High Purity Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin 99% & 1% Powder CAS 13422-55-4 JP17 Standard Mecobalamin Raw Material Bulk
Active Coenzyme Form
VITAMIN B12
METHYLCOBALAMIN 99% & 1%
Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin), also known as Mecobalamin (CAS 13422-55-4), is the bioactive coenzyme form of Vitamin B12. Unlike Cyanocobalamin, it does not require conversion in the liver and is readily absorbed by the human body. We provide two standardized industrial grades: 99% Pure Crystalline Powder (JP17 Standard) for high-precision pharmaceutical and premium supplement synthesis, and 1% Food/Feed Grade Dilution for large-scale nutrient fortification. This Raw Material is essential for neurological health, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation.

TECHNICAL FAQ
Q1: Why choose 99% Pure Powder over the 1% Dilution?
A1: 99% Pure Powder is for high-precision formulations where volume is limited (e.g., injections or sublinguals). 1% Dilution is designed for large-scale blending (food/feed) to ensure even distribution of the micro-nutrient.
Q2: What is the shelf life and storage requirement?
A2: Methylcobalamin is light-sensitive. It must be stored in light-proof, airtight containers below 20°C. Standard shelf life is 24 months from Mfg date.
Q3: Does it comply with Halal/Kosher requirements?
A3: Yes, our fermentation-based production process is 100% plant-based and complies with major religious dietary standards.
