Hello - I am in Northern Ireland and due to Brexit we are having trouble getting g lots of things here. My b12 from Germany seems to be one.

I have found a similar product that will still post to us. Can anyone tell me if it looks ok? Does anyone else use this . Or has anyone else in Northern Ireland found a good supplier. Thanks.

The illustrated packet shows Cynocobalamin B12 ampoules ,which used to be used in U.K. , but now has been superseded by Hydroxocobalamin B12 , which is always described on the packet as B12 Depot . That same firm , Hevert also supplies Hydroxocobalamin B12 depot . I have seen it on Amazon.de. ( German Amazon ) The difference between the Rotexmedica B12 depot and Heverts is that it come in a 1mg x 2ml ampoule ,which is the same dosage as the Rotexmedica , but in twice the amount of saline . I have used it -it’s fine . You could also use the illustrated Cynocobalamin , but it is said to require more regular injections than Hydroxocobalamin.

Also Rotexmedica b12 depot is cheaper than Heverts .

Hope that this helps .

Hello Wedgewood, I wonder if you could help me. I have ordered from Bodfeld and received an email about bank transfer. Could you explain how to do this ? The information looks different to our banks - normally I just need account and sort code - so I’m confused. Thank you

Looking at the photo , I can tell you that the account -holder is “BODFELD Apotheke -Holger Neubert”

The reference that you need to use to identify yourself as the person paying in the money is 803773972 . Important to get that right!

The Bank to whom the sum is paid is “Deutsche Apotheke und Ārtztebank”

I think that once you get going it will become apparent what you need to fill in - Ive done it once , and can remember that it was easy dealing with the rest of it .

I hope that this helps a bit . Best wishes 👍
