely vegan.

While indeed presently beginning wherever, and with whatever we can. All the best! • ♡ ☻ ❂

Shift (an electronics company located in a German town (maybe even village, I don’t know the specifics for sure) might evolve that way. For now they create electrical bikes among many other interesting products and concepts (such as unversal computing, needing only a phone to provide the computing power for a laptop to double as laptop).

Here’s the bikes they create. (I’m in no way legally affiliated to them) I just encourage what they work on.

Hahaha lovely! 🫀💚 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

Thank you kindly for sharing, I hadn’t considered that! That makes complete sense.

I assume bioavailability might favor the ancient practice of natural symbiosis of bacteria with plants in their natural habitat anyways, and acknowledge we can certainly recreate such environment well to farm vitamin B12 specifically.

The large range of nutrients accounts to me favoring chlorella over other options.

Yes! Open Source Cars, Please!

Anecdotally:

I have watched a ~3 minute video on B12 availability somewhere within the past 6 months.

It entailed that B12 gets mainly produced by symbiotic plants and used to naturally be in humans’ and plants’ diets. According to the video due to the antibacterial and anti ‘this that and the other’ chemical treatments we treat our produce with, the B12 produced by the bacteria disappeared in our produce.

It absolutely impacted me hearing that (again, according to that video) the B12 in animals and their produce mostly gets added by supplements into their diets (since the plants we feed them don’t contain the B12 vitamins anymore due to pesticides and such) which means (according to the video) most of the “natural” B12 in animals is chemically produced B12 and only B12 of plants which can live symbiotically with certain bacteria contain “natural” vitamin B12.

Thank you <3 You too!

Thank you kindly. That was my first ever comment on here, and any Lemmy instance. I hope the further comments I just posted get perceived as constructive as I intended them too. I (just) aim to share valid information.

Yes! (And combined with earths nutrients)

As alluded to in further comments, certain plants do naturally contain vitamin B12 (seemingly produced by bacteria in their environment).

Wondering how the price of the camel with solar panel compares to this EV

Anyways, chlorella (to my knowledge) does naturally contain vitamin B12 produced by bacteria in chlorella’s habitats. So even seems completely natural to me.

you already answered so well, I could’ve saved some time had I noticed it before :)

in short: I assume chlorella is more cost-effective for you and producers, and more aligned with our environment.

When you want to, I can recommend to further look into it, and there probably is a lot I did not mention: Chlorella, in natural circumstances, contains vitamin B12 — seemingly synthesized by bacteriae in chlorella’s habitat — and according to the publication (I linked below) even contains precursors to, ánd vitamin D(2) itself.

It has an outstanding nutrient profile — as mentioned in a previous comment 3g of it fulfills the Reference Daily Intake (RDI) of B12.

I will follow up with a few assumptions mixed with references and a quote from the study regarding advantages of chlorella:

• I see the more natural way of chlorella production as an advantage.
• I assume it grows cost-effective as it “can be mass-cultured” (according to the linked publication).
• It contains a super dense and rich nutrient profile, covering a wide variety of micronutrients as the publication shows — a more convenient view on the (micro-)nutrients and how they relate to RDI can easily get accessed with a (Brave) Leo Community Intelligence prompt (yes, I refer to ‘AI’ that way) or any other Community Intelligence prompt.
• I (not knowing the prices of fabricated supplements) assume it costs less for the consumer to add 3g of algae to the diet than a plethora of pills to cover all the nutrients chlorella provides.

Bonus: As also mentioned in the publication: shiitake and other mushrooms can contain Vitamin D after Sun (or other UV-light exposure). I see a complete plant-based, natural, and vegan diet as perfectly possible and eat that way myself, pretty happily so.

I hope I provided valuable assistance in any way.

Just drank the extended mix again. The good taste surprised me once again. The different components add interesting layers and blends of taste. The olive oil goes well with the algae. The agave syrup made it feel warm and added sweetness. The citrus juices add freshness.

Hi, I used 3g of chlorella/day which contains 100% of Reference Daily Intake (RDI) of vitamin B12.

When I received my blood results (circa 7 months ago) the medical practitioner seemed suprised by my — to them seemingly unexpected — b12 scores.

I can fully recommend 3g of chlorella powder a day. I mix it with 3 grams spirulina, ~3g salt, some lemon juice, add cooked water to it and drink it as first drink after rising. The salt and lemon makes it taste more pleasent to me.

P.S. Past week I did an extended mix where I added lime juice, olive oil, and agave syrup. Somehow I truly enjoyed the taste. 😀 🫀 💚
