Methylcobalamin - sources please?

[pamelaegg]

Hi there

I've read that methylcobalamin can work better for some, I currently use Hevert cobalamin I wanted to try but I can't find it anywhere and I trawled the site for information but all I come back to is links to the cobalamin.

Could someone please let me know where to purchase methylcobalamin injections?

Thank you!

Please be aware that the information used to market methylcobolamin as a 'more natural' form B12 is based on the assumption that because it is one of the forms used in cells it must be better - however the process that gets it into cells involves removing the methyl component and combining it with a protein that is then removed when it is inside the cell to be recombined with a methyl or adenosyl component depending on which process the B12 is needed for. The transport mechanism into cells was identified some time after it was worked out that the two forms used in cells are methyl and adenosyl ... and nobody marketing methyl has updated their marketing info to reflect that discovery and to be honest there isn't really any incentive for them to do so.

Injectable methyl B12 is less stable than hydroxo and cyano which makes it more expensive.

Having said that, some people do find that different forms of B12 affect them in different ways. I personally use a mix of oral methyl and adenosyl with the occasional injection.

I am sure Wedgewood will be responding to this thread.

You can obtain Methylcobalamin single use ampoules from a small manufacturing chemist in Munich Germany . They do not have a site where you can order the ampoules .

You need to get in touch either by phone or email

You can correspond in English . They will respond with prices , and tell you how to pay .( PayPal or Bank transfer)

I have tried these Methylcobalamin ampoules , and they were no better for me than Hydroxocobalamin. But you may be different . Best wishes .
