B12 and Brexit.

[Jennygal]

Hello - I wonder can anyone advise me. I buy my b12 injections from Germany. I have tried to purchase again and they are no longer shipping to Northern Ireland. I assume this might be a Brexit problem - as there have now been numerous companies no longer shipping to us. Can anyone advise if this is the case? Thanks.

I too would love to know

I believe it is to do with Brexit . The UK tax authorities want them to register for VAT . etc . But it’s still possible to get vitamin B12 depot ( Hydroxocobalamin) ampoules . You could try amazon.de ( German Amazon) or pharmasana.co.uk ( A German online pharmacy with a uk site address. Search for Rotexmedica B12 depot for 1mg x 1ml ampoules .Hevert B12 depot for 1mg x 2ml ampoules, and Pascoe B12 depot for 1.5mg x 1ml

Thank you - I have tried Amazon.de. It appears to have worked. But the postage was very inexpensive so I suspect something might go wrong. Thank you. Surely everyone on this page must have this problem now ?

Well if you only ordered a packet or two - it will weigh light , and Amazon have their own delivery service . Glad you managed it 🤞 I ordered enough for two years - possible because i inject weekly . I did that way back in October .

Yes, there have been many people reporting similar problems since versandapo.de stopped shipping to the UK.

Thanks to the efforts of this group alternatives have been found.

I'm lucky in that I started stockpiling two years ago, when it was obvious that this government was going to drag us out. I have kept up a 2-year supply ever since. I shall run out in 2023 (although I'll be using stuff past its expiry date for the final five months).

It does seem ridiculous. I only need one every eight weeks - so I just buy a ten pack. I hope something will be sorted as time goes by.

Try United Remedies in the UK

They aren't in the UK. They're American.

Cyanocobalamin. Most of us prefer hydroxocobalamin. It's also 50% more expensive than hydroxocobalamin from Germany.
