Benzyl alcohols preservative mechanism involves disruption of bacterial cell membrane lipid bilayer integrity and the aromatic alcohol partitions into bacterial membranes, increasing membrane fluidity and permeability, inhibiting electron transport chain function, and impairing membrane-dependent metabolic processes including nutrient transport and oxidative phosphorylation
NICE Clinical Knowledge Summaries advise oral cyanocobalamin for dietary deficiency, while intramuscular hydroxocobalamin is recommended for pernicious anaemia or malabsorption syndromes
