Been looking around for b12 ampoules online and found these in the UK. Has anyone used them?

Also found this maybe of interest to some. From here.

Thanks.

The leaflet is very useful -thanks .

The offers from the company do not include the type of B12 that is generally used by the NHS here in the U.K. i.e. Hydroxocobalamin

The Cynocobalamin on offer is made in Thailand .This is the cheapest form of B12, and is no longer used in U.K. .

The Methylcobalamin ( the most expensive form of B12) is made in Japan ,but each ampoule has only half the dose (.5 mg) that is usually used- 1mg. This makes it seem a very reasonable price ! ( which it certainly isn’t ! )

We usually get our Hydroxocobalamin B12 from German online pharmacies , and it is made in Germany .

I can’t pass judgement on the items for sale , as I have never used them, or even heard of them . But I feel that possible purchasers must be made aware that neither kind of b12 they offer is the sort in use in UKs NHS .

Thank you for passing on the information. Best wishes .

Hi wedgewood, I buy my 2ml Cyanocolabinum ampoules from a company called Hevert in Germany via eBay where I also get 2.5 ml syringes & green needles.

Hevert also make Hydroxocobalamin ampoules . Hydroxocobalamin is reputed to stay in the system longer than Cynocobalamin. Yes, Hevert supply 1mg x 2ml ampoules .

Rotexmedica ( also a German company ) supply both Cynocobalamin and Hydroxocobalamin ampoules, but in 1mg x 1ml ampoules . I prefer injecting less liquid . So I use this company . Also Rotexmedica is cheaper than Hevert . I use 2ml syringes ,and inject I.M. into my thigh . I use 2 needles . One to withdraw the B12 ( 1 1/2 inch x 21G needle ) and a finer one for the injection (1 inch x 25G )

It’s interesting and useful to hear how others cope with injecting B12 .

You're quite right. My mistake. I've deleted the misleading info. Thank you.
