Cyanocobalamin

Cyanocobalamin is a special type of vitamin called vitamin B12. Just like how your body needs food to grow and stay healthy, it also needs certain vitamins to keep working properly.

Think of vitamins like little helpers that keep your organs and systems running smoothly. Vitamin B12, in particular, helps your body make new red blood cells, which carry oxygen to all the parts of your body. This is really important because your body needs oxygen to function properly.

Cyanocobalamin gets its name from the molecule that it's made up of - a cobalt ion surrounded by a bunch of other atoms. It's called "cyano" because it also has a tiny bit of cyanide in it, which can sound scary but is actually safe in small amounts.

You can find cyanocobalamin in some types of food, like meat, fish, and dairy products. Some people may need to take a vitamin B12 supplement or get a shot of it if their body can't absorb enough from food. This is especially important for people who follow special diets or have certain conditions that make it hard for their bodies to absorb vitamin B12.

Overall, cyanocobalamin is just one of the many helpers that keep your body healthy and strong!
