What is B12?

Vitamin B12 plays a vital role in many bodily systems, such as the production of cellular energy and DNA synthesis. A range of factors can influence absorption rates of B12, which can result in the development of B12 deficiency. To address this, individuals can take a range of supplements such as oral B12 sprays.

Cobalamin, most commonly known as B12, is a water-soluble vitamin that comes in a variety of forms such as hydroxyl-, cyano-, deoxyadenosyl, and methyl-cobalamin. Cyanocobalamin is typically found in low concentrations in animal products, such as eggs, dairy and red meat, and is used in supplements.
