Purchasing B12 abroad

[Anoninoni]

I was planning to order from Bodfeld this week but found out that they're no longer shipping. I also noticed while looking through some other threads a user mention something along the lines of purchasing B12 or medicines without a prescription from abroad being something like a grey area but didn't go into detail:

I thought it was fine/legal but could someone please tell me if it's not or has changed?

Is it thought that other pharmacies abroad will follow suit with Bodfeld? I see places are offering injections without prescription for £30 per shot but I just can't afford that - does anyone know if it's possible to bring B12 home with you if purchased while abroad (because as a last resort I think that could work out cheaper for me).

Thanks so much

I bought some home with me the last time I was in Germany at New Year. No problem. If you were ever challenged on them at customs or elsewhere , you need to say that they are for your own use for weight loss or anti ageing ! NOT FOR A MEDICAL REASON. Crazy as it sounds , those places where you can get B12 injections for£30.00 plus . They are advertised to help you lose weight and be anti-ageing. They can only give them for non-medical reasons ! Something wrong somewhere .

As I’ve been injecting weekly for 9 years , I expect to live to be at least 150 and make it to be a nice slim corpse .

P.S. You can buy Pascoe B12 Hydroxocobalamin ampoules ( 1.5 mg x 1ml ampoules) from apohealth.de no delivery charge, pay with card or PayPal . Site available in English

Also versandapo.de.

Someone just posted about having trouble with an order from apohealth.de. They got a toy instead if 100 ampoules! And still no refund.

[wedgewood in reply to palmier]

How weird ! Apohealth don’t have any toys ! I cannot imagine how that happened !

This made me giggle as I'm gaining wrinkles and I'm a whopping 16st so it definitely does not make you lose weight 😂

[andepande in reply to wedgewood]

did you bring them back in hand luggage or hold luggage. Just thinking about liquids in hand luggage 🫣

[wedgewood in reply to andepande]

I brought them in hand luggage ( travelling light !) No problem because I only bought 2packets . So 20 mls . But I believe that airlines are dropping the liquids rule now , as there are new safety detecting scanning technologies available .

My liquids bag was not even looked at , but passed through the scanner OK .

Does it actually help with weight loss?I went to one of those places in desperation before I prised my loading dose out of the GP - I was refused.

I was unsuitable because I take thyroid medication and the B12 jab is used for weight loss.

Of course, I could have the jabs if my GP provided a letter stating that I wasn't using it for weight loss!

Some Catch 22 that was.

Hi , where abouts in Germany did you get them from .I am thinking as a final resort of going to Germany as i just do not trust Amazon, i have been really ill for the last 6mnonths using the Hervert from Amazon de. after using B12 spray i am recovering, i have injected for 7 years with Rotexmadia . I am now desperate to source some .

[wedgewood in reply to lcunliffegizmo123]

Hou can buy B12 ampoules from any German High Street pharmacy . If they don’t have the make you want they will order it in for you ( but not Panpharma obviously )

You are mistaken in thinking that Amazon are not to be trusted . They sell on behalf of a credited German Online pharmacies . Probably the Hevert ampoules just did not suit you .

I suggest you try Pascoe B12 hydroxocobalamin. I’ve been using that since Panpharma became unobtainable. So have many other members . The ampoules are 1.5 mg x 1ml

1pack of 10 ref no 07568672

Pack of 100 ampoules ref no 07568695

Obtainable from apohealth.de This site can be obtained in English . No charge for delivery . Pay with paypal or a card

or versandapo.de

I’ve used Rotexmedica ( which changed its name to Panpharma) for 9 years . Pascoe suit me very well now .

Best wishes .

"anyone know if it's possible to bring B12 home with you if purchased while abroad"

It would be weird if you couldn't, because anabolic steroids, a class C drug, can apparently be taken in person into Britain for personal use. Possession isn't illegal, though production or supplying is, and it can't be shipped, so the only legal way (without prescription) seems to be to bring it with you into the country in person.

It would be weird if b12 was more restricted than anabolic steroids. It's just a vitamin, after all.

[wedgewood in reply to palmier]

All injectables are obtained only on prescription in U.K. Even saline !

[palmier in reply to wedgewood]

Yes, I understand that. But the substance itself, b12, doesn't need a prescription, so I suppose it is allowed to bring home if bought abroad. The law for anabolic steroids doesn't seem to make any difference between oral or injectable form.

I have Romanian neighbours, who are always going back home or know someone who is, they arranged for a lorry driver to get me some in Germany recently.

I always order hydroxocobalamin from versandapo.de in GermanyThere are no issues at all ordering from this company

I order pascoe B12 depot 1500mcg

I've not found anywhere cheaper

I go abroad several times a year.. always take my ampoules with me.. and the last few times I've brought back box's of folic acid bought from the pharmacy there

In all the times I've travelled I have never been questioned about medications

[lcunliffegizmo123 in reply to Lincsangel1]

What is the difference with Pascoe and hydroxycobalamin please ?

[Lincsangel1 in reply to lcunliffegizmo123]

Sorry.. what do you mean? Pascoe is the brand name... hydroxocobalamin is the type of aB12
