Adenosyl/Hydroxy B12 (Vitamin B12)

90 capsules

Hydroxycobalamin is a precursor form of vitamin B₁₂ converted in the body to both methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. Adenosylcobalamin is an activated form of B12, making it immediately available for use in the body (as is methylcobalamin). While methylcobalamin is found in the cytosol of cells and predominates in blood and other fluids, adenosylcobalamin is the major form of vitamin B₁₂ stored in the mitochondria of cellular tissues.

Adenosylcobalamin is the co-enzyme for the conversion of methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA. This is a key reaction in one of the pathways  of the citric acid cycle. It is therefore crucial to the normal process of gluconeogenesis.

Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, to normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal homocysteine metabolism.

Vitamin B12 also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It is essential for normal immune function and psychological function, and is essential in the production of red blood cells.
