Now heres the funny bit The MHRA in responding to our petition stated: Vitamin B12 could not legally be classified as a medicine that can be made available for sale without prescription in pharmacies because it is an injection and because the condition it is licensed to treat, pernicious anaemia, needs a clinician to diagnose it, and monitor its treatment (see point IV above)
Fluorescence intensity was measured at 530590 nm using a CLARIOstar microplate reader (CLARIOstar, BMG LABTECH, Germany)
Unlike oral supplements, an injection delivers vitamin B12 directly into the body without relying on digestive absorption which can be reduced by age, certain medications such as proton pump inhibitors or metformin, or gastrointestinal conditions
This is another reason to use reconstituted peptides within the 28-day window, not just for sterility but for dosing consistency
Researchers with Wilson's disease or known copper metabolism disorders should avoid GHK-CU entirely
Hydroxocobalamin is the form typically used in intramuscular injections for treating B12 deficiency in the UK, as recommended by NICE guidelines
