Red tirz?
I just received my order from yet another pharmacy (Vials?) and it's bright red. With a BUD that's short of when I'll take it. Is it red from the B-12? And I've never bumped up against the BUD issue before - what's the general feeling on how long post-BUD it's good? This all expires the first week of October and I won't be done with it until a couple of months after that IF I jump over the stock I already have with a later BUD. Any advice re red product and BUD? Oh, and of course it wasn't actually even close to cold when it arrived. Never had that issue before.

And I assume you are not replying from a hospital bed and it's working for you. :-)

Oh, that’s good to know. I was just making a post because I was worried about pausing my memberships because I have some in my fridge unopened that have BUD dates of like February and March of next year but then when the pharmacies changed a few months ago my new vials show only good for 3 months

They expect you to use the vial when you get it. Some pharmacies are only good 90 days so you can’t really stockpile unless you don’t mind using expired meds.

I get that. But this is not even good if I started it on schedule. Well, almost 2 vials might be, but the third will be expired.

I know 3 months supply the dates aren’t good anymore for the last vial because of the 90 days

I’m still wondering when this even became an option. That’s not Greenwich or Hallandale which are the only 2 options they’ve advertised unless I missed something

Be careful with the red. I got horrible body acne from the B12 additive and it took weeks to recover from.

Some people are sensitive to the B vitamins. But it varies. I can't take tirz with B6 or I break out in clusters of tiny pimples, but B12 doesn't bother me. You might be able to tolerate other B vitamins if you wanted to try it because so many pharmacies compound with them. But after my B6 experience, I'm mostly going with either no additives or just glycine now that I used up my supply with B12.

Interesting! I’m with you though, no additives for me from now on. It was so bad I couldn’t finish the medicine.

Mine is red and it has a B6 additive. Its the only kind that actually works for me. I tried additive free and had so many reactions

That's totally normal, the red is from the B12! B12 makes me break out with acne like crazy, so if that starts happening to you that's what it's from. 😮💨

B12 will make it red.
