I have Pascoe now - and find it to be fine. As people have reported here, less sting. More B12 though, so may need slight adjustment on frequency.

Also found difference in viscosity - thinner, even straight from the fridge. Not heard anyone else mention this.

Just ordering online makes me worry !

Really don't - as Pascoe is fine.

Good to hear from you anyway - and glad to hear you have been doing well.
