Hydroxocobalamin is a natural form of vitamin B12 found in the human body and many food products. This vitamin has a particularly high bioavailability, a long-lasting repository effect, and detoxification properties.
Hydroxocobalamin can be easily converted into active B12 coenzymes, which makes it a particularly good form of B12 with which to supply the body. A large percentage of the vitamin B12 in the human body is stored in the form of hydroxocobalamin.
Another advantage of hydroxocobalamin is that it circulates in the body for a relatively long time and thus can ensure a lasting, constant supply of vitamin B12. Although other forms of B12, such as the synthetic cyanocobalamin, cannot be retained within the body for long, hydroxocobalamin can effectively remain in the body for longer periods of time, which is why this form of B12 is described as having good "depository" effects. This characteristic has furthermore made hydroxocobalamin a crucial component in therapies for acute vitamin B12 deficiency, such as in vitamin B injections in clinics.
Although hydroxocobalamin is not a coenzyme, it can be easily converted into the B12 coenzyme forms methylcobalamin and adenocobalamin. It is advantageous as a supplement because it is much easier for the body to convert it into one of the two coenzymes than to convert the coenzymes into hydroxocobalamin.
The only additional ingredient is premium acacia fibre from pesticide-free cultivation, used as a natural bulking agent. In contrast to conventional synthetic fillers such as microcrystalline cellulose, which is mixed with nano-particles, we use a natural, fibre-rich foodstuff. Our acacia fibre comes from climate-neutral, sustainable, resource-conserving, fair cultivation.
For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass.
