    You may have the Lipo-B12 shot. There's two different kinds on the market right now, or they could just be different brands. When I got my regular B12 shots, I had them in the arm.

    The ones we use in the UK are hydroxycobalamin and are red. It's an intramuscular injection and we give it in the deltoid muscle. I'm a bit concerned why you are using them though? Have you check your levels and found to be low? Unless you have profoudly low levels or pernicious anaemia (an autoimmune condition that means you can't absorb B12 from the gut) then oral supplements would be fine.
