Could cyanocobalamin be toxic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
B12 NOT toxic: Cobalamin (or vitamin b12), is a water-soluble vitamin with a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the formation of blood. It is one of the 8 b-vitamins. It is normally involved in the metabolism of every cell of the human body, especially affecting dna synthesis and regulation, but also fatty acid synthesis and energy. Vitamin B12 has extremely low toxicity.
