Where can I buy

Hi fellow sufferies,

Looking for some information as to finding a reliable supply of B12 for self injection . Feel so worn out . My doctor says one injection every 3 months meets my needs and will not offer anymore. He should be in our shoes. I really do not trust the Internet to find this information.

Thank you.

I get my B12 from amazon.de - amazon.de/dp/B009M3TRQ4/ref... - the site is very similar to amazon.uk, so if you're familiar with that navigation is fairly easy. Otherwise you can amazon.de open in one window and google translate in the other.

I get my syringes, needles and wipes from amazon.uk:

Green needles to draw the solution up into the syringe - amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00...

Blue needles for the actual injection - amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00...

2ml syringes - amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00...

Sterile wipes - amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00...

I find the ampoules aren't scored (or aren't well scored) so I use these to open them - sepha.com/en/products/view/...

You can buy from b-amazing.net. I've been using them for a while now. Sometimes, they are out of stock and they don't deliver. You should contact them first to make sure they have the b-12 in stock that you are looking for. They sell methylcobalamin injectable version and Cyanocobalamin. Methylcobalamin is the active form of b-12 that passes the blood-brain-barrier and is the most effective.

Hello,

I'm in US and order B12, cyanocobalamin, from Canadian site. I can definitely recommend their products and service:

Buy-Otc.com

I also bought their syringes with needles attached: BD 3 ml Syringe, Luer-Lok Tip with BD PrecisionGlide Needle. 25G (gauge) x 1in (0.5mm x 25mm)

I'm a retired RN and was happy to see BD as they have been around forever and are considered a reputable company, as is Cytex, the maker of the cyanocobalamin. It comes in 10ml multiple dose vial/bottle with rubber stopper under the cap. 1000mcg/ml, for Intramuscular or Deep Sub-Q Injection.

I have self injected into thigh and these needles are slick...barely knew it was in! Using multi-dose B12 eliminates the need to break glass vial and potential cuts.
