You can also get B12 (I assume you want Hydroxocobalamin not Cynocobalamin) from Amazon de(German Amazon If you are familiar with Amazon uk you will find it easy to negotiate, otherwise you can click for translation. You need to search for" Vitamin B12 ampullen" There is a lot on offer  for both Hydroxo and Cyno. Hydroxo being more expensive . Click on the packets and enlarge to make sure that you are getting the kind of B12 you want . HEVERT Depot Hydroxo comes in 2 ml ampules, and Rotexmedica in 1 ml ampoules. Unfortunately courier costs are high --about 12 Euros.

Thank you for this information.  I have been looking for ages to try and buy hydro injections on line....  I have resorted to self injecting so going thru ampules quickly... The DR gives me 6 weekly which I had to fight for for  years... but I am finding I need a top up every 2 weeks now.. I have not got the time or energy to start another long hard fight....  so I am helping myself.  Thank you again.

hi gb57    my friend is a nurse and has watched me suffer for years.    I used to get her to do the injection when i was desparate.  Eventually she showed me how to inject and supplies me with the equipment i need so it is all safe.  I am happy to say that my delivery arrived today from germany:)   can u explain the different size in ampules as both are 1000 but i am not sure if the 2m ampules are stronger or not?    So glad i got them because I am overdue at doctors for my 6 week jab because of my work and their apt times.  They told me today that i have to wait until mid May for my jab as they are short staffed and are only doing the patients who require loading injections!!  So glad I dont have to rely on them anymore!!  I also take methyl patches and under tongue drops as I feel I need that as well as hydro....  have not injected methyl so not sure if that would be of benefit or not?  Thank you for your concern and help. xx

The 1000ug describes how much B12 is in the ampoule. The 1ml and 2ml ampoules both contrain the same amount of B12, one is just more dilute than the other. If you inject the full amount then you'll get the same dose.

I prefer the 1ml ampoules as injecting 2ml seemed a bit more uncomfortable.

Now I get 1ml ampoules with 1500ug in from Versand Apotheke - versandapo.de/article/searc...

thank you for the clarification.   I will also take a look at the website you recommended.   Will get there in the end!!

Hi. Did they give you contact details of a uk company?

Yes it's Intravita uk

I don't think hint I'd touch them with a bargepole. They appear to be mainly involved in cosmetic stuff and IV infusions of magic potions.

They do offer a 'B12 Boost' with zero indication as to its contents or price.

Yes I agree

in reply tofbirder

I thought it was strange to find one in the uk as so many people on this forum buy it outside the uk. Thank you

It would be against the law to supply injectable B12 without a prescription.  Other forms of B12 would be ok so you can sell dry B12 to be mixed with saline ... but then the problem is sourcing the saline
