Yes it tells me there’s 1mg in 1ml if solution but not how or what measurements of hydroxy is in that 1ml ie 1000 ??? Hydroxycobalamin

[Foggyme Administrator in reply to Parksy]

1mg is the dose of hydroxocobalamin (1mg = 1000mcg).

Thank you. I’ve just worked out over the last 8 years I’ve had 60,000 mcg of hydroxycobalamin just from the GP so does that not go to prove it’s not staying in the enterohepatic circulation!!!! Idiots 😡🤬
