What it is

Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form of vitamin B12, an essential nutrient. It is typically produced through bacterial fermentation and then chemically synthesized. Vitamin B12 is crucial for nerve function, red blood cell formation, and DNA synthesis.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add cyanocobalamin to fortify foods, meaning they add it to increase the nutritional value. It is commonly found in breakfast cereals, energy bars, and some plant-based milk alternatives to help consumers meet their daily vitamin B12 requirements.

Health notes

Cyanocobalamin is widely used as a food additive and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have also evaluated vitamin B12 and its forms. At typical dietary intake levels, it is considered safe and beneficial for health, playing a vital role in bodily functions. There are no widespread controversies regarding its use in fortified foods.

Allergen info

Cyanocobalamin is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
