How long does $50 15 ml of that dermal B12 oil last? About two weeks?
People that want the lowest cost B12 should look into HotVapes B12 ecig juice. It is a cyanocobalamin form so not the greatest for bioavailability. https://hotvapes.com/products/vitamin-b12?variant=1579982225433
My favorite B12 ecig is from Breathe. It is methylcobalamine so very bioavailable.

They often have coupons and sales on their email list.
It costs roughly about $15 per month.
@Hip did you ever try to mix the pure Methylcobalamin powder with DSMO, and apply it that way transdermally?
Do you have amalgams or any other suspected mercury toxicity?
I wondered if taking a FNM supplement like Source Naturals Coenzymated B2 would obviate the need for the cofactors he mentioned. I could never quite get him to answer that question for some reason.
@Hip I took this https://uk.iherb.com/pr/source-naturals-coenzymated-b-2-sublingual-60-tablets/1036 under the idea that sublingual absorbtion would avoid the phosphate clevage issue. Do you think this is legit?
My neurologist complained that my b12 lab was way too high.
I just checked the vitamins that I take on a daily basis. They include 125mcg of B12 and state that this is 5000% of the recommended dose. Now getting a 2000mcg dose is then much higher than what doctors recommend.
But still you get a positive effect from it. What do you guys think is the mechanic behind this? Is this flooding of Vit B12 forcing the cells to take some of it up when otherwise they would reject it (due to sickness)?
n fact Greg says B12 oil may be better than injections, because the B12 oil provides a slow release mechanism as it penetrates the skin, allowing the body to better utilize the B12, compared to the short-lived spike in B12 levels that you get from a B12 injection.
Isn’t B12 injected IM so it’s also slow release?
But I’m definitely going to try this, thanks for the tip.
