VITUS Vegan B12 + D undergoes our patented manufacturing process. The organic quinoa seeds go through a stage of germination wherein the quinoa seeds produces a biologically active form of B  VITAMINS. The sprouting quinoa acts like a vitamin factory where it converts vitamins into their biologically active form as found in nature and then finally presents you with natural B vitamins including B12 from quinoa. After conversion, some amount of the vitamins remain bound to the biologically active forms methyl and adenosyl-cobalamin.
