Understanding Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is studied within cellular energy metabolism, where research focuses on how substrate utilization, mitochondrial function, and lipid handling shape body composition and vitality. Investigators use Vitamin B12 as a characterized reference material to probe metabolic signaling pathways and their role in energy production.
How it is studied to work
Metabolic signaling
Interacts with pathways governing substrate selection between glucose and fatty acids.
Mitochondrial support
Studied for influence on mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative capacity.
Lipid handling
Explored for roles in fatty-acid transport and lipolysis within adipose models.
Energy homeostasis
Investigated for effects on cellular ATP production and systemic energy balance.
Where investigators are looking
Energy expenditure
Cellular respiration and metabolic rate.
Fat metabolism
Lipolysis, beta-oxidation, and adipose signaling.
Insulin sensitivity
Glucose uptake and metabolic flexibility.
Exercise capacity
Substrate utilization during physical stress.
Catalog & pricing
- B1210ml vial—
Keeping it stable
Lyophilized (unopened)
Stable at room temperature for short periods; store at -20°C for long-term stability.
After reconstitution
Refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within 2–4 weeks depending on the compound.
Protect from light & heat
Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles and prolonged light exposure.
Handling
For laboratory research use only; handle with appropriate protective equipment.
Preparing the compound
- 1
Allow both the peptide vial and bacteriostatic water to reach room temperature.
- 2
Swab both rubber stoppers with an alcohol wipe.
- 3
Draw the desired volume of bacteriostatic water into a sterile syringe.
- 4
Inject the water slowly against the inside wall of the vial — never directly onto the powder.
- 5
Swirl gently (do not shake) until the solution is fully clear.
- 6
Label with the date and store refrigerated.
Reconstitution volume determines concentration. Use a peptide calculator to match your research protocol. Bacteriostatic water is sold separately as an accessory.
Third-party verified purity
Every lot of Vitamin B12 is independently tested by HPLC and mass spectrometry to confirm identity and purity. Download the current Certificate of Analysis or request the report for a specific batch.
Vitamin B12, explained
Vitamin B12 is supplied strictly as a research reference material for in-vitro and laboratory study. It is characterized for purity and identity and is not intended for human consumption or therapeutic use.
Every batch is third-party tested by HPLC and mass spectrometry. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available for each lot from the COA section on this page.
Vitamin B12 is sold by the individual vial in 1 vial size. See the specifications table above for catalog numbers and per-vial pricing.
This compound ships lyophilized. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water following the steps in the Reconstitution section, then store refrigerated.
Compounds ship in protective packaging. Follow the storage guidance on this page — most lyophilized peptides are best kept at -20°C long-term and refrigerated after reconstitution.
