I'm based in the UK and have Pernicious Anaemia. I was able to buy methylcobalamin 1mg for self-injection online from Arnika Apotheke in Germany back in 2019/2020 and had it shipped to the UK. But a year ago, in 2022, when I messaged to purchase more, they said they were no longer able to supply the methyl form of injectable B12 to UK people which was really sad. Does anyone know if Arnika have re-started selling methyl b12 now in 2023? I messaged them but didn't hear back yet. Is there anywhere else in the UK or Germany to buy injectable 1mg methyl b12 for injection? (I saw Skin Brighton has them online but at extremely high cost; currently a box of 10 x 1mg is £200 from them, so I'm keen to find somewhere cheaper as Arnika used to charge about £30 for 10 x 1mg). Any advice greatly appreciated. On a separate note, I buy my Hydroxy B12 from various German suppliers, and still plan to inject hydroxy, but I also like to periodically use methyl b12 as well, just to try and cover all bases in case I'm responding better to one than another. I think Arnika also used to sell Adenosylcobalamin 1mg for injection too but I don't have much experience with that form and am not sure if any of you use that form and have any experience with it? Thanks for any advice.

I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't heard either way about Arnika but i was away from the forum for a while. I also don't know of any other methyl suppliers. I also have never heard of adeno injections - my understanding was that it was too unstable in liquid form therefore no one supplied it like that - i could be wrong!
Maybe wedgewood or others will know, i'm sure they'll be by at some point.
I bought sublingual "Nature Provides" Bioactive B12 in the UK from Amazon. That has both Methylcobalamin and Adenosylcobalamin. That was the best I could find.
I find that Methylcobalamin and Adenosylcobalamin together seems to be effective. I am aware that some people do not use Methycobalamin due to their personal feeling about a sales person who made false claims.
I know that sub-cutaneous injections are not approved in U.K. , but are definitely in Germany . It’s always written on the boxes of Hydroxocobalamin that we get from there .
I am unfortunately unable to benefit from sub-lingual B12 remedies for P.A. or the various mouth/nose sprays . I’m not the only one . But NHS will insist , so I have to carry on self-injecting .
you can buy methylcobalamin in powder form from Oxford Bioscences. It needs to be mixed with injectable saline solution. They do give instructions. When I couldn’t get hydroxicobalamin from Germany did order it but have not used it yet as now have plenty of hydroxicobalamin. I had to get the saline solution from Israel Pernicious Anemia as couldn’t find anywhere in UK to sell them.
You can get Saline from any of the usual German online pharmacies that supply U.K. It’s called NaCl 0.9% or use reference 02737756 . Comes in 20 x10ml ampoules .
