Most sources I found by Google search confirmed that aloe vera indeed does contain B12. However, other sources state that no plant based foods contain B12, unless they are fortified. Please help sort out the confusion.

There are probably some trace plant sources of B-12, but they likely contain only very small amounts and they may be mistaking an analogue as real B-12, or even if they are confirmed to contain some real B-12 they may contain a large amount of analogue that may interfere with absorption or otherwise confound its biological role.

It's best to be skeptical and rely on proven supplements rather than take a risk on these plant sources until they are proved to reliably reverse deficiency.
