1️⃣ Introduction to Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin that is crucial for energy production, brain function, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation. Since the human body cannot produce Vitamin B12, it must be obtained from food sources or supplements.

At Chibio Biotech, we supply two of the most important forms of Vitamin B12:

• Cyanocobalamin (Synthetic B12)
• Mecobalamin (Methylcobalamin – Active B12)

These forms are widely used in nutritional supplements, fortified foods, pharmaceuticals, and animal nutrition.
