Cyanocobalamin is the most common and widely produced of the chemical compounds that have vitamin activity as vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is the generic descriptor name for any of such vitamers of vitamin B12. Because the body can[citation needed] convert cyanocobalamin to any one of the active vitamin B12 compounds by definition this makes cyanocobalamin itself a form (or vitamer) of B12 albeit a largely artificial one.
