Vitamin B12 Formulations
LycoRed provides solutions for improved stability and uniform
distribution of vitamin B12 (cobalamin or cyanocobalamin).
Stability
Vitamin B12 is not stable when in an environment
containing pro-oxidants. Some Ingredients, especially those
found in multi-vitamins, will have cross-interactions with
the vitamin B12 and destroy it. LycoRed Vitamin B12 Stablets® adsorb
the vitamin B12 onto pharmaceutical grade ion-exchange
resin. A chemical bond is formed, protecting the vitamin
B12 until it enters the body where it is released.
Uniform distribution
The RDI (recommended daily intake) of
vitamin B12 is only single micrograms[if the RDA is 1 mcg,
say that... not "only
single micrograms"] (follow
link for European Union RDA information)
.This presents a challenge to manufacturers who must accurately
dose the vitamin B12. LycoRed uses proprietary technology
to ensure a highly homogenous trituration. The 0.1%-5%
triturations allow the vitamin B12 to be distributed evenly
throughout the dosage form.
