COBALT GLUCONATE is the cobalt salt of gluconic acid. It typically exists as a pink to red powder that is highly soluble in water. Its chemical formula is often represented as Co(C₆H₁₁O₇)₂.
Nutritional Supplement (Most Common): It serves as a source of cobalt, an essential trace mineral. Cobalt is a key component of vitamin B12 (cobalamin).
Animal Feed: Routinely added to livestock and pet food (especially for ruminants like cattle and sheep) to prevent cobalt deficiency, which is necessary for B12 synthesis by gut bacteria.
Human Supplements: Used in some vitamin B12 supplements and fortified foods, though less commonly than cyanocobalamin or methylcobalamin.
Industrial & Chemical Applications:
Catalyst: Acts as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in certain organic oxidation reactions.
Colorant: Its distinctive pink/red color can be used in some specialty applications.
Laboratory & Research: Used as a reagent in biochemical research.
While essential in trace amounts, cobalt is toxic in excess. Its use in supplements is strictly regulated. Overexposure can lead to serious health effects, including cardiomyopathy. It should only be used under professional guidance.
