Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 which is particularly recognised for its benefits to the nervous system as well as the immune system. The neuroprotective properties of Methylcobalamin can be explained through it’s unique neuronal regenerative qualities. 

Vitamin B12 is necessary for formation of red blood cells in bone marrow. It supports protein synthesis and thus the growth, as well as the synthesis of DNA and RNA. B12 is essential for the structure of the myelin sheaths of the nerves, which have a protective function and at the same time enable a fast transmission of nerve impulses. B12 promotes cellular detoxification and supports the degradation of fatty acids. Studies have also shown that high vitamin B12 levels may be associated with a lower risk of having obesity

Supplementing with B12 may contribute to improving symptoms such as:

• Blurred vision.

• Depression.

• Difficulty walking.

• Dizziness.

• Fatigue and generalized weakness. 

• Irritability.

• Loss of appetite.

• Numbness and/or tingling.

• Memory trouble.

Since the body cannot produce vitamin B12 itself, it is dependent on absorption through food. It is almost exclusively contained in animal products such as meat and dairy. Our bodies however are only able to absorb 2g of vitamin B12 per meal, therefore additional supplementation may be beneficial.

More than 1 in 3 people take daily oral supplements and while they can be beneficial, the body's natural absorption process can render up to 85% of a vitamin tablet useless - so only 15% of the active nutrients may actually find their way into the bloodstream. When administering vitamin supplements via injection, a much higher concentration of nutrients is delivered directly to the body's cells, allowing the body to better absorb and utilise these.

Our B12 Self-Injection Kits include step by step instructions to ensure safe, intramuscular (IM) injection of vitamin B12.

Side effects are very rare. The most common side effect is irritation at the site of injection which could last up to 5-10 minutes. In some patients, particularly high doses of B12 can trigger a breakout of acne. This can last for 1-2 weeks and settles once the vitamin B12 supplements have been stopped. In some cases, these breakouts could be due to a lack of the vitamin Biotin. Supplementing with a safe dose of Biotin alongside your B12 injections will resolve this skin concern in many cases.

Absolutely. Our clinic offers two strengths of Methylcobalamin B12, 1mg/1ml and 5mg/1ml for self-injection. The 5mg dose offers 5 times the strength of the 1mg. The benefit of this is that this higher dose can be injected in one shot and the benefits of B12 supplementation may be felt sooner. As the body only absorbs the B12 it needs, there is no risk of overdose.

We recommend storing the Methylcobalamin ampoules at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Our Methylcobalamin B12 ampoules are single use vials.

The expiration date of the Methylcobalamin is on each individual ampoule. Typically 18-24 months from the time of order.

Methylcobalamin is the most expensive form of B12 however is favoured by Dr Knight due to its effectiveness with patients remotely and in clinic.

Good quality oral Methylcobalamin supplements, free from fillers, binders and additional additives are available to purchase for approximately £10 for a 30 day supply from reputable companies. Following the initial "loading phase," our injections will cost approximately £20 per month (based on the 10 x 1mg kit with an injection once every 4 weeks). Many of our patients choose to inject once every 6 weeks however, further lowering the cost (usually the patient will feel when the effects are starting to wear off and choose that point to receive a further injection).

Despite the higher price, we believe that injections offer better value to patients due to the far superior absorption and their effectiveness in contributing to better health and wellbeing.

Yes. Many of our patients receive Hydroxocobalmin injections approximately once every 10 - 12 weeks. Many choose to supplement with Methylcobalamin as they find the frequency of the injections offered does not meet their requirements. If you are currently receiving Hydroxocobalamin injections by your GP or the NHS, we recommend you to consult with them before administering Methylcobalamin.
