Buying injectable B12 query

Hi all,

I have been on Goldpharma this morning looking to but the ampules of hydroxcalbiliun (can spell it!). I can see 10 of the oral/parent 1ml, but there are injectable solutions of 5 ampules of 2ml.

Can the oral/patent be injected ? I can't see 1ml injectable! :(

Thank you

Most ampoules of hydroxcobalamin can be taken by mouth, if you can absorb it this way. But not all ampoules can be injected. If you see a reference to 'parenteral', that means that item is suitable for injection. If the description only says 'oral' or, on a German site 'Trinkampullen', the formulation is only suitable for oral administration.

So I understand. I've never tried it though - pointless with my PA.

Pointless if you can't absorb B12 through your stomach, why injections are given :)

No you cannot take the injections by mouth. Jordanc is correct pointless.

Hi , could someone help me please? not sure what to purchase in terms of needles for drawing up, injecting etc, size colour etc. Any help gratefully received. I presume the B12 is a solution and not a powder that has to me mixed etc. Sorry really don’t know what I am doing.
