&lt;p&gt;Do you have any information confirming that cyanocobalamin is a cheap and poisonous chemical? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many hundreds of thousands articles on Internet state that it is very important for humans. Here are several lines from &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.vegsoc.org/info/b12.html"&gt;www.vegsoc.org/.../b12.html&lt;/a&gt; :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vitamin B12&amp;#39;s primary functions are in the formation of red blood cells and the maintenance of a healthy nervous system. B12 is necessary for the rapid synthesis of DNA during cell division. This is especially important in tissues where cells are dividing rapidly, particularly the bone marrow tissues responsible for red blood cell formation. If B12 deficiency occurs, DNA production is disrupted…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is it possible that the chemical name of it scared you? Is it possible that the other synonym of B12, cobalamin, is less scary?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are the chemical names of other vitamins more acceptable?&lt;/p&gt;

Then I would advise against buying it. It is cyanocobalamin. A cheap and poisonous chemical to my knowledge.&lt;/p&gt;
