Good morning.

I’m trying to source Vitamin B12 injections. I seem to be drawing a blank with lots of no stock notifications

Any help would be great

bodfeld-Apotheke.de have Rotexmedica B12 Depot . ( Hydroxocobalamin) In stock, costing €6.10 for a packet of 10 ( courier costs €9.00, no matter how many you order ) This site is in German , so you might need a translation app.

Amazon.de also sell them but not all of the supplying pharmacies ship to U.K. . You can get this site in English .

I get mine from skinbrighton.co.uk/b12-inje...

Considerably more expensive but Doctor led clinic with free telephone consultations and support. Also they sell Methylcolbalamin which I haven’t been able to find anywhere else.

Pricey but good service if that’s what your looking for.

Good to know this is available, but that really is eye-wateringly expensive.

I'll bet you a large pile of cash that the methylcobalamin they sell is really hydroxocobalamin. Unless stored properly (in the fridge) methylcobalamin goes off fairly quickly. Places like this aren't selling B12 to treat a medical condition, so they aren't subject to the same legislation which protects you when buying a proper medicine.

Strange thing to say about the storage of methylcobalamin as simply isn’t true. Best to check manufacturer guidelines if in doubt

You will notice that chemical supply companies say it should be stored at -20° C, while suppliers of ampoules for injection specific less than 5° C. That’s because they would like it stored colder, but there are problems with injecting frozen drugs.

The only people who say that it doesn’t need to be stored refrigerated are cowboy firms and a certain charity (although they have been known to tell purchasers that it doesn’t need refrigeration, while including a PIL that says it does.)

Thank you fbirder. I still don’t understand why you think a uk based doctor would be Misselling methylcobalamin. Surely the legislation is no different whatever the purpose? I had to complete medical declarations etc when I ordered and also spoke with the doctor. Personally I have found the experience really good but obviously people are looking for different things.

The methylcobalamin I get comes in individual ampoules but will check what temp it says to store at.

Thanks again for sending the info. Appreciated
