If you used to receive B12 in your GLP-1 vial and don't see it anymore, here's what changed: our compounding pharmacies have moved away from adding B12 to compounded GLP-1s. Most formulations now include vitamin B6, and some use glycine (a basic amino acid used as a stabiliser) instead.
What you're most likely receiving
Standard formulation with B6 â what most patients get. The solution looks clear to slightly yellow, which is normal.
Glycine-based or additive-free â if you flagged a B-vitamin allergy or sensitivity at intake, your order is routed automatically to one of these. These look clear or near-colourless. (See "Which tirzepatide formulation am I on?")
This applies to both tirzepatide and semaglutide â the shift away from B12 wasn't specific to one medication.
If you want B12
You can add a MIC+B12 shot as a separate treatment â it's a dedicated B12 (with methionine, inositol, and choline) injection. (See "What is MIC+B12 and how does it work?")
An over-the-counter B12 supplement from your pharmacy is also an option.
Good to know
B6 is included by default unless you flagged a B-vitamin allergy, in which case you'll receive a B6-free option instead.
Not having B12 in your GLP-1 vial doesn't reduce how well your treatment works â the B vitamin was an add-in, not the active medication.
