— manufaktur@arnika-apo.de —

, giving your name , address, telphone number , and how many you want ( they come in packs of 10 ) You can write in English. You can pay by PayPal . They will e mail back giving you the costs.

Hi Wedgewood,

Sorry to bother you, but you seem to be the go to person on where to source b12 ampoules!

I'm biting the bullet and getting started on SI, I currently pay privately and have methylcobalamin injections but can't afford to have them as regularly as needed! I see you have posts about Hydroxocobalamin, is there any significant difference? In your opinion are both pretty much the same?

Thank you and apologies again for bothering you!

It’s absolutely no bother . Yes I have tried both Hydroxocobalamin and Methylcobalamin. I did not find that Methyl was any better for me than Hydroxocobalamin . But I know I was mad keen to try the Methyl , having heard that it was superior . It may well be better for some people , so when I phoned Arnika and Munich and found that they were supplying U.K. again , I thought I should let everyone know .

Hydroxocobalamin is cheaper , much easier to obtain and more stable than Methyl . Methyl needs to be refrigerated , and Hydroxocobalamin just needs to be kept below 25 c . All should be kept in the dark .

versandapo.de seems to be out of stock very often , so I use bodfeld-Apotheke.de at the moment -10 ampoules €6.20 I always order 100 because I use one a week and the use -by date is about 2 1/2 years hence .Courier charges are the same no matter how many you order . (€9.00) If I were you I would feel inclined to try Hydroxocobalamin. You will need a translation app if you don’t do German .

amazon.de have a site in English, where you can get Hydroxocobalamin. But some of the German online pharmacies that sell to Amazon.de , only ship to Germany . So you need to trawl through them to find one that ships to UK . Bodfeld sells through them , but charge double the price to what they charge if you buy from them directly !

Search for ‘Rotexmedica Vitamin B12 depot’

It’s important to put ‘depot’, or you might get the Cynocobalamin form of B12 .

Very best wishes . 🍀👍

Hi Wedgewood, I have just ordered some Methylcobalamin and awaiting delivery from Australia. Does it all need to be kept refrigerated then ? Wondering as it won’t be whilst in transit. Thanks Carla

Hi I've been trying to contact Arnika via the number on their email and all I get is an engaged tone. Do you have a number? I've been using area code 00 49 (calling from UK) then 089 452 468 468 Many thanks

The number you have used is correct , but when dialling abroad , you need to omit the 0 before the regional dialling code so use 0049 89 452 468 468

You can phone tomorrow from 7.00 ( 8.00 in Germany )
