Where to order GOOD GRADE single dose 1ML Methylcobalamin

7 Replies

Hello there, Does anyone know where I can order GOOD GRADE (with no aluminum or additives) Methylcobalamin single dose 1,000 mcg 1ML ? Someone here gave me Vitaminquick but the only problem with that company is I need single dose of 1ML once weekly and the glass bottles you get at Vitaminquick contains 2ML (1,000 Mcg) So after I break open the glass vials and use half. HOW and where would I keep the other half SAFELY? Don't even think that would be healthy....right.

I’m sorry I can’t answer your main question but it might be useful to others if you were to post which country you’re in in the title.

As far as re-using a single use vial is concerned, that’s a no. Once opened any unused should be discarded.

Thank you JanD236. Best

what is important is the dosage- so if you want to get the full 1000mcg you would need to use the full 2ML of the vial - as breaking the vial breaks sterility it isn't advised that you split the dose for use later.

I've probably mentioned before that generally there isn't any advantage to using methyl over other more stable forms such as hydroxo and cyano - the fact that it is less stable means it's more difficult to ensure that the contents of vials have been transported and stored in the right conditions and haven't degraded. The mechanism for transporting B12 from blood to cells means that the format you start with shouldn't be that relevant.

Hi Gambit62, sorry it's taken so long to respond. For some reason I'm not getting my responses in my emails letting me know if someone responded. I just posted the question again not knowing you had already answered it. I am just confused of how much to take. Prescribed cyanocobalamin 1000 mcg/mL 1 mL vial but Vitaminquick reads 1000 MCG/mL 2 ML

Red glass vials reading 1000 MCG/2M ales

each vial contains 1000 mcg, suspected in 2 Ml of fluid - which means it is have the concentration in a 1000mcg/1mL vial. You need to take the whole vial to get a 1000mcg dose.
