Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12) - Feed Ingredient

Methylcobalamin is an active form of vitamin B12 that plays a crucial role in red blood cell production, nerve function, and DNA synthesis in horses. Vitamin B12 is particularly important for methylation reactions, which regulate detoxification, immune response, and neurological health. Additionally, Vitamin B12 supports energy metabolism by facilitating the conversion of fats and proteins into usable energy.

Horses primarily obtain vitamin B12 through microbial synthesis in the hindgut, provided cobalt is present in the diet. However, factors such as stress, intense exercise, gastrointestinal disorders, or inadequate cobalt intake may increase the need for supplementation.
