Vitamin B12
$180.00
Description
This is methylcobalamin, one of the two coenzyme-active forms of vitamin B12, rather than the cyanocobalamin found in most supplements. B12 is a required cofactor in one-carbon metabolism and in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine — chemistry the body cannot perform without it.
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is a research compound referenced in laboratory studies of one-carbon metabolism and methylation signaling. It is used in controlled research models examining cofactor-dependent enzymatic pathways and metabolic-regulation mechanisms. Within preclinical frameworks, Vitamin B12 is investigated for its role as a cofactor in methylation and hematopoietic-signaling studies within controlled laboratory environments.
