What is hydroxocobalamin?
- Hydroxocobalamin is an inactive form of vitamin B12. It is converted into the active methylcobalamin form in the body. For some people this form may be indicated rather than the active methylcobalamin
- Hydroxocobalamin B12 has high affinity to plasma proteins and so may be retained in the blood stream for a much longer period of time, compared to cyanocobalamin
Vitamin B12 Hydroxocobalamin tablets may be indicated:
- to start supplementation of B12 if an individual has both a folate and a vitamin B12 deficiency/vitamin B12 levels are low
- as part of a vegan or vegetarian diet as these can be low in B12 and could be a cause for vitamin B12 deficiency
- for other people at risk of low B12. This may include those with digestive conditions that lead to malabsorption, individuals with low stomach acid (e.g. due to long-term antacid medication, proton pump inhibitors, H2 blockers, ageing or zinc deficiency), surgery where nitrous oxide has been used as an anaesthetic, and other prescription medications which impair B12 absorption.

- energy-yielding metabolism
- nervous system function
- homocysteine metabolism
- psychological function
- red blood cell formation
