Hi,
I need very large amounts of methylcobalamin. Have tried just about all delivery forms and nothing beats the subcutaneous injections, which my doc does prescribe me. However, I need way more than the Rx allows for and so I’m looking into alternative sources.
I’ve previously bought cheap bulk methylfolate from China (Alibaba.com) with success, and so I’m wondering if anyone has tried injectable MB12 from non-pharmaceutical (i.e., directly from the manufacturer) sources. If so, what are your experiences? Recommendations are most welcome!
A quick Alibaba search reveals a few injectable MB12 products that come in huge glass bottles. I’m thinking that the quality would deteriorate quite rapidly if I open it up several times a day, even if I do it in darkness, due to oxygen exposure. So a bunch of pre-filled smaller vials is probably a must.
Also, would it be dangerous to inject, say, Bluebonnet’s liquid MB12? Why are vials of ”injectable” MB12 so much more expensive? Do we pay for the guarantee that it’s sterile?
(I have checked the thread Trying to find cheaper compounding pharmacy for B12 injections but couldn’t find any useful information there; it was mostly about U.S. compounding pharmacies, which is not an option for me.)
Thanks in advance!
