Cyanocobalamin is a man-made form of vitamin B12, an essential nutrient your body needs but cannot make on its own. It helps keep nerve and blood cells healthy, helps your body make DNA, and helps prevent pernicious anemia. This injection form delivers vitamin B12 directly into a muscle or under the skin so it is absorbed quickly, bypassing the digestive system.
