· High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Cyanocobalamin .
Cyanocobalamin , also known as vitamin B12 , is an essential nutrient with the chemical formula C 63 H 88 CoN 14 O 14 P . It is naturally present in some foods and available as a dietary supplement and as prescription medication. Vitamin B12 exists in several forms and contains the mineral cobalt, so compounds with vitamin B12 activity are collectively called “cobalamins”. It plays an essential role in the production of the red blood cells and DNA, as well as in the proper functioning of the nervous system.
