Function of cyanocobalamin
The prototype of a naturally occurring family of cobalt coordination compounds is called a collinoid. Vitamin B12 analogues differ only in the beta-ligand of cobalt, called cobalamin. It's almost entirely made by bacteria. Dietary sources include fish, meat, liver and dairy products; Plants have little or no cobalamin. The body converts this into bioactive forms, methylcobalamin and cobalamin, which act as enzyme cofactors. Severe deficiency may lead to megaloblastic anemia and/or neurological dysfunction.

cyanocobalamin is mainly used in the treatment of various VB12 deficiency diseases, such as the treatment of megaloblastocytic anemia, anemia caused by drug poisoning, aplastic anemia and leukopenia; Combined with pantothenic acid, can prevent pernicious anemia, help to absorb Fe2+ and gastric acid secretion; It is also used to treat arthritis, facial palsy, trigeminal neuralgia, hepatitis, herpes, asthma and other allergies, atopic dermatitis, measles, eczema and bursitis; VB12 can also be used in the treatment of neuroticism, irritability, insomnia, memory loss, depression.
