- Hydroxycobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that supports the body's ability to process carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
- Assists in the production of red blood cells.
- Hydroxy B12 contributes to overall health maintenance.
- Helps prevent deficiencies in vitamin B12.
Vitamin B12 is crucial for brain and nervous system health, supporting red blood cell and DNA formation, and playing an essential role in vital biological pathways, specifically the methylation cycles. Despite its importance, B12 deficiencies are common, especially among vegetarians, individuals over 50, and those with malabsorption or gastrointestinal issues.
Many vitamins, including B12, are not in their active form as found in food or typical supplements. For these vitamins to perform their biological functions, the body must convert them into their coenzyme forms. Traditional supplemental B12 is often in the form of cyanocobalamin, which requires a multi-step conversion process to transform into the active forms, adenosylcobalamin or methylcobalamin. Hydroxocobalamin, a unique form of B12, is more readily converted into these active forms, allowing individuals to meet their needs for both adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin efficiently.
