Why do they make Marmite and Vegemite because they are such similar products?

The same reason they make Coke and Pepsi, because someone wants to sell them and the difference is enough to create a market. Further details: Marmite originated in ancient Egypt, believe it or not, as a by-product of brewing beer. The ancient Egyptians actually used it for both medicinal purposes, and as a spread. So the concept has been around for a long time - the difference is that a shortage of imported yeast spreads in Australia during WWI initiated the impetus for the Australian food technicians to fill the niche.

No. Vitamin B12 intake for vegetarians is essentially zero, unless they intentionally take supplements containing it (or eat something like Marmite, to which B12 is intentionally added).

There are compounds similar to B12 in some plant products; unfortunately, while they're similar enough to fool simple tests for B12, they're not similar enough to be biologically active.

It is healthy and nutritious, it is made from yeast extract and contains niacin, thiamine, riboflavin and folate. Many Australian kids (including myself) have grown up on it since 1923. Go out and get a jar and find out what you have been missing out on since 1923.
