Vitamin B12, Cobalamin, HydroxocobalaminÂ
Hydroxocobalamin is a unique form of vitamin B12 which is more readily converted into the active coenzyme forms of B12 – adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin, than conventional cyanocobalamin. Hydroxocobalamin bypasses a step of this conversion and is therefore more readily turned into an active and useful form. Both active forms serve different but important functions in the body meaning that individuals who may not know which form they are deficient in can still benefit by supplementing with the hydroxo form.   Â

Ingredient Benefits
Helps to form healthy red blood cells
The lack of B12 can cause the body to make overly large red blood cells that are unable to function properly. This reduces the ability for hemoglobin to attach and carry oxygen around the body.
Supports detoxification pathways
Hydroxocobalamin has been effective in clearing toxins, and it is more readily converted into the active coenzyme forms of B12 than conventional cyanocobalamin.
Easily converts to methylcobalamin (B12 form easily used by the body)
Hydroxocobalamin is the clinical standard for treating B12 deficiency. It is the most common form in doctorâs offices and clinics for injections, treating deficiency. The reason being that it forms both adenosyl and methyl cobalamin. Thus, when a B12 deficiency is clinically supported but not corroborated with lab tests – treatment with the precursor to both forms is safe and effective. This form is particularly effective in individuals who do not respond well to methylcobalamin forms (hyper stimulated) as a result of their genetic polymorphisms.Â
