About B12 (Methylcobalamin) 10mg

Vitamin B12 exists in several forms, and methylcobalamin is the one that functions directly as a cofactor without requiring intracellular conversion, which distinguishes it from cyanocobalamin in experimental work. It supports methionine synthase in the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine, the reaction that regenerates S-adenosylmethionine and links B12 status to methylation capacity generally. The cobalt-corrin structure makes it light-sensitive, so the amber vial and dark storage are functional requirements rather than convention.

Storage and reconstitution

Store lyophilized peptide at -20°C in a dry, dark environment. Reconstitute in bacteriostatic water. Once reconstituted, store at 2-8°C and use within 30 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Lyophilized powder is stable at room temperature for shipping and short-term storage.

Shipping within Canada

Orders placed before 2:00 PM Pacific on a business day are packed and dispatched the same day. Orders placed after that cut-off, or on a weekend or statutory holiday, are dispatched on the next business day. Parcels leave British Columbia, Canada and travel entirely within the country, so nothing on this order crosses a border, clears customs or is held by CBSA. Orders over CA$200 ship free; see the shipping page for transit times by province.
