Cyanocobalamin (B12)

Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form of vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin. It’s a highly complex, essential vitamin that contains cobalt. Cyanocobalamin is a manufactured version of vitamin B12 and is used to treat and prevent B12 deficiency, particularly in cases where the body can’t absorb B12 from food. 

Cyanocobalamin is not naturally produced by the body. It’s created synthetically and then used in supplements and injections. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient, meaning the body needs it but can’t produce it on its own. It must be obtained from food or supplements. 

Vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis, red blood cell production, and nerve function. It also helps prevent pernicious anemia.
