The growing awareness of B12 deficiency symptoms and rising health consciousness have significantly boosted demand for B12-enriched solutions. Its applications span pharmaceutical formulations, functional foods, and dietary supplements. With the global shift toward plant-based diets, synthetic B12 alternatives are becoming increasingly important to ensure adequate nutritional intake across all dietary preferences.
