It's a cultural thing really. We don't even have a word for it. "Bath salt" is the closest you'd get, but it is not recommended to try to order that these days. So no, it wasn't an "out of stock" situation. They even called the lady who makes the compoundings over there, and she had never heard of such a thing.

Of course there's always Amazon (in my case), but it seemed a waste to order such a cheap/heavy item, hence why I asked locally.

MrsD, the fad thing makes sense (sadly). B12 is very big in the buidy builder community as well.

Anyway, I won't complain if I never have to get those injections again. I'm curious to see my next test results after 3 months of Jarrows 5mg.
