B12 supply

Hi. I’ve noticed issues over stocks and delivery too lately. The main reason I found this excellent site.

Mix of Brexit and war madness/disruption I’d guess.

Does anyone know of any issues with cyanocobalamin which seems favoured in Europe?

Thanks

Cynocobalamin was used by the NHS in the U.K. until Hydroxocobalamin was developed several years ago Apparently Hydroxocobalamin stays in the system longer than Cynocobalamin, so can be injected less regularly. Cyno should not be used if a patient has Leber’s disease ( a rare inherited disease of the eye, typically affecting young males) .

One member of this forum finds Hydroxocobalamin doesn’t suit him ( Clivealive) and uses Cynocobalamin. Cynocobalamin is the usual treatment in the USA .

Cyno is cheaper than Hydroxo . Works just as well as Hydroxocobalamin . So no harm in using it at all . Best wishes .
