Cobalt Ingredients & Drug Interactions
What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking Cobalt against your medications. The heart of this page is the interaction checker and the full interaction report — how this product’s ingredients may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking.
Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cobalt by Angstrom Minerals
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
This product contains 2 ingredients: high energy water and 99.9% pure cobalt. Cobalt is a mineral your body needs in tiny amounts, mainly as part of vitamin B12, but inorganic cobalt supplements (cobalt metal or cobalt salts taken on their own) are not proven to offer any health benefit.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
We hold no effectiveness data for cobalt supplements in our database. There are no established evidence ratings for this product's claimed benefits.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Cobalt taken by mouth in small doses for up to 90 days appears to be generally well tolerated. However, taking cobalt long-term or in high doses carries serious risks: cardiomyopathy (a weakening of the heart muscle), hearing loss, and vision loss have been reported.
People on low-protein diets, those deficient in thiamine (vitamin B1), or those with an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) appear to be at higher risk of heart damage from cobalt. Additionally, topical cobalt products can trigger allergic skin reactions in some people.
Inorganic cobalt supplements have no proven benefit and are generally not recommended. The safety data advises against using cobalt during pregnancy or while breastfeeding due to toxicity concerns and lack of safety research.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the cobalt we could check. However, we could not verify high energy water against any medication database.
If you take any medications, check them against the tool on this page before starting this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Inorganic cobalt supplements aren't proven to help and carry real risks of heart, hearing, and vision damage — especially with long-term or high-dose use. Pregnant or breastfeeding people should avoid this product.

General Statements
Leading experts have agreed on the fact that many diseases, and often even death, are caused by mineral deficiencies. According to Senate Document #264, 99% of Americans suffer from mineral imbalances. Our physical well-being is directly dependent upon the minerals we consume. Nature's most digestible source of pure minerals Angstrom is a unit used in measuring the length of light waves. Angstrom minerals are in the purest form and are one hundred million times smaller than colloidal minerals making them the most digestible source of minerals available today. The average absorption rate for most of the minerals on the market (colloidal, ionic, etc.) in adults is approximately 10% and even less if digestive problems are present. All of the Angstrom Minerals penetrate to the DNA which means they can cross the blood/brain barrier to supply energy directly to the brain. What's unique about these minerals is the fact they are totally water soluble - which simply means what the body doesn't need it will excrete! Due to the purity and concentration of this product, it has no expiration date.
