B12 and other injectable vitamins
-
I've recently tested lower then I would like for B12, and so started looking into injectable B12.
It turns out, there are a lot of 'medical' sites online who will happily provide you injectable B12 home kits. Sadly, every single one of them makes me feel less reassured than I feel ordering peptides. None have third party testing, or any assurance of purity. Many won't tell me whether they are providing methylcobalamin (good) or cyanocobalamin (bad). Most don't indicate the actual dosage... its a disaster.
Does anyone have a good RUO source for B12 and other injectable vitamins?

Oh... and to be clear... pricing from the medical site is fine (not great, but fine). Its that they all look untrustworthy as hell to me after being spoiled in peptide-land.

@hay_bayls my primary interest is B12. I have not measured my other B vitamins (yet). That said, I could easily become interested in other types of injectable vitamins as well

I did b12 shots for years and sourced from acecosm when my insurance stopped covering them. They sting like a mofo at first push but subsides after a second when done. I did weekly or every two weeks. When done as an in office visit it was monthly, and it’s a lot of up and down when done monthly.
If you do get glass ampoules you will need a luer lock filter or a blunt fill filter needle due to possible glass shards.

@randy ah... just noticed that now that you pointed it out... wow... you know its going to hurt when it comes packaged with its own lidocaine...
I got LipoC with B12 from EZ Peptides. I’m too chicken to do IM, so I do it subq. But 1ml is a lot to subq … so I split it in half, two separate spots. I haven’t had any issues with it.
I’ve found other vendors have straight B12 methylcobalamin. (Solutions or AtomikLabs)
I just chose lipoc because I was lacking the other things it included too! So win-win!

@hay_bayls Are you doing the injections weekly?
@PeptideEd
Right now I’m on a M W F schedule. Will taper down to weekly.
