What is Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)?

Here’s a full breakdown of Vitamin B12 (as Cyanocobalamin) — especially how it supports beauty, energy, mood, and more:

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble B vitamin crucial for energy, brain health, and red blood cell production.
Cyanocobalamin is the most common and stable form of B12 used in supplements. It’s lab-made, highly shelf-stable, and converts in your body to active B12 (methylcobalamin + adenosylcobalamin).
