Description

Hydroxocobalamin Hydrochloride is a pharmaceutical-grade, cobalt-containing compound that serves as a direct precursor to active vitamin B12 coenzymes. Its primary commercial value lies in its high stability and bioavailability, making it a critical raw material for high-quality pharmaceutical formulations. This product is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries requiring a reliable source for injectable and oral vitamin B12 supplements.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Active Ingredient (API): Primary use in the manufacture of prescription and over-the-counter vitamin B12 injections and tablets for treating deficiencies.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Key component in high-potency B-complex formulations, multivitamins, and standalone B12 supplements.
• Clinical & Hospital Formulations: Used in parenteral solutions for the treatment of pernicious anemia and other B12 malabsorption disorders.
• Veterinary Pharmaceuticals: Incorporated into animal health products for livestock and companion animals to prevent and treat B12 deficiencies.
• Research & Diagnostic Reagents: Serves as a standard and reagent in biochemical research, clinical diagnostics, and cell culture media.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: (Where regulations permit) Used for the nutritional fortification of specific food and beverage products.
