Hi Brian, I had to go back to the beginning of this thread when I saw the most recent post this morning.
Wow, you were paying $70 a bottle for Methylcobalamin? How big was the bottle... ????
I just checked the coutries page on my web site and saw that it is shipped from Vitacost to Australia. Vitacost is a discount vitamins company. I order from them all the time.
But in terms of shots, I have to agree with you, the shots work really well and are vastly cheaper.
The main reason I don't talk more about getting the shots is that you have to have a doctor's prescription, and some doctors just do not get it. (and therefore withhold prescriptions for B12)
It was by luck that I went to a holistic M.D. just before I got tetanus and she gave me a prescription for a shot a day for a year.
A shot a day for a month is about $6 from Wal*Mart here, so it's CHEAP. I can afford it. I love it.
But if someone wants to know if it will help them, they can buy a bottle of the Methylcobalamin lozenges that will last a couple months, I get the 5mg ones for when I just cannot stand another shot... because of the needle... and a bottle of those is around $16. (I also send them to old friends... people who I don't think would find out about it in normal daily life... but who might have a heart health need for it.)
