    Yep, you're fine. Vet is cheaper, that's the only difference of any importance.

    I don't use it, I use sublingual B12. It isn't as effective, but you can up the dose to compensate. I thake 500mcg sublingually. It can be bought anywhere vitamins are bought.

    The nice thing about America, is that veterinary medicine is strictly regulated as well. So this means that injectables need to be sterile, just like human meds. There is no difference between vet B-12 and pharmaceutical grade B-12 except for price. Also, B-12 is highly metabolized by the liver, so taking it orally is useless. Sublingual use is moderately beneficial, while injectable guarantees 100% bioavalibility.

    Yeah, Twin Lab makes it... 500mcg a pop... it's called "B-12 Dots" a tiny bottle... but plenty for at least a 2 months supply... So far I love it!
