A hundred quid for three ampoules!

For about £65 you can order 100 ampoules, including shipping - mycare.de/en/online-kaufen/... And that's hydroxocobalamin which is better than methylcobalamin.

From Medisave you can get 100 green needles, 100 blue needles, 100 2 ml syringes, 100 alcohol pre-injection wipes and 100 spot plasters for less than £20.

I cannot believe the price !!!. If you HAVE to have Methylcobalamin for some reason , you will get them cheaper from Intravita ( you need to email them or phone. They dont have a site where they sell). who sell Methylcobalamin ampoules made by a small German pharmaceutical firm called Arnika . I have used them in the past , but not since I found Hydroxocobalamin to be just as effective , cheaper and also not so volatile .That price is outrageous .

Thanks, I thought at that price I was not going to be able to do it.

Good grief Butterflies1919. That price is extortionate. And the information they give about methylcobalamin is misleading (it's not the 'best' form of B12...just a different (and more unstable) form of vitamin B12.

I'd also worry about how they are going to ship this. It has to be stored below a certain temperature and kept in the dark. Reputable and knowledgable suppliers ship this in specialised packaging to keep it cool (methylcobalamin is unstable and degrades if not stored correctly).

So...unless there is a specific reason that you want to use methylcobalamin, suggest you follow fbirder's advice and purchase hydroxocobalamin. Several reputable quality assured German suppliers to choose from....and personally, I'd much sooner purchase from a pharmacy than a cosmetic clinic (quality control and audit mechanisms in place).

👍
