I need to cut expenses should I switch from methylcobalamin to cheaper form?

I'm using what was the easiest option at the time i sarted 1yr and 9 months ago - agelessrx for $75 per month for methylcobalimin,

I need to cut my expenses. I saw Amazon has a few types of cobalimin in different forms but not methycobalamin. The cost is like $1 to $4, haven't really researched vial size or dose for that price but no matter what it would be a fraction of the price I'm paying.

I searched the form and saw a lot of recomendations especially from Germany, but from what I looked up they also don't sell methylcobalamin. I didn't see many recommendations on the forum about where to get methylcobalamin.

So my question are, is it worth the savings and risk to switch from methylcobalamin to another form, will it affect me? I've been doing really good on the methyl

Other question, where to buy lower cost methylcobalamin from a reputable pharmacy? Ok if prescription needed.

I am in U.K. . I use Hydroxocobalamin , as that is what the NHS uses . It is excellent . I tried Methylcobalamin ampouies , ( much more expensive ) but found them no different than methylcobalamin. I hear that different people suit different forms of B12

I cannot get B12 injections regularly enough from my doctor , so I buy from excellent German online pharmacies ( no prescription. needed in Germany )

i know that apohealth.de will deliver to USA . You can use the reference number 16199653 to get Panpharma B12 depot ampoules . They cost about €10 ( Euros) for a pack of 10 ampoules (1mg) This is what I use . This site available in English

You can also get hydroxocobalamin from German Amazon ( available in English)

amazon.de

They supply Pascoe B12 depot ampoules and Hevert B12 depot (depot means Hydroxocobalamin) If you don’t state “depot” you bring up Cynocobalamin , which I’m sure you know is the “go-to “ampoule in USA These can be obtained in Canada quite easily .

I hope that this information helps . Best wishes .

I've only used hydroxcobalamin as in the UK.My friend in Canada has tried methylcobalabin, hydroxcobalamin and cyanocobalamin.

She actusllg was more agitated on methylcobalabin and found it far too expensive .

She settled on cyanocobalamin as easily available over the counter in Canada at s reasonable price .

An ex member with s scientific background said it all gets converted anyhow .

All brands have s slightly different mum if additives/ preservatives.

I've found one additive my body reacted to . Yet my mum and daughter fine with it .

All you can do is try it out.

Not what you're looking for?
