Cyanocobalamin 1% (Mannitol 99%) (Vitamin B12)
What is Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12)? Cyanocobalamin is one of several forms of cobalamin that fall under the blanket term Vitamin B12. The cobalamin vitamers exert similar effects, but cyanocobalamin is the most stable when exposed to air and the easiest to purify. As indicated by the name, cyanocobalamin contains cobalt. It converts easily into adenosylcobalamin or methylcobalamin upon ingestion—the active forms of vitamin B12. The body cannot synthesize vitamin B12, but, as an essential vitamin, it’s necessary to sustain life. The body relies on dietary sources of B12 to meet its nutritional needs. Vitamin B12 is the most chemically complex of all vitamins, and it serves numerous biological functions. Some examples include synthesizing DNA, metabolizing fatty acids and amino acids, synthesizing myelin to protect nerves, producing red blood cells, and more. Like a
