Is it the same?

4 Replies

Forgot to mention the box also reads

1000 Mcg 2ML each (500Mcg per ML)

So does it mean I am just getting the amount I need which is 1000 mcg/mL 1 mL

Thanks guys. Ok... I'll take the airhead title on this one but help 😳

It's the right amount of b12 but in 2mls rather than 1 ml so more to inject as you need all of it.

Not sure why they produce it in 2 mls ?

You could always double check with the seller or pharmacy.

I've always used the 1mg/1ml Hydroxocobalamin single use ampoules

I’m on 1000 mcg/ml cyano weekly which come in vials with rubber stoppers and I split my dose in half; 0.5 ml on Monday and 0.5 ml on Thursday.

I had the opportunity to buy Methyl-b12 in Saudi Arabia OTC several years ago and it came in 1ml ampoules of 500mcg/ml each. So I took the entire 1 ml on Monday and again on Thursday.

I felt exactly the same as with my normal cyano regime. Maybe a bit more energetic with some “after injection” symptoms slightly stronger.

Methyl is more reactive to light and breaks down faster. The ampoules were each wrapped in a black paper wrap to keep them in darkness. So I had to use the entire ampoule once the black paper was opened.

Ampoules are harder to deal with since you break them open. I used the entire 1ml dose in one go.

Methyl reacts faster in the body as well so I felt more of a rush. Splitting my cyano dose in half and doubling the rate of injections evened this one.

Thats interesting splitting the dose works for yiu.It'd the one size dose fits all all theory again otherwise .

I often think a slow drip of it would be best
