Vitamins play a vital role in the life of any living organism. Cyanocobalamin is one of the B vitamins. It is involved in the most complex and important processes of organizing life, helps “create” blood cells, regulates fat and carbohydrate metabolism, provides normal functioning nervous system. Vitamin B12 interacts closely with other vitamins and substances; its imbalance can lead to malfunction the most complex system and lead to many diseases.
Properties of the vitamin
Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) ensures normal cell division, and they are the smallest building blocks that make up any organism. The main cells that cyanocobalamin “works” to create are blood cells. They carry out transportation nutrients to any other cell, thanks to this, they can develop, feed, grow. The process of replacing “old” cells with new ones occurs constantly in the body. This allows all organs to be cleansed, restored and function normally. There is a disease that occurs when there are few blood cells in the body. That’s what it’s called: “anemia” or “anemia” in scientific terms.
In addition to its “main” job, cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) is also involved in the division of other cells. It has a significant effect on the function of the nervous system and improves brain function. He takes an active part in the creation - it covers all nerve fibers. The vitamin improves the functioning of the digestive system and intestines; it is involved in creating the membrane lining these organs. Stabilizes gland function internal secretion, participates in exchange processes, creates immune cells, renews skin cells. It synthesizes DNA molecules, deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid, thereby launching a vital process - the nucleus of each cell consists of these acids, and they carry hereditary information. A lack of cyanocobalamin can cause a deficiency of a quasi-vitamin (carnitine). It looks for fat molecules in the blood and sends them to the mitochondria. There, fat is converted into life-giving energy that nourishes our body.
Interaction with other beneficial substances
Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) actively interacts both with vitamins of its group and with others. It is necessary for normal B9. Its deficiency can lead to vitamin B1 deficiency. Therefore, when prescribing treatment, several vitamins are often used in combination.
It is important for the production of nucleic acid, folate and pantothenic acid. And they are responsible for the stable functioning of the nervous system, protecting us from stress and depression. B12 helps produce choline and makes iron work, the effects of which are often lacking. Actively interacts with vitamin C, ensuring complete metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates. Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) also helps vitamin A to be synthesized in the body and work to restore body tissue. Benefits and beneficial features it has long been studied and proven. He is entrusted with a great responsibility - in his absence, most of the functions of our body will not be carried out normally, and treatment may become useless.
Natural sources
Vitamin B12 is not found in plant foods. It is produced by microorganisms: bacteria, yeast fungi, mold. But in order for the vitamin to be fully absorbed, one more component is needed - “ internal factor Castle." This is a unique protein that is produced in the stomach. Animals produce cobalamin during their life and accumulate it. Therefore, the deficiency can be compensated only by eating animal food. A lot of the vitamin is found in pork, veal and beef liver, yeast, in fermented milk products and in the sea. These are seaweed, shrimp, squid, fish and others. Vitamin B12 is present in soy products that have been fermented, for example, in tofu cheese, but is not found in soy itself, this is worth considering.
Daily dose
A healthy person needs very little vitamin per day - one millionth of a gram; good nutrition any organism receives in abundance. But vegetarians and vegans (according to doctors) often suffer from a lack of it, but due to their beliefs they refuse to eat animal food. They can make up for the deficiency by taking cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) tablets. You should first consult with your doctor regarding dosage.
Indications for use
The drug is prescribed in combination with other vitamins and medications. The vitamin helps people suffering from anemia, Addison-Brimer's disease, Down's disease, and iron deficiency. When long-term use medications or when exposed to toxic substances. Used for neuralgia, polyneuritis, liver cirrhosis and liver failure, at chronic hepatitis, radiculitis and eye diseases. It is prescribed to people suffering alcohol addiction, with cerebral palsy, with funicular myelosis and amytrophic sclerosis. Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) is used for hair, both to improve growth and to combat baldness. It also helps with skin diseases: herpetiformis and atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, photodermatosis. The vitamin is prescribed by gastroenterologists to people who have poor absorption or have cancer. There are often reviews from doctors indicating that such a simple drug as vitamin B12 can have a strong positive effect on the body and can help get rid of even a serious illness.
Patients who were prescribed the drug during treatment noted an improvement in their well-being and left general fatigue, my mood improved, recovery happened faster and easier. People with anemia experienced significant relief - stomach function improved, unpleasant burning sensation on the tongue, pain in the legs decreased, and they experienced less difficulty walking. In the practice of doctors, there have been cases where, with the help of vitamin B12, it was possible to restore reproductive function in male patients.
How to use the drug
If you have been prescribed cyanocobalamin (vitamin 12), the instructions for use will tell you how to use it correctly. Remember that before taking any dosage forms You should consult your doctor, otherwise self-medication may lead to unpleasant consequences.
The daily dosage is individual for each patient. For example, with anemia, it can be in the range of 100-200 mcg, and the vitamin should be taken once every two days. For liver diseases, 100 mcg is prescribed, and for nervous system disorders, the dose can increase to 500. Cyanocobalamin is prescribed for injection or in tablet form.
Price
The drug is freely available. Traditionally it was produced in injection ampoules, but in Lately It can also be purchased in tablet form. It can be included in a multivitamin complex, and it will be enough, but it can also be in high concentration; such tablets are used in the treatment of diseases or to enrich vegetarian nutrition.

For hair growth
Trichologists recommend using cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) for hair. This decision is very justified, the vitamin starts the regeneration process and is actively involved in nutrition. If your hair has become dull, brittle, has begun to fall out, and your scalp is not in the best condition. in better shape, it is quite possible that your hair does not have enough vitamins. Using conditioners and masks is a good solution, but it should be noted that if your hair does not receive enough nutrition, then this is a sign that your body is “starving” and is forced to save on hair nutrition. It will be much better to start taking a complex of vitamins orally and diversify your diet. Treat your body with understanding, appreciate it, help it and always be healthy!
Pharmacologically vitamin B 12 (cyanocobalamin) is water-soluble vitamin. At the same time, there is high activity against biochemical and physiological processes. Necessary in the body for many processes: the synthesis of red blood cells, participates in the transfer of hydrogen, the formation of many substances (choline, methionine, nucleic acids, creatine). It has a direct beneficial effect on nervous tissue, as well as the liver. Activates the blood coagulation system; in extremely high doses it can increase the activity of prothrombin and thromboplastin.
Pharmacokinetically absorbed into the blood after intramuscular injection, and is also quickly and fully absorbed orally after ingestion from the gastrointestinal tract. Metabolism begins in the tissues, turns into a coenzyme form, which is the active form - adenosylcobalamin. It is excreted both through the liver with bile and with urine.

The role of vitamin B12 in the body
Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) was discovered in 1948. Selected him from raw liver. For a long time Scientists could not understand why patients who took raw liver in small quantities managed to overcome pernicious anemia.
Since then, vitamin B12 and its effect on the body have been studied quite well; all that remains is to understand that this is an expensive gift from nature that should be used wisely. Vitamin B12 helps avoid the effects of stress; it, with the help of vitamins B5, B9 and C, helps block stress hormones and helps restore nerve cells and participates in the construction of new ones, that is, it is an active participant in the processes of biosynthesis of amino acids and the synthesis of DNA and RNA. The substance improves the process of blood clotting and reduces the amount of cholesterol in it.
Vitamin B12 can be obtained from food or supplemented with tablets and injections. Cyanocobalamin is found in animal products, which is why vegetarians tend to suffer from a lack of it in the body. It is not synthesized in plants.
Uses of Vitamin B12
It is much more convenient to use vitamin B12 in ampoules. It is a slightly pink liquid. Neuralgia may be an indication for cyanocobalamin injections trigeminal nerve, hepatitis, neurodermatitis, anemia, Down syndrome, as well as migraine, diabetic neuritis, radiation sickness, multiple sclerosis, children's cerebral paralysis. This vitamin affects reproductive function - both female and male. Has a beneficial effect on the human immune system. If the body of HIV-infected people does not have enough vitamin B12, the disease progresses much faster.
B12 injections should not be prescribed in the presence of erythrocytosis, hypersensitivity to the drug, caution must also be exercised in case of malignant and benign tumors and angina.
How to give vitamin B12 injections correctly
As mentioned above, vitamin B 12 belongs to the group of vitamins. It is widely used traditional medicine, as one of the components used for treatment various diseases or for their prevention. Therefore, if cyanocobalamin is prescribed by a doctor, then this is not subject to discussion, but if someone independently decided to inject vitamin B12 in ampoules, the instructions for use in this case are subject to detailed study.
First of all, you need to know that cyanocobalamin can be used intravenously, subcutaneously, intramuscularly. And the instructions also detail that it cannot be used together with drugs that increase blood clotting; you also cannot mix vitamins B1, B6 and B12 in one syringe; in addition, if the patient has an allergic reaction to vitamin B1, then B12 can significantly strengthen. You cannot combine cyanocobolamin with riboflavin and ascorbic acid, but colchicine, antiepileptic drugs and salicylates can reduce the degree of its absorption by the body. And there are many nuances that only a doctor can know, so only he can fully answer the question of how to inject vitamin B12.
Use of vitamin for various diseases
Headache and dizziness;
Fatigue and weakness;
Irritability, neuritis and nervousness;
The appearance of ulcers on the tongue and in the mouth;
Paleness of the skin;
Numbness;
Decreased appetite, back pain and sleep disturbances.
This drug is prescribed by doctors for certain diseases and for their prevention. For what diseases is B12 prescribed, how to inject it correctly?
The course of prophylaxis can range from 7 to 15 days, with injections from 200 mcg to 500 mcg per day.
Diseases associated with the central and peripheral nervous system:
The first 3 days, 200 mcg daily;
The next 4 days, 300 mcg daily.
If no complications arise within seven days, the course of treatment ends. If complications occur, the dose is increased:
5 days daily 400 mcg;
The next 3 days, 500 mcg daily.
Another quite serious disease that occurs due to a lack of B12 in the body is anemia. Characteristic This ailment develops almost asymptomatically and slowly, but, as a rule, affects the nervous system. During treatment, cyanocobalamin is prescribed along with other drugs in a dose of 200 to 300 mcg; if complications arise, it is increased to 500 mcg and administered 1 or 2 times a day. If the patient's condition worsens, the dose can reach up to 1000 mcg. After 10 days it can be reduced, but another 3 months daily norm will be 300 mcg of vitamin. And after the end of treatment, one injection is given every two weeks for six months.
Vitamin B12 overdose
Before injecting vitamin B12 in ampoules, it would be useful to familiarize yourself with the consequences in case of an overdose: if the body is hypersensitive to this substance, then a large dose can cause an allergic reaction, which will manifest itself in the form of urticaria (rash on the body and mucous membranes), as well as pain in the heart area, tachycardia, increased nervousness.
It should be remembered that an excess of cyanocobalamin is very difficult to remove from the body.
Vitamin B12 in hair care
Cyanocobalamin is an excellent assistant in hair care. At home, the vitamin can be added to shampoo, thereby making it fortified. It is also added to hair masks. For example, an excellent mask against hair loss is to mix one teaspoon of honey and lemon juice and add one ampoule of vitamin B6 and B12 to the mixture. Apply the mixture to clean hair, leave for 10 minutes, then rinse. Repeat the procedure five times a week.
But, as you know, external application is always inferior in results to internal application. What to do if vitamin B12 cannot be used in the form of injections due to the individual characteristics of the body, but at the same time you want to have beautiful hair? In such cases, it is best to add to your diet sufficient quantity include foods containing cyanocobalamin.

The most vitamin B12 is found in beef or veal liver, but it is in large quantities also contain chicken and pork liver. It is also found in marine products such as crabs and oysters, fish, egg yolks, meat, hard cheese, dairy and fermented milk products.
Nowadays, fortified mixtures are offered in large quantities, for example, cereals, muesli in the form of breakfast cereals. In fact, it is unlikely that it will be possible to find the specified amount of vitamins there, because long-term storage helps to reduce it, and the preservatives contained in such products are harmful.
There is another caveat: vitamin B 12 is heat stable, which means it is not destroyed by cooking. But at the same time, direct sunlight has a detrimental effect on it.
Vitamin B12 is a combination of two vitamers found in foods of animal origin. It has a positive effect on hematopoietic function, stimulates the formation of high-quality red blood cells and prevents the development of anemia. Participates in cell renewal, the formation of the myelin sheath of nerve fibers and the prevention of fatty degeneration of the liver, heart and kidneys.

What functions does vitamin B12 perform in the body? For what diseases is it prescribed and in what preparations can it be found.
The name B12 hides a group of substances, including methylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, cyanocobalamin and others. It is based on a complex chemical structure in the shape of a corrin ring. Of the components listed above in human body Only one element is most in demand - cyanocobalamin.
In terms of structure, it has the following characteristics:
- Appearance: Dark red powder.
- No smell.
- Solubility in water.
- Resistant to sunlight and high temperatures.
The most popular form is vitamin B12 tablets.
General Features
The substance was first discovered in 1928 by the famous chemist Edwin Cohn, and six years later two doctors (George Maycott and William Parry Murphy) isolated medicinal properties cyanocobalamin, for which they received Nobel Prize. After another 14 years, vitamin B12 was isolated in its pure form. Subsequently, scientists continued to study the characteristics and effects of cyanocobalamin.
Today the following functions have been proven vitamin B12:
- Participation in the production of hemoglobin and red blood cells.
- Ensuring normal brain activity(memory improvement, protection from stress). B12 is also often prescribed for the prevention of depression, dementia and sclerosis.
- Improvement reproductive function. Cyanocobalamin plays a key role in male body- its action is aimed at the growth of germ cells in the seed. With daily consumption of the substance, the number of active sperm increases.
- Participation in the synthesis of leukocytes that eliminate foreign bodies. It has been proven that B12 strengthens the immune system and protects against development viral diseases. Against the background of cyanocobalamin deficiency, HIV infection develops twice as quickly.
- Rising arterial pressure, which is important for hypotensive patients.
- Support respiratory system. When there is a deficiency of oxygen in the blood, B12 pushes cells to consume chalcogen. It is thanks to cyanocobalamin that a person survives longer without air.
- Accelerating the process of protein breakdown. It has been proven that anabolic processes in cells human body pass only with the participation of cyanocobalamin. That is why these vitamins are recommended for athletes during the period of gaining muscle mass.
- Removal of homocysteine from the body, the presence of which increases the risk of developing heart disease (myocardial infarction).
- Bringing blood cholesterol levels to normal.
- Optimization of the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic and ribonucleic acids that form cell nuclei.
- Participation in the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. For this reason, vitamin B12 preparations are prescribed to normalize metabolic processes.
- The formation of a special sheath on the fibers of the central nervous system, which subsequently turns into succinic acid. In case of cyanocobalamin deficiency, there is a lack of myelin (the sheath is formed from it), which impairs the transmission of impulses from muscle cells to the brain. As a result, numbness of the arms or legs (“goosebumps”) occurs.
- Ensuring the occurrence of metabolic processes involving carotenes and the subsequent conversion of the latter into vitamin A.
Positive effects of vitamin B12, functions and unique properties substances made him one of popular means in matters of health promotion.
Cyanocobalamin provides normal work internal organs, is involved in many functions, and its deficiency leads to a number of unpleasant consequences:
- disruption of the central nervous system;
- atrophic gastritis;
- sclerosis;
- development of anemia;
- depression and other problems.

- Excessive addiction to alcohol.
- Regular intake of antacid medications.
- Surgical intervention.
- Smoking. It has been proven that cigarette smoke entering the mouth and lungs destroys B12.
- Passion for yeast bread. Studies have shown that after temperature treatment, fungi dangerous to the body do not die, which leads to disruption of the microflora of the stomach.
- Intake of food preservatives.
- Stressful conditions. When a person experiences emotional shock, adrenaline is produced, the excessive supply of which has a negative action on B12.
- Increased consumption of radishes, onions and garlic and other products that destroy intestinal microflora. As a result, the absorption process of the vitamin slows down, and this leads to a lack of vital compounds in the body.
- Lack of sunlight.
In the cases discussed above, it is recommended to increase the intake of vitamin B12 (norm per day). by 15-25 percent.
B12 sources
Cyanocobalamin is a substance that is synthesized by animals and plants. Despite the fact that B12 must enter the human body through food, a small amount useful substance is also produced in the large intestine. But the problem is that the substance not digestible due to the inability to absorb the vitamin into the body's bloodstream.
Most B12 is found in the following foods:
- Heart, kidneys and liver of cattle.
A small amount of B12 contains:
- Vegetables - green onions, spinach, cabbage, garlic, radishes.
- Fruits - peaches, plums, apricots.
Unlike other representatives of group B, cyanocobalamin is retained in large volumes even during cooking. So, with 45-minute frying, only 25% useful substance. Despite the resistance to elevated temperatures, such an action should still be kept to a minimum. So, when boiling milk for 20-25 minutes all useful elements are destroyed.
