Andrea,
The paper you linked is a review paper, not a study measuring B12 in kombucha. They cite the claim that kombucha has B12, but their citations are not included in their list of references. I&#039;m not aware of a study showing that kombucha has vitamin B12 activity in humans, which is what&#039;s needed before someone would rely on it for vitamin B12. Please see my article, &lt;a href=&quot;https://veganhealth.org/vitamin-b12/vitamin-b12-plant-foods/&quot; rel=&quot;ugc&quot;&gt;Vitamin B12 in Plant Foods&lt;/a&gt;, for an explanation of what&#039;s required before a plant food should be considered a reliable source of B12.]]></description>

There are publications showing the high levels of b12 in Kombucha and drinking this and/or water kefir allows for ample b12 for vegans.  It’s very sad that there is so much misinformation surrounding b12.  It is a product of the fermentation process!  Below one Link but there are many available.

					<description><![CDATA[Hello, thank you for presenting this information. I have a question about kombucha. I know you stated that diets with fermented food were still insufficient to meet B12 needs; however, does your work exclude the use of kombucha? Homemade kombucha is reported to contain significant levels of B12. Thanks again]]></description>
