Product Overview
Cyanocobalamin (B12) Description1
Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form of vitamin B12 that supports multiple methylation reactions in the body. It is required for growth, cell replication, hematopoiesis, and the synthesis of nucleoproteins and myelin. Tissues with rapid cellular turnover, such as epithelial tissue, bone marrow, and myeloid cells, have the highest demand for cyanocobalamin.
Cyanocobalamin has numerous approved indications, many of which involve conditions that result in cyanocobalamin deficiency due to impaired absorption, including:
Cyanocobalamin can be administered via intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SC) routes.
Mechanism of Action1-3
Vitamin B12 is important for division and growth of the cell. It is converted to coenzyme B12 in the body and in this form facilitates the conversion of homocysteine to methionine (methylcobalamin) and plays an important role in converting methylmalonyl-coenzyme A to succinyl-Co-A (fatty acid and amino acid metabolism). Without coenzyme B12, tetrahydrofolate cannot be produced from 5-methyl tetrahydrofolate leading to folate deficiency. In addition, vitamin B12 is needed to produce myelin and is important for axon and nerve development. Gastrointestinal absorption of vitamin B12 depends on the presence of sufficient intrinsic factor and calcium ions.
