B 12 methylcobalamin vit. tabs.

[jimrod]

Looking for one a day B 12 methylcobalamin tablets, but not sure where to find them in Thailand or a reputable place that ships them to Thailand.

I know I rarely use this forum, and when I do, it's usually cap in hand, but you guys always come up trumps.

I had heard iherb stopped shipping to Thailand. Any additional payments?

Thanks for the info.

Not unless something changed in the last 8 weeks when I got my last shipment

If you specifically want methylcobalamin, AFAIK you would have to import it.

You can easily get cyanocobalamin here - many locally made brands of this and any large pharmacy will have it.

Local brand names include:

Ampavit [ ANB ] B Twelve P [ P P Lab ] Cyanocobalamine Vesco [ Vesco Pharma ] Redisol [ MSD ] Vitamin B12 A.N.H. [ A N H Products ] Vitamin B12 Picco [ Picco Pharma ] Vitamin B12 S.C [ Acdhon ]

Vitamin B12 Atlantic

Cyanocobalamin Vesco

I've been getting my genuine, made in Japan, methycobamin, 10 tabs to a strip, at one of the 'discount' pharmacies near Bangkok's Victory Monument. They also have the injectable vials. Fascino might have the strips, not sure. Keep asking, I'm sure a good Pharmacist will source them for you.

[jimrod]

I'm not in Bangkok, I'm in Sriracha and access to Fascino in Pattaya. I don't want injectables. Do you have the name of the Japanese tabs, how many mgs and how much?

[NewGuy]

They are called "Methycobal 500", manufactured by Eisai Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan. There are 3x10-tab strips per box. Each one is 500 (mu gram?) and the suggested dosage is 3 pills a day, which I take. My Victory price (6th or 7th pharmacy along from the intersection) is 165 Baht per box. I think the Fascino price is 210 Baht, if I remember correctly. The price differential for almost all drugs allows me to visit Bangkok and have the Pattaya drug store pay. Good luck.

Cheers, yeah, I know about those, but I wasn't looking to take three a day. One or the odd occasion two, I've opted for these, 'cos I was given good feedback about them and they aren't very expensive, even including postage.

I just didn't know about Canadian, and certainly not British, Methycobalamin availability. Wow, those prices are outstanding! My 3 x 500 equates to your 1,500 (time release?) dosage. I'll later look into getting them delivered here when I run low. What about Thai Customs? Cheers.

[jimrod]

I'll wait and see, they'll end up in Lam Chabang if I have a problem. I'll keep you posted.

If all is okay, I'll have a year's supply.

[jimrod]

Received my tablets the other day, a year's supply for less than 17 pounds.

Methycobal 500 would be around 106 pounds for the same dosage.

The other plus side is, it's only one a day, not three.

[NewGuy]

When my supply gets down that's what I'll do too. Time release tabs will be a real plus. Thanks.

[mcfish]

I can barley remember to take 1 let alone 3

[jimrod]

If they work, if you take one, you should remember to take the next one.
