Where to get quality Injectable B12?

Trying to get B12 in the Uk but the European places have stopped sending to the UK due to Brexit (there's too much paperwork to send it plus the costs are unknown due to duty.) They send to the US or Russia but not here.

I used to get Rotexmedica 100 x 10 vials for injectable use of it from pharmacies in Germany (including the one recommended in the thread) but now I cant find a single one that will send it at all, and from the US or elsewhere the cost is about five times what it should be.

Any ideas? Is anyone based enough in Europe that we could set up a club to start buying it in bulk? Or to work out the paperwork? The German pharmacies are very friendly but are clear that our rules are too complex for individual orders. Or is there any UK based pharmacy that will supply it without overcharging, if at all?

In the UK you need a prescription. Thete have been a few posts on this if you look through.

Sone have been successful getting from Amazon de or Apohealth de.

Wedgewood is good on this as is fbirder . Look at their posts?

Uses PayPal

Or set up an amazin account .

Saves having to type on uk address which then gets rejected.

It is possible still to get B12 Hydroxocobalamin from Some smaller German online pharmacies . I tried today for you . Try apohealth.de . You can get it in English ( top right -choose the American flag!)

Search for Rotexmedica B12 Depot .

Amazon.de. Is also a possibility , but is varies from day to day . Today I could only find 10 x 10 packs . Yesterday single 10 packs , that

would deliver to U.K.

pharmasana.co.U.K. is another source .it’s in English , but they ship from Germany . I’m sure that you will be able to find some . Best wishes .

Just noticed that the link to a pharmacy which supplies B12 depot is faulty because I failed to turn off auto correction , so could not type “uk”— it turned into” U.K.”: so the link would not work- So sorry !pharmasana.co.uk is a German online pharmacy which supplies B12 depot ( Hydroxocobalamin . Search for Rotexmedica B12 depot (1mg x 1ml single use ampoules)

Surprised noone is aware of this. You can get b12 injections from your local pharmacy through 'vitajab' You can have up to 1 per month. It's hydroxocobalamin. Also you can usually now get hydroxocobalamin injections at your local aesthetic/beauty salon. The ones that do lip fillers usually also do b12 injections. Many get the b12 on prescription. You'd have to check with them to make sure it's hydroxocobalamin. Hopefully you are close to one of these :) Alternatively take it orally. Most people can absorb through passive diffusion regardless if they have PA or not. So from a 1000ug oral dose you'll get about 10-20ug which is about 10 times the NHS RDA of 1.5 ug

thanks we do know about this but these are stupid expensive - hundreds, if not thousands, of times what the b12 actually costs

Just go to amazon.de/ and type in what you require. I've just (10 mins ago) ordered another batch (cyanocobalamin, works best for me) but hydroxocobalamin is also available.

Ships to the UK in a couple of days, no fuss.

I prefer the cyanocobalamin to the hydroxo as it works best for me .. and... as an added bonus it can be take subcutaneously (I use the midriff area).

Needles syringes etc are all available from Amazon.de
